Ok, after meeting with the Po and exchanging papers, I am now the owner of #5.  My next task is to move her from her current location in Chester MD to St. Inigoes MD.  It's about 100 nm.  My choices (as I see them), are self moving over water or via commercial land carrier.  Moving by land will cost me $1000.  The boat has not been wet for several years, and the entire deck from nose to cabin is soft, so going via water through any kind of seas doesn't seem like a good idea, and it's getting late in the year to hope too much for calm seas.  Anyone have a trailer in the Maryland area that they would like to rent me?  Have I missed any other options?

Well, it looks like I will be the new Commander #5 owner :) The PO, Penokee, and I came to a mutually advantageous understanding... WooHoo! Now all I have to do is figure out how to get her from Chester to Solomons (MD) on her own bottom :p
 
It won't be the first time I made the trip at least, I bought an aged Chris Craft (which I still own, of course), up in Georgetown about this time last year and motored her down the Chesapeake as well. She will most likely be my "big friend" for the voyage.  Fun trip!

I'm the current (only) bidder on number 5. As a noob to the sailing world, (I have a restored Chris Craft 38 powerboat right now), I'm hoping that this little sweetie will be a good cruiser/racer for the Chesapeake Bay. Or is this just a good heavy air boat... Anyone?
