Kind of a funny story - We were on our way out on the launch one day last summer, and the launch driver was new.  I think he was a little embarrassed that he wasn't sure of our mooring location, so instead of asking me, he put a call out to the other launch on the VHF, asking for the location.  The response was "It's the one near daymark #2, that sort of looks like a big Victorian house, except it's a boat."

I guess the design is fairly unique!

OASIS is a Downeaster 32' made in 1979, hull #128.  She is in very good shape both inside &out (prior owners very nice to her),blue trim, typically protected by a lot of blue canvas.

 The 2010 survey found her value to be $40,000 although a nearby broker has mentioned several higher offers (verbally of course;$10-20k higher) which I am not entertaining:-D

At time of my purchase in 2010 the broker was listing her (includes goodwill for a very rare transferrable slip) at $59,000 then reduced to $54,900.  The goodwill value of the slip was ballparked between $8000 to $10,000 based on the 7- to 10-year wait time for slips in this harbor.  The slip is considered a premium as it is a city-owned marina with remarkably low fees and easy access to open ocean.  In 2010 there were (and still are) some private marinas further south in San Diego with open slips – likely due to economy – with Oceanside still maintaining a very long waiting list.  (Update for 2012:tax collector appraises slip somewhere around $9200 now;have to pay property tax on it.)
