So not much interest for a slow lobster boat huh…..you guys have any advice on where else I can list this that may be more appropriate. I am open to any and all input, price, better photos, whatever. Thanks! Jamie

That looks like the perfect boat for a sailing club doing their time trials/races/practices near shore. Maybe it would be worth calling around to sailing clubs in your area to see if there is an interest.
