Too Much $$$. C-Skiffs were real short money back then. The hull alone probably only sold for $2500 - $3000. Whatever your considering, you can check approximate value online at Kelly Blue Book (
www.kbb.com I beleive or something like that). I'm with the others and would prefer something with more "V" for a smoother, drier ride. You should be able to find something in your price range check out
www.boattraderonline.com as a good source.
