The little guy $$$ is being squeezed out of boating and the big guy $$$ will want something newer than these 30+ year old boats.

Ahh, do you know what a Monk 36 sold for in 1983?* And what one in good condition sells for today?* not including inflation, that is a pretty good deal.

Boats are wierd.* Something you don't need and can last forever if taken care of properly.* Who would buy that?
