Either side of 1983

The rest of the run on the same scale, in today's asking prices. The bar is each year's middle half (from ten boats), the tick its median (from five). Years with a page of their own are linked.

We don't carry this boat forward yet: the Pearson 303 has no published depreciation curve. A curve needs 20 boats across 6 build years; we have 17 boats across 5 build years.
