Re: Disagree ....
But I wonder if you are the normal sort of buyer? I doubt it somehow /forums/images/icons/smile.gif.
It was just a Broker I know told me that it is always easier to sell a better-known boat, so, at one end of the table you can get a great boat built as a one off, that will take ages to shift and will not go for what she is really worth, while at the other end, he used the example of the Centaur, you find well known boats that tend to go quickly and, to be honest, for more than, intrinsically, they are worth.
Actually, I agree with you that there are boats just as good as the Centaur for less money, and boats that are worse that cost more. I suspect with any boat of that age – and how old is the youngest Centaur? 23 years? - it will be more a question of how she has been treated in the past quarter of a century than anything to do with the original concept/build quality etc.
