Maughan,

Don't get me wrong, it sounds like a good boat. What I am trying to say is that as a Tornado it is not worth that much. As a one off special it might be.

A boat for sale is only worth what somebody is willing to pay. If you are willing to buy it and pay premium price, than the boat and platform are worth premium price.

You may or may not intend to race it as a Tornado (X boat). However the advice I am trying to give you is use my information as a bargining tool. Every body would love to pay the least possible price for their toy.

If you can get pictures, please post them as I and I am sure others would love to see it.
