Hello all,
On the lookout for a Nacra 5.2 in the Seattle area +10 or so hrs driving time...they seem to be hard to find and am considering a longer drive as it may be necessary...if any of you know of one even remotely close to me for sale please respond...a 5.8 or a 5.7 are not out of the question either...don't need upgraded sails etc as close to stock is just fine...racing is not really in the plan but a solid boat with Dacron sails would do the job but will consider upgraded sails as well. Thx Russ 425-766-9406

Thanks JohnES...Oh that Prindle 19...I have tried and tried to get a look at that boat as it would be my 1st choice close by...it looks to be a scam...called and setup a view to look it over...will only work on texts will not answer an actual phone call...must bring cash in your hand...finally after asking 6 times over 5 days finally gave me an address...which was on a dead end gravel road with many junk cars in yard but no boat...no one there...on and on and on over 2 weeks...finally gave up..they didn't know anything about the boat...looks great in picture and the price is great...perhaps too great...more red flags than I can count. Trying to look at or buy that boat had been a serious lesson in dealing with frustration.
