Hi Jim..

I live in Maine and would be interested in the boat. The thing you have to concider is if someone buys the boat they will have transporting cost's as well as trailer costs if they plan to do the racing cercuit. This could add up to 2-5000 between the two. Let me know the condtion and bottom line you would take for her. I just boat a Olson 30 but would buy the Express for the right price as well. Thanks Chris...
