That web site that Georgs mentioned today has lots of boats for sale

http://www.cooperss.com/99054.htm

(not that I would ever buy one from there).

We entertained ourselves after dinner looking at the boats and the terrible
damage some of them have sustained.  The "entertainment" was in the
category of a horror movie.  The hulls ripped end to end, the decks smashed
to pulp, the boats without any running gear, or with large ugly holes from
rocks in the bottom.

Many of the boats were 1999 models, one only had 8 hours on the engines!

Kind of makes you want to check your bilge pumps, wear lifejackets, and
learn to read charts.

God, please don't let that happen to our beloved boat.
