What was the cost?

Some of our boats are now approaching 35 years old and even the younger ones are 25 or so. The new T-3700 sells for well into the 300's and this got me thinking: "What did our original 37's sell for new in 1977 or 1986?" I have never heard a figure before, so if anyone out there knows the answer, I would find it interesting.
Thanks,
Tom

Mine was a 1979 model and I saw something around written about $58,000. The PO was the original owner, note sure what options come with it for that price.

Thats what I have heard, somewhere around $60,000 +/-

Pretty cool that they have maintained their value and when well cared for, get even more, I true testimate to the quality of the design & build.

That is pretty cool that they've maintained the price range 'cept for that inflation thingy......now if we could just get an adjustment for that we would actually have a sound investment...better than what the stock market is doing!!! Snicker

I have an old 76 price list[and a spare original owners manual if somebody really wants one]
Standard base price was $57,000. included everything[anchor,life jackets, fire extinguishers etc] but NOT sails. Freight and commisioning to East coast, $1800 Cradle $250, and a guess of $2000 for main and genoa. Bruce.

That is $68,250 in 1976. Using a CPI Calculator http://146.142.4.24/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl I get $275,150 in 2012. That's pretty close to the $300,000s for a T3700 quoted above.

More reason to Keep On Sailin'!
