What a beautiful day on Chesapeake Bay! Flat as a millpond this morning,

I have the opportunity to make an offer on a colvic sailer 29' 9"
moulded in 1980 but never completed.
The details are below as to whats included in the sale and what state

With my default 19" black max (3 blade) RPM wide open is about 5900

I expect my newly ordered Trophy Plus 17" (4 blade) to do about 6150
