Yes, and I think it's above what the boat will be worth to most buyers. Right now it is at $1,300 (was $1,500). Hard to set a price on these things ... A 30lb Mini Mystery (shorter by a foot or two than the original) with rudder and strip construction was, what I would call almost "given way" for $500 in the same neighborhood (I'm too big for it or would have snapped it). And I've checked out local commercial composite boats in great condition for about the same or less than the seller is asking, but of course, these are heavier... (e.g., a keyhole Pintail for $1,200, CD Caribou for $900, Nordkapp H2O for $1,400...)
