I seem to have an embarrassment of riches. I was recently prepared to drive two states away to buy a Catalina 22, now they're popping up all over, and for fair prices. None of the boats I've seen have all the stuff I'd want, but that's a good thing in a way.
If, for instance, the seller had put in a really nice GPS a couple of years ago, and spent $300 for it, he'd still consider that to be a $300 enhancement to the boat, even though the newer, less expensive models might be much better. I'd rather pay a lower price for a bare boat, and add nice new up-to-date stuff. One thing I may not have mentioned: I CAN'T TOW THE BOAT I'M BUYING! That's right. My truck is too small to tow a C22, so I'll have to use the boat as a camp, and as a project, until I get a bigger vehicle. That means I won't be adding any fancy electronics for a while. I'm not going to have them sit there with their warranties expiring, while I'm saving up for a new vehicle. I'm hoping that when I'm ready to add a stereo, that marine MP3 players will be commonplace. That'd be nice.
