[C320-list] Buying a 1997 C320

[KEN GEIGER]

Covid has caused a demand that has affected pricing mostly upward.  You need to find comparable boats, age and fittings and condition and usage (fresh or salt water) and shipping cost if any and determine fair market value, not easy.
We bought our 2000 #765 nine years ago in Ontario, as well maintained, well outfitted always fresh water boat for CAD 74,000.  Comparable to USA boats at the time.  Dollar exchange rate was much better for Canadians at about 1 to 1.  
We are retired and our C320 is our 3rd and last boat.  Sailing on Georgian Bay

  stock boat. Been neglected a bit.

    Can you tell us a price range? Has anything major been added to the
    boat?

    Hi there, I am seriously looking at buying a 1997 C320. I think the
    hull number is 416...could be wrong.
    I currently own a C400 which is used in the winter for cruising the
    Bahamas and stored in Florida through the summer and fall.
    Wondering if there are any common issues that I should be aware of
    before handing over the cash for this little beautie ?
    Thanks !
