Considered a used Capri 18?
Have you looked for late-model pre-owned Capri 18s? I got a very choice '93 C-18 last summer. I found it in a website classified ad section. The price was $7K, including trailer. That included virtually all the options including: CDI jib furling/135 jib, swim ladder, 1996 Johnson 3 hp outboard (w/ remote fuel tank), Porta-Potti, 2 anchors, Sevylor 3-person inflatable, Lewmar genoa winches, full running lights, and many other *doo-dads* that the seller threw in. The boat has never felt saltwater and was meticulously maintained. I was looking at a new '98 C-18 at the time, but the dealer's price was too high, considering that I'd still need to buy a motor and some other items that I got w/ my used boat.
