[C320-list] In Boom Furling

[Robert Seastream]

Make it 5 years young, then.  We're trying to save the several thousand 
dollars difference we've seen between buying new vs slightly used.  By 
example, we bought our 2002 320 in November of 2005 and paid 88K.  I 
was told the PO rarely used it, which I believe, considering he only 
put 57 hours on the engine in four years.  The only major option I 
could see was a Garmin 183C chartplotter, unless the dodger, anchor, 
and mast furling main were also options.  A Newport, RI show priced 
2006 320 new was $111K, less freight and commissioning (a 400 2 cabin 
was $218K).  The goal here is to keep our house (although selling it 
when retirement time came was discussed), yet have a boat large enough 
to run south for the winter.
