    Hello folks.

        I was wondering if some people would have some suggestions and comments
    about a boat I am considering buying. First of all...info on me. I am
    looking for a totally fun fast boat for learning with. Dual trap (done the
    505 thing...got bored), Asym, etc. The I-14 looked perfect. Plus I have a
    friend on the Chesapeake bay that races often with them, so he would be a
    good resource. I am not looking for hard core racing, so having a
    "competitive" boat is not necessary at all. Plus the budget is very low as
    I just bought a new Lighting. I sail in an area that is dominated by Stars
    and Lightings, no skiffs, yet is the perfect place for them...flat water all
    the time! Anyway...looking basiclly for a boat I can beat up, sail fast,
    have fun with, and most importantly learn on.

        Anyway, there is a local boat for sale with the right "stuff". It is an
    Ames II design that I saw on the web page. I suppose this is a pre 1996
    rules boat?

        Basiclly I am looking for comments on the boat, what to look for, etc.
    I looked over the buyer's guide and some past e-mails, but would like more
    specifics if possible.
