I think at $1K you would probably be good (I wish thats all I paid <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />). Looks like the rudders went down the road in the down position... not pretty but repairable. Any used boat you will expect some repair/replacing so the less you pay initially really helps. Offer at $900 and see what happens. The worst that can happen is he'll say no, but on the other hand... hope he's not reading this!
Not to hijack the thread, airborne! What the hell?
