Both of you did very well indeed. Good buys are out there, keep the eyes and ears open and be patient. We sold our old Vanguard fiver for a song, it needed a lot of work we were not prepared to put into it. I was prepared to sell the truck and find something else to do for my retirement when I came across a 24 1/2' Prowler on cl for 1500 bucks. Against my better judgement I looked at it and scored. It needs some work the previous owner couldn't be bothered with but has been well cared for, he wants a tc so he can pull his boat. Now we can retire next year and still travel WOOHOO!!!
