Even so it may run fine. It is probably about 2 miles from my house too.
This brings up a good point - The asking price is one thing and the offered price might be something else. "Rebuilt" could also mean any number of things. Would this A4, considering it is sound and running, at $700 be a good option? This example was the result of a single 5 second search of the Eastern Shore Craigslist. A broader search could reveal anything from free to 5 grand. Dunno. Caveat emptor I suppose.

If it were me and I were trying to sell a production 30 foot sailboat in otherwise excellent condition, I'd find a used, running A4 and drop that baby in the boat, and sell it. As it is, you have a boat that isn't very desirable, even though it's in excellent condition. A Moyer rebuild would be the buyers dream, but you'd never get your return out of a fresh engine I think.
