I ordered a Tohatsu 6phsail pro from outboardsonline.com today. They only wanted $1450 with free shipping. The sail pro comes with a built in alternator. I don't know if I will need it on such a small boat, but having it pre installed, is cheaper than having it installed later. We are leaving for Williamsburg tomorrow, hope it doesn't come before we get back.

We signed on our boat today at lunch. Then Brooke, Flannery and I went out for lunch at Estelas.

We went back out and payed Bill his asking price.  Seemed fair.  There are a couple other H22's in the area going for $500 to $1000 more, in about the same shape, all without motors.

We went to look at "Gulf Breeze" a Hunter 22, today.  Bill the owner wants  $1150.00 for it.  He says it needs it leaks around the front hatch and port lights, needs a new keel swing pin and bushing.

I think this is a boat that Brooke really likes. She seemed really excited about it. It is small, but the systems are simple.  Besides what Bill said, it will need a bottom job. Bill can't remember ever doing one, but with that said there is next to no growth on it.  It will need a motor, Bill doesn't have one.  Other things I noticed were, it will need a new deck organiger, or at least sheaves, a new double rope clutch, and at least rebuild the winches - #6 lewmars, and possible a new thru hull and sea cock.  It's not leaking, but I am concerned that it's a gate valve not a sea cock. Could use a fresh coat of paint on the non-skid areas, but looks in great shape.
