We all occasionally wish for a larger boat but would we really
buy one
if we were able? I have decided "No", my 28' S2 is ideal for

larger boat would have more to go wrong and require more
expense. My
28 is ideal for me as she is large enough to do a lot of things
but
small enough for me to easily single-hand which I do a lot. The
older
I get, the happier I am to not have a larger boat. This past 6
months
is the first time I have ever had her in a marina ( I kept her
at pvt
docks for years) and I have noticed what I have heard about for
years,
"A boats use is inversely proportional to her length". Do
others here
have a simialr experience of realizing they do not want a bigger
boat?
I go through the 'bigger boat' desires every year. After a while
I convince myself
that the 21'er I've got does what I want to do just fine.

But, if Harry were to make me a super deal on that Parker, I'd
give it serious
thought.

There's a boat similar to mine on Boat Trader for $69,000. It has
a
lesser engine, a lesser trailer, but has radar. Might be an
"equivalent." Assume for the moment it is. What's your best offer?
I'd have to visit and talk to the folks at TriState. I wouldn't
want to give a number
without having made the decision to go for another boat, which
would be a big
decision for me (not like trading up from a D70 to a D200).

That *is* nice, and reasonably priced.
400+ engine hours.
Is that a lot for that Yamaha four stroke? How many are on yours?

A lot less.
Would you consider 400 hours a lot for that Yamaha 4-stroke?

A lot in terms of what, typical lifespan in hours? Depends. If they were
careful "Harry" hours, no. If they were 400 hours on the firewall, well,
yes, that would be a lot.

I'm not your typical outboarder, though. I watch the tach and the fuel
flow meter, not the speedometer.

So how many hours are on the engine?


Less than 400.

Why do you want to know? You're not a potential purchaser. It's not your
business.

A legitimate buyer will be allowed to see the service records.

So how many hours are on the engine?


I told you, if and when you become a serious purchaser, you can see the
service records. Otherwise, what difference does it make?

When you become a serious seller, let us know.
