What should we know about a 2008? Value - ? Offered at 23.5k, too high? too low.

We could use your valuable input.

It's a powersailer, so most important expense is the engine. Sails next.
What steered you to an M?

It trailers well but u need to tow with a full sized pickup at least v8. There easy to raise mast once you figure it out. I put up in parking lot before launching. Nice roomy to sleep in. But it doesn't motor well ya gotta keep light and get all water out ballast and pull board up to plane

And it sails even worse look into wind put your right and left arm straight out that's your best point of sail. Best bet is motor up wind to others side of lake then sail back

I think it's important to rig a system to empty the ballast tank before you bring it up the boat ramp. But that depends on how slippery the ramp is and how big of a tow beast you have.

Where is the “can of worms” icon?

People either love them or love to hate them?
