Re: Why so cheap?
The first pic on post 11 of the Virgin boat racing is great.....Look at how it stands out in a sea of all white, plain, boats that all look the same...except the cig! Classic.

Wow! Good deal, if it was put back together and completely re-rigged properly (which I have no doubt that it was).
Someone's going to get an awesome boat (hopefully, it will be either either:
1) Mr. "It's Ms. Right Now.... not Ms. Right" aka Cash, or, as thedonzjr. says,
2) Mr. "Why do the women ALWAYS walk right past us and straight to you" aka Gordo!).
I know both of you guys have REALLY been lookin' for the "right" boat to buy!
No "fist to face" conversations Greg!

I'd LOL if it got bid-up! Now that would shut all the nay-sayers up re: Cig. resale - wouldn't it! haha....

This would have made a huge differance for the rest of the owner. Did they ask Tres for help? Or didn't he offer the information when selling. Who knows.
