NO FREAKIN' WAY!!!!

That is one god ugly boat. They look nice in photos, but up close and
personal, uu guh lee...

The broker, a wise and older gentleman, knew it the minute we rounded
the corner of the yard and saw the boat on the hard. I must have been
kind of obvious about it. :)

However, in the true tradition of not ruining his day, I took the tour
and listened to the spiel. At the end, I told him that this wasn't my
style and I apologized for taking up his time to which he replied that
he didn't have anything else to do that day anyway. :)

On the plus side, we have a couple of other boats to look at including
a Hatteras and a Viking - perhaps this week, more likely next.

So the research into cruising vessels continues. So far, the Hinckley
has it all over the other boats I've viewed ten times over.

Have you looked at the Monk yet?
