Alden Challenger sale

Post by Quetzalsailor »

Gentlemen,

Check out this eBay listing for an Alden Challenger:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 4637550365

We looked at this boat when it was in City Island NY, it's now in California.

A worthy but huge project.

Exactly as you say, a big job, but probably well worth the effort.

They are totally drool-worthy, aren't they.

(Even to those of us who..... ahem.... aren't "gentlemen.")

Just one look at Tom Young's Challenger, "Christmas" makes me want to do something really crazy and....... no, wait, it's waaaaaay too big for me. Must stop watching that auction :-) Must.

It may go really cheap. The fellow selling it dropped the reserve to $1526.00.
Perhaps I need two Challenger projects? Or should I stay married?
