It is in excellent shape. I have a few questions that I am hoping the experts on this page can help me out with. 1- Is it a good starter boat? I have a friend who sails that is going to help me and give me lessons. 2- is this boat a good choice? 3 - What are some of the things to look for in buying one of these boats? 4 - What is a fair price? 5- The one I am looking for does not have a trailor, its stored in a slip. How easy is it to find a trailer for one of these? I appreciate any help or info you can provide. Thanks
