Page 10 describes the price of expert sailor as "+50 gp", assumably as bonus to base price. On the other hand, Sea Mare description on page 31 lists the cost of 6 normal unseen servants + 2 experts as 1300 gp, which seems to suggest that expert unseen sailor costs 500 gp. Which version would be more balanced?
Personally, I think that 50 gp is a bit low for unseen servant crew (this is the same as the price for normal unseen servant ritual; making it permanent should add to the cost, shouldn't it?), so I'm inclined to rule that basic unseen servant costs 100 gp and adding "Expert Sailor" feat raises the price, say, fourfold (one "normal" monster is 4 minions worth in 4ed, expert and normal sailors are comparable in this aspect)
P.S.: not sure which topic prefix would be better, Zeitgeist or EN publishing in general
