By using a sailboat comparison tool, in this case sailboatdata.com, we were really able to narrow our focus. Buying used sailboats can be daunting. There are a lot of choices and a lot of "cheap" sailboats on the market but this great comparison tool is free for all to use. This episode shows how we went through the process of buying a used sailboat in Maine that was inexpensve, but not cheaply made!

For those interested:
The Morgan 382 was listed at $35,000.
The Alberg 37 was listed $39,500.
The C&C 33 was listed at $18,500.
The Cape Dory 36 was listed at $54,500.
The Bristol 35.5 was listed at $38,500.

We paid $28,500 for the Morgan 382.
