Why have I been hiding lately?

[John R]

Jon - that's why they will be sold - all I need is a single anyway...

What marina will you call home? RIRED - My driveway [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ... I may have uncovered a deal at a local Warwick Cove / EG Bay marina but unless the deal happens, it's getting trailered. Besides, I'm going to want to run it over to Fishers out of the Pawcatuck, Cutty from Dartmouth, Block from PJ and Boston harbor with te live macs so the trailer will be good too,,,

Congratulations!!!! I remember seeing that boat on-line and even calling about it before I found mine. The man said it was sold when I called the first time so I left it at that. It looks to be in great shape. I just dropped my 75' 23cc of at a T-Top builder this afternoon. It's getting a nice top with outriggers. The fun just starts when the boat gets home. Everyday I find more that I would like to do. Congratulations again.... patience pays off.

Congrats John...it's all about patience as you well know. Must have some insane fuel capacity running those hogs. If you're going single, you might be able to pick up substantial storage(maybe a livewell)

You gonna keep the bow rail?

Isn't tomorrow the first day of spring...ummmm time to forget about the snow and look forward to ploppin' it in the drink.

I'm wound up tighter than an idiot with wrist watch.

Hey John-

Congratulations! That's great news.....I bet you're glad that you didn't have to go down there and haul her home to Rhody.

I think you should call her "PATIENCE"

John,
Congratulations! I guess having my fingers crossed for you the past few weeks helped [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] . You made the right decision - smoking vs. SeaCraft.

What's the deal with the California registration on the boat?

Hey John!!!!

Don't tell me, don't tell me!!!!

That boat was bought from a place in Cape Coral wasn't it??? As soon as I saw it i remembered it was the boat I was looking at when I almost drove off of the roadway and into a tree. Sweet looking rig! Very Nice!

That is the boat I saw isn't it?????

Hoop - that's the boat! Fedexed the check today - scheduled to be loaded on hauler Tuesday and in New England by late week [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ...

Scott - I give you the details later but the short version was that this boat was for sale in Cali back in June for 20K. A few weeks after seeing it for sale on BT, one of my weird web searches showed this boat for sale in Cali for 20K with the guy pleading for someone to buy it before he moved to FL. "Supposedly" this boat was used 90% on Lake Tahoe and "rarely" seen salt... Well, the guy didn't sell it for 20K, shipped it to FL, sold it to the guy I'm buying from who did not have it surveyed - it needed some structural work and went into a good local shop to get fixed (the work was done very well) but the other work needed was still more than the current owner wants to do. So that's how I got it. I was VERY interested in this boat the 1st time around and honestly, this is probably too early for me too but I don't want to miss it.... The asking price was 16800 and I got it for well less than that..

For a couple reasons I need to keep this off my other site for now due to some other stuff going on but I wanted to share this with the guys here at CS...
