Found this while searching.

You won't find it searching in MO, since MI is Michigan, ;)
Nice looking boat though.
Silly me!
Thanks BruceW
Well that just makes it closer!
The first photos are of a 23 not a Sun Cat. was a little surprised till i scrolled further. Looks nice, more than likely fresh water sailed, stored in-doors, so when ya going!
Yes, yes..I emailed the marina and pointed out that they indeed have the wrong picture posted on the website.
Are you planning on taking a look at that boat. Looks like it would fill your need. The price is higher but it is probably a fresh water boat which is important and means a lot. The early Sun Cats have a S.S. centerboard trunk that can corrode in salt water when the boat is wet stored.

"The price is higher...."
Do you mean that this boat is overpriced?
What would be a good offer....granted we haven't really seen the boat yet.

I WOULD like to see the boat but its 13 hrs from me...yikes
I recently bought a Menger 19. It was in New Jersey and I am in Florida 15 Hours drive time. I made a telephone offer and it was accepted contingent on my final revue in New Jersey. I drove three hours to check out one Menger that was perfect but over priced but I did get a very good idea of what the boat was like. I was negotiating on two other boat, the one in N.J. and one in N.C. The boat in N.C. had issues so I opted to check out the N,J. boat and finally bought.
The Boat was acceptable after a review with a minor price reduction lower than my telephone offer. I finalized the deal and towed the boat back to Florida. I have done this for several boats. It works for me but I have a lot of years sailing and buying boats.
A fourteen hour trip can be a vacation if you make it that.
If you really want the boat make an offer that you are comfortable with. If this is the first Sun Cat you have seen maybe it's not the time to make that kind of offer. But if you have done your home work you should recognize the boats pluses and negatives.
By the way I sold my Sun Cat within days of bringing the Menger back to Florida. They are great boats especially suitable for trailer sailing which is what we do now.
Good Luck
