Simon,

The description and photos look like what we are seeking for an offshore racer. As we are just now in the other end of the kid-raising spectrum, the 92 is a great fit for our goals. Please let me know your asking price. 

Thanks,

Derik

Your listing shows the weight of the boat as 4800 lbs.  Respectfully that is way off (unless you have made some drastic modification from the factory specs).

Per the J boats website, the displacement of this hull is shown as 5610 lbs.

Even the J88, J boats lighter successor to the 92S, is listed at 4990 lbs.

Thanks JD. My bad, I meant to copy the specs from the J Boats website, and clearly made a typo. I corrected the pdf.
