Owner bought the boat in
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again?	I never owned one but rented them frequently from the Air Force marina at Hickam AFB in Hawaii. Wonderful boats. They seemed old when I sailed them (late 70s) but in good shape last year when I was there they were still being used. Made many trips along Waikiki Beach. I was looking for one recently but ended up with a much newer boat so that I could get the wife to go out with me. I know of folks who have sailed them to Maui. I would love to have one of my own, but the wife will only let me have one boat.
