I know you are having mixed emotions Danny...

All things have a way of turning out for the better
in the long run....

Your pal, Ken

how fast does she run with the twins, and i am sure you have to keep the plugs in when you are at rest fishing?

Thanks Ken. I'm with you on that one.

Hey Danny-

I sold my 23 a few years ago with mixed emotions as well...sometimes you just do what you feel is right at the time. There's lots of boats out there. Maybe the next one you get will have that diesel you were looking for. Good luck with everything.

Thanks Strick. I agree with you on the fact that there are plenty of boats out there. My oldest son is almost 13 (he was 4 when I joined CSC) I only have a few years to get my kids totally hooked on boating.

The boat has been up to 60. The motors were at around 5400-5500rpm. There is no water on the deck by the scuppers at rest or when I am out. I don't recall water back there ever.

Danny,
Don`t you think the price is about 3k too low even in this market? You always had a soft spot for the 18`s and the squids could enjoy it.

Would you like us to keep an eye out?

Cheers,
Sandy

Danny - if you don't get 'em hooked before they're teenagers and discover girls, it may be too late!

Yes, that is very true Denny. I'm ready to get back in the saddle for our Gatherings and bring the kids along on our camping trips.
Sandy-Yep I have a low price on this boat. Even if it was apart the motors are 3-4K min., hull and trailer is 3-4k plus the bracket and jack plates are at least another grand. The boat deserves the work I can't do right now. Also, thanks for keeping a look out for any 18's or 20's that appear useable.

Danny, remember my post from a couple of years ago about the Keys and my juvenile delinquents at the time...
Torture them NOW... Sooo when they grow up, they say,
Gee Dad, the Keys were GREAT can we go with you now!!!!

Keep in mind they are now 33, 29, & 27 years old!!

Each and everyone of them and their significant others all
enjoy the boating, fishing & diving life style.......
I'm closer with my son-in-law then he was ever with his
dad.. To bad he was a golfing slug!

Priceless from my stand point.

See ya, Ken
