I also think he went on ad
nausea regarding found treasures aboard which he later admitted were also
fabrications.


Could your memory be that bad. Her insane list of gear was indeed true. Some of
it I kept, some I sold, some I gave away. It was a real windfall....new
outboard, spare folding new prop, spare new radios, spare autopilot, and an
amazing assortment of never used blocks and lines, new clothes. How about a 500
dollar full body sailing suit that fit Suzanne like a glove? How about a 1000
dollar Musto suit XXL for me with the tags still on it. Yup. It was Xmas for a
long time as we dug through her bags of gear. Now add all of that and much more
to a good C&C 32 that surveyed excellent and "above average condition" with a
hull value of 36K currently and I paid less than 16K. I spent under 1K
replacing her ports, and doing a lot of cleanup....it was fun and so is the
boat, which continues to drive Scotty up the wall.
But you, Mooron, are above such petty jealousy because you own a good boat
already. You could teach Scotty a thing or two even if it's too late for
Locofish.
