I wouldn't touch it with somebody else's 10 foot pole. Drettmann yachts were never known to be very high quality units. I believe they went bankrupt about 14 years ago due to the high costs associated with all the used boats they took back as trade-ins on bigger boats. If anyone wants to buy it, make sure you get a reputable, independent, professional surveyor to check it out. That boat is going to cost you way more than 315K.

Curious to know what it cost when new, James? In 1983, my father-in-law bought a brand new Princess 35 (or 36?) for around £35k. I’ve seen those same boats now fetching over £40k. You’d know far better than I but I reckon a lot of boats hold their value if you buy well and look after them. PS Our Parker 850 that Dan fleeced me for 😂 is now over 2yrs old… with 240 engine hours… but pristine… probably worth what we paid or close to, as a new one will now cost nearly £180k.
