I am just wondering...

Never mind. I think I didn't see what I didn't see, but now I see it again. Know what I mean?

Hi Scott,

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.

Yes, Lights in the sky...

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...

I've got a Hickman Hull #431. Anyone have an idea of how old it is? I'm guessing 2001.

Here is what one person wrote about his Hickman boat when it was listed for sale here: #465 1998.

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?

431 is not registered with the class. 433 is to Paul Bowen in NC and registered in April 1999. He still has it.

Chuck,

Am I you seeing a boat that is being described as something it is not? No, I am not.
