Very interesting..
Hull and liner obviously from molds. Wonder why they chose an A4 for power - unless they have a source of new ones? Perhaps they chose to use an engine they had as a take-out - but then they'd have to sell it as a new boat with a used engine.
But then again, the hull has CF numbers so it's probably a used boat/motor built as a one-off by a 3rd party. But that price seems pretty extreme for a used 14' boat - even with such a prime power plant. I'm not sure I could sell my Tartan 30 for that price?

I agree on the price. I'm familiar with the Newport Harbor Shipyard aka Lido Shipyard, builders of this line of boats. The text in the description suggests they built only 14 of them. At its age, the A-4 is probably original. Boatswain's Locker was the Atomic 4 distributor in the 70's, located 5 minutes away.
