I agree with the "run away!" comments. I bought my C&C 24 7 years ago for $3,600, with a rough working job, an almost new 150 (I think) Genny, a 9.9 hp outboard that seized up soon after purchase, a trailer. All in all on good shape. A year later I looked at almost the identical boat for $2,500. Imagine buying sails, rigging, outboard, etc for that. Ed
