I see not much has happened differently in rec.boats since I left Fri
to head for Kansas. We just got back last night and to tired to head
for the lake today.

Looks like a few people might have actually gone boating this weekend.
It will be interesting to hear the stories. :-)

We got back last night. It was an interesting day on the bay on Saturday
(really warm weather!)... interesting boat also. The guy currently owns a
Sabre 36 (not sure what year). He also bought a Sabre 426 (it's 2005/2006 I
think) on the East Coast, but his plans have changed and wants to stay with
the 36. He's asking a bit more than we originally planned, but I think he'd
take close to our original max (about $300K). Anyway, we took a nice long
sail on the 36. Here's a pic of me having a great time (yes, I have a
hair-color change for those who saw the previous pic and yes, I'm sound
asleep).

Apparently, when you have something over 39', there are a bunch more Coast
Guard requirements (equipment/regs?), so we would need to factor in if we
want that additional hassle. Also, we would either need to get it here or
sail from there, so that's a decision factor also. Of course, no decisions
have been made other than to request more information. Hey, I got to steer
the boat for about 1/2 hour. Prepare to tack! Arggg.... Cool... _then_ I
took a nap.
