Great three hour run in 48 degree weather, 10-15 kt NW breeze, from yard to our home mooring. Everything (engine, electrics, new prop, new electronics and all other systems) worked perfectly. Time to enjoy!

Thank you sir. We had an opportunity last summer for a IG39 Eurosedan. It was a 2003 model that was never titled. The dealer went out of business and the bank repossessed the boat. We watched the price go from over 200k to $199k to $179k all the way to $149k. And that 149k was asking price so no telling what it actually sold for. Anyway, still too much cash for us but someone got a screaming deal!!!! The owner of the defunct dealer kept the IG32 for himself. The IG39 is berthed just 2 slips down from it's smaller sibling. Who knows, maybe the dude bought it back from the bank for pennies on the dollar????....lol
 
John:
I know the dealer and the boat. I almost made an offer but when I gave it a lot of thought, we decided that our 32 fit us just fine and the extra length of 7 feet meant higher cost for* diver, slip, wash and wax, etc. As you said, he kept the 32 also.
