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.

I've undertaken a few dozen treks to Emerald City over the last few
years. You'll have to refresh my memory as which one was the highlight
of my life.

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.

You remember the details all too well. Why not that boat for you? Too
salty for your tastes? It's four times the boat any Sundowner is.
