$12,900 for a C26
Does this seem a little high or am I just cheap? It does look real nice, seems to come with quite a bit, and new rigging but no trailer. I'm not looking to buy this just curious on others opinion on the price.

Overpriced ? Only if it doesn't sell at that price.
Sounds like someone did a lot of great work, and a lot of the upgrades listed are expensive items. That's a really nice outboard and isn't cheap.
I think if it had a trailer that was as nice as the boat is, it would be closer to a price I would go for were I in that market with that kind of money..
To the owner - nice work on putting this old Chrysler into great shape..

I have spent a lot of time looking and it is way over priced but if he can get the money good for him. I know if someone had to pay me what I paid for my boat plus the time and material I have spent on it the cost would be way more than what it is worth on the open market. But price is always relative to the size of your pocket book and your desire to own a particular piece of property, find the right buyer and cha ching..............
It seems like a fair deal with everything and it is the early deck, I'm tring real hard not to jump the gun and buy a bigger boat untill this summer, but that is tempting.
The 1st mate and I have been talking alot about semi retirement and finding a boat we could live on months to a year or so at a time, but has to be something I still enjoy sailing. I don't see her letting go the site of land so a good coastal crusier like this really might fit the requirement.
If its still avalible in a few months I might go look at it.

Let's hope he gets it. It would be nice knowing my boat is appreciating.

Hi all,
Thanks to all for your comments about the C-26 listed on Craigslist. I am the current owner and recognize that the asking price is more than is commonly seen for C-26s. Keep in mind it is also an asking price.
As some have rightly pointed out in this thread, the additions and upgrades have cost far more than what I am asking. Everything that could be done to improve/upgrade this boat is done. I'm sure there are a few things I have forgotten to list, like all new 1/8" stainless steel backing plates throughout. I will post some interior shots when I get a chance.
I intended to post the listing under the "for sale" section on this excellent discussion board but someone beat me to it by starting the discussion.
The C-26 certainly has earned a loyal following and rightfully so.
Thanks,
eamac
