The Auction is a good place to watch. Beware, this is where knockoffs surface or boats never registered. Verification of the hull is reguired before registration or transfer...Class Secretary.
Well, the time of year is ripe for quick sales. I know of one boat that went for $2,000 because of what it was and it matched the buyers needs. New, fully built boats are going for $2,600 and up. I don't think we are immune from the price game that suggests you get what you pay for but this time of year might fetch more for a boat than other times simply because the demand is high.
Hey, I’ve got a good idea. I’ll wait until someone tries to sell a 95 standard boat and then I will offer to sell my Hickman relic with a similar sail number for what looks like a bargain price. Probably the buyer will think it is a great deal on a 95 std because he does not realize how late Skip Hickman got into the 95 standard game.
Or maybe it is just a happy coincidence and no deception intended.
Rhetorical question: What would the sail number of the first Hickman 95 std boat have been? Around 1700? 1750? Higher? (I believe 95 std #2 was my Marietta buddy Rob LeR's red boat.)
Those lights are still making me write strange things...
Well, I have a Hickman 95 standard which is hull #605. The sail number is 1692. There is no date but I am pretty sure that it was built in 2000-1.
Scott, are you seeing a boat that is being described as something it is not?
My Hickman has undergone a complete refit and has a new RMD deck and ballast. The only thing not new on this boat is the hull. So does the sail# and or hull # dictate the price?
