Mark,
What are the "NADA" valuations you refer to?
You won't find a CS30 for $15k on the Great Lakes unless it has some serious
problem.
If I found a good one for that price I would buy it tomorrow.
Boats of all kinds are generally more expensive here than on the east coast,
but that is for a good reason if the boat has been
here all its life.
Fresh water, a 6 month sailing season, and annual haul out for winter all
contribute to better preserved boats.
Something to bear in mind as you compare prices online.

Subject: Re: Stus-List New boat - NOT
Mike,
Thanks for the heads up. That boat is with Sunnybrook Yacht brokers.
They are asking ~$39000. Very few interior pictures online (which is a
red flag after I looked at a boat earlier this summer where pictures
were carefully taken to hide rot and water intrusion)
There is another CS30 for sale in Chester - I've talked to the broker
and I'm going down to check out the boat this wkend (pictures online are
not as clear - so harder to gauge condition)
http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1986/Cs-30-2254686/Chester-Basin/Canada#.Ukrs_4asiM4
They are asking $31000. But I keep making the mistake of thinking that
the asking price has some relation to the actual selling price.
Figuring that a boat listed for $22500 in Boston should be easier to
negotiate down to $15-16K vs a boat listed at $31K --- but then I
remember that one C&C32 I was watching online, but didn't go to look at
because it was too expensive at $30000 came back up for private sale for
$16500. I need to not worry about "offending" a seller, be comfortable
offering what I think the boat should sell for - if they refuse then I
move on.
Looking at NADA values online the CS30 is avg $15000. The broker says
the sellers are "motivated" - we'll see how much if the boat looks
good. I figure bringing a boat back from the US adds $2-4000 to my
cost. So if I can get a local boat for a couple grand more then I'm even.
