I may be wrong and hopefully I don't offend here, but I've always hoped that this forum should be able to help us cat sailors with such questions. A lot of the dealers I've been in contact with have pretty unrealistic ideas of what boats and parts are worth - don't get me wrong, some are great, but others haven't a clue. And in the end the true worth of something is what somebody is willing to pay. This is a great audience to ask those questions. I think we should be able to ask those questions here - what are boats/parts worth etc. I understand how such questions can get turned into ads themselves - the simple asking of what to ask for X alerts folks that you have one for sale. I'm not sure how to address that, but given the source of information this forum is, it's a shame we can't ask it here. Maybe the trick in that case to ask the question on a forum that does not have classifieds.
