Only the few people on the forums know the true value of these boats. The young kids are playing with their phones & the old have gotten too lazy, so the market is extremely depressed. San Diego market won't buy a P-16 for $700. I recently got a P-15 on trailer for $150. That '84 probably has the $80 steel bearing traveler also. Pete

too bad it is a 9+ hour drive for me or I'd do it. its only been out of the wrapper for 13 years

Those boats are the hidden gems,but as Pete said they just have little value unless it is with someone that has sailed one. This one would be a tough sell in my area for $800.

this would be a great starter for someone...with beachwheels and nice trailor...hulls might still be solid. room for negociation for sure. I look at them like dirt track racers...cheap parts boats around, sail it hard, I mean hard...and when you break something, swap it. pete knows the extreme durability/reliability of this classic. I have met several folks who used to have a prindle and they upgraded...they give me the ole "don't get me wrong...like the new boat but still miss the prindle, not sure the upgrade was a good thing or not". having an easy/trusty platform makes sailing much more accessable...it's a great "gateway" drug into the addiction of cat sailing. now for the more competitive skipper, nothing less than the best will do in the quest for speed but for a young family looking for some fun, perfect fit.

Sounds great but I don't like the last line in the ad...

"In the water and easily inspected."

I don't think he meant it is sitting in the water - I think he means he sails it.

"hulls might still be solid."
my 78 hulls are rock solid - i'm not sure how the hulls on this boat wouldn't be.
i've had my p16 since 2007 and I only wish it could hold more people. Too many kids and they keep growing.
