Probably due to the fact that the boat is treated like a princess ! I am not going to sell her - mostly because I am not sure I could EVER actually part with her but was asked by a friend who was interested in buying her what the price might be if I did. Quite honestly if all I could get would be mid 20'sK that is not going to happen. Could never replace her for that kind of $$ ! So happily for me she is not for sale unless of course the price were right but it would have to be a hell of allot higher then that to part with her. Thank you for the tip on the insurance company. My homeowners insurance in the 1000 Islands told me she was to over powered to have on the policy ! Sounds daft !!
The boat is hauled on the St. Lawrence for the winter and I am in England for the winter so I can't come up with a hull number but I know she was a pretty early in the production line. She might even have been built in 1968 and Dad took delivery in 69. Somewhere at the island I have the original bill of sale from Don Aronow to my father. That is probably worth more then the boat ! I can't remember but I think the price was $12k ?? Will will look for a hull number both on the boat and on the bill of sale once spring comes and I return to the St. Lawrence ! If you guys do the Canadian Poker run up there you go right by my house!
