$15,000
Pearson 323's were built to be safe, easy to sail, comfortable cruisers.  Briar Patch has a NEW FULL DODGER AND BIMINI (2018), NEW COCKPIT CUSHIONS, NEW HEAD (2016) and is now looking for a new home.  She was re-powered so, now equipped with a 2003 Volvo diesel engine.  These boats are considered very sturdy, with a solid fiberglass hull and skeg hung rudder.  Features like these and a shallow draft (4.5') make these boats perfect for a day on the lake or a long range cruise in coastal waters.  With a few upgrades and a touch of TLC (but not so much that you can't sail her right now) she could take you where you want to go.  Check out the blog of a previous owner!
