If this were the real Skipper, one would have to ask the following
question:

"Were you a lying sack of crap in 2001, or are you a lying sack of crap
now?"

Well, put that way, I'd have to say I was a lying sack of crap then if I
defended your business ethics. And I did defend you from several who
found your personal ethics wanting. Suppose that is one reason I was so
disappointed when I reviewed the NG archives to see what I'd missed
during my absence and read that string of back stabbing diatribes you
leveled at me AFTER I was no longer participating in the NG.

It's going to be very interesting to see if you maintain the same mantra
the next time we meet in person.

BTW, the Anacortes broker, his business, and the Sea Raven all
disappeared about the same time they stalled my offer. I wouldn't doubt
the broker bought the boat at my price when the owner accepted. I do
know that boat is now detailed as a plan at www.kastenmarine.com as the
53' Second Star. They don't say it, but it's too much of a coincidence
not to have been inspired by the Raven.
