I nicely told him that he would be lucky if someone would take it and he could never get 20G for a boat in that condition. I later got a call from his daughter who said she tried to tak to her father and explain the real value of the boat and he did not care. Oh well....I guess it will rot right where it sits.

What do you mean with :the last 39 in 79, built or raced?

I have been in contact with Billy Martin Jr. and in a few days I will hopefully speak to Martin Sr. and probably solve the mystery, and maybe he can elaborate on how many 39' with curved deck actually was made and was raced.
