Yes Rich, you are correct that J/30s out here seem to carry a "PNW Premium" over east/central listings. But it comes with the territory. I know Natural High was probably 5-8K more than she would have been on the east, but I wanted a J/30 and didn't want to ship it.
Olson 911s are good boats too, but they seem to carry a big premium over the J too. When i was looking I couldn't find anything less than $35K,
