Building an Optimist? Sorry Derek, someone beat you to it--and he's
got an Oldshoe for sale!

My apologies to the group for this moment of uh...punnery. I caved. I
promise I won't let it happen again.

David,
Mine was only made out of wood but thanks for the compliment :-)
I was originally asking more then I eventually sold her for but I
never was much of a salesman and it was breaking my heart to see her
go un-used while I focus on Windermere.
The new owner is enthusiastic about his new purchase and I
believe,due to his vast experience in out-door adventures and
canoing, will further expand his range of fun on the water with lots
of sailing! In other words, I think I got every sellers dream: a good
home! I look forward to reading about new adventures with Lestat from
another perspective :-)

Sincerely,

Peter Lenihan

Mine is pewter,
what would it sell for? <g>

Someone is selling an Oldshoe in MAIB
for $5,500? Whew!
I sold my Micro relatively easily by advertising in Messing About in
Boats.

If you have done a first class job using marine grade ply, glass set
in epoxy, nicely faired, and a first class paint job expect between
$4500 - $6000 depending on condition and amount of equipement (i.e. -
trailer, motor, etc.). I probably could have held out for more by
waiting a little longer, but I had a buyer and another boat in sight
at the time.

Peter L. sold his for more than this, but his was the platinum model
whereas mine was gold plater!

Good Luck
David Jost
