It was flyable as you say, but tired. Stripped it down to the tubing and did a restoration and instrument upgrade after a few years. Finally sold it after about 15 years for 12,000. Price on a 1-26 is just like price on any glass ship, if the gel coat is blown up, or blowing up on a glass ship you can get it cheaper (more expensive in the long run). Sill a great first ship that can teach you many things, and still fun to race in one class competition. Kevin 92 formerly 192 A couple years ago when I first started trolling W&W adds looking for a potential ship, a decent flyable 1-26 was running in the $4k to $6k range. The ones offered now are twice that. I find it hard to believe that the quality of the current offerings are that much better than formerly, but I could be wrong. I realize you can spend a lot of money on new instruments--over $5k just on a basic set, so maybe this is what I'm seeing here? I also realize that restoring these ships is not cheap, and maybe the price of the current offerings is reflecting this as well. |
