Shall we post pix of both boats and let the group voice their opinions?
Why are you stiff arming the comparison of those two boats? You know it
was a legit question.


Post away. I'll leave it up to you to provide the pictures, as you
claim to be able to do so and I frankly have no idea about what boat
you might be referring to as "parked in a junk yard".


Faulty memory again, eh? So you had a lot of single engined trawlers
built by retired Alaska fishermen berthed at Adventure that were later
taken to the owners junk yard while still listed? Hard to keep track of
all those I'd bet. Do you remember telling the owner that he'd have a
harder time selling if he took the boat back to his junk yard?

You have to remember that your visit up here was one of the highlights
of your life, not mine. Yes, I do remember a boat that left the
brokerage dock to go down to a commercial dock in Tacoma. The owner of
the boat ran a huge scrap metal business, (not a "junkyard") and the
boat was moored at his own private commercial dock, not "parked in a
junkyard". And yeah, it is certainly a lot tougher to sell a yacht in
an "industrial" environment. After all these years, however, I'm not
sure I clearly remember the details of the boat. Where are the pics you
promised? Down thread maybe? I'll keep looking.
