It's just too big for he and my mother to handle if they don't have someone else cruising with them now that they've put some more years under the belt. He's looking for a trailerable 26-28' but isn't going to start looking until his current one is sold, he listed it with Peter Fisher @ Fish Yacht Sales in Niantic early in the winter and has started getting some action on it now that we're creeping closer to spring.

A little more in my neighborhood, if you come across any older 11' Whalers in your travels along the shore let me know. I'm looking for one for my kids to learn with. A 13' would make more sense but I can get away with putting an 11' at the dinghy dock and not have to get a slip. They aren't very easy to find, at least without looking too hard.

I know of a super mint 11ft Whaler, I think they want like $4k for it. New paint, trailer, engine, varnish, everything.

You should have bought my Grandfathers 315 Commander, you could have bought it for a song. That was a nice boat, a poor mans Bertram 31 or Blackfin.
