I did pass the the HO site information, don't know if he checked it out or not. He said he was in contact with the broker who gave him a "positive report" on the boat, whatever that means. Last I heard is that they were in the car and driving to Sandusky.
I did find the mast weighs in at 800 pounds, I hope our mast crane at the club is up to that task.
We had sailing friends with a small Freedom called "Wizard" many years ago, they loved the boat. Kinda lost touch with them, we both moved to different marinas. Thanks for the information though. Not real sure what our friend is thinking here, they currently have a 30' slip.
