D28's are great cruisers, if you go down this path you will find you have double the internal volume to use than the Cav, and its quicker too as a bonus!

"Your" one is not as nice as this one - https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1518895386.htm?rsqid=f14a1f579f39424489b8221e9596fada

but I know this one as it hauls out in our local boatyard I have seen the love ($$) it has received in the last few years. If you have the time to "invest" the cheaper one could ultimately be  this one, or cost up your maintenance and out of the water time and see if its not better actually buying the more expensive one with the stuff already done.

10hp is not enough,the old had a 10. Went north on Sunday,rang owner he sang praises but very disappointing,went further north 

and again disappointing.Wish owners were just honest and not post photos from 2 yrs ago. Will go and have a look but no rush,Saturday might end up in Coromandel,on trade a boat there is a trogan 750 keel version.Looks rough but $$ seem right.

 

Failing all else might repay some debt or fiance number1 in to varsity .

Went and viewed the D28,Hmm like VB stated keep looking,wont go in to whats right or wrong,but if you got for $5k and spent $10/15k you would a good yacht which means buy one at $25k going sailing!.

 

So now next Saturday going to make the trek to Coromandel ,have spoken to the owner who does not want to sell but needs too for reasons explained to me. :oops:
