Hello, I am looking at potentially purchasing a small Max sailboat Apparently has the same maker as the Butterfly. Just wondering if anyone knows of any pros or cons with the boat. Any feedback appreciated

Barnett Boats . . . looks like they went out of business in 1989. the 'Max' is an 11 foot board type of boat, similar to a Laser or a Sunfish, but smaller. What are your plans for this boat?

I found a link to a page about the MAX http://ben.lobaugh.net/blog/category/sailing/barnett-max

Not sure if you will find any first hand info or not. Does not look like it would be for any more than a couple of small kids or 1 smaller adult. I would think it is not a big financial risk, but may be tough to sell if you don't find it useful.
