If you are only working off the photos AA you should know the camera person isn't the best at picking angles as she looks even better in real life. She is a very tidy good looking machine, so much so I thought she was new for a moment. I've been walking past her a lot lately.

 

Sorry picking on your skills camera person but the ext photos don't really do her justice.

Thanks for the photo feedback. Took them on my iPad to get the listing up asap to avoid divorce. Maybe my subconscious didn't want good photos listed as I still want to sail her!

 

Will get some new shots taken. Lots of watchers on TM - maybe that is a good sign!

Well to be honest lots of watchers doesnt necessarily translate into buyers. The bulk of them are merely curious and another significant amount are your mates wanting to see how you go. But it only takes one person to fall in love with the boat. Hope you find that one person. E 7.9's are cool boats. :thumbup:
