It is really not all that complicated. New York, being an "equitable
distribution" state divides property as follows:

http://www.nydivorceonline.com/nypag...debt%20div.asp

"How property and debts are divided when you get divorced.

If parties agree on all aspects of the divorce, this may include
property division. In cases of fault-based divorce, the judge in New
York will apply the traditional rules of "equitable distribution".

This means that the judge can do whatever he or she thinks is fair.
However, there are broad guidelines relating to the property division.
In marriages of long duration property acquired during the marriage is
generally divided on a 50/50 basis. The ratio would be different for
shorter marriages. The court also considers which party contributed
more assets to the marriage."


Seems fair, I suppose. Without knowing the specifics but based on
your statements that your credit sucks and Suzzy has great credit, it
seems unlikely that the Judge would consider you anything more than a
deadbeat mooch and would award the paltry assets to the victim of this
sham marriage, i.e. Suzzy.

I guess your "tax profile", i.e. penniless debtor, would then
accurately describe your situation in the absence of the Suzzy's
skirts to hide behind from your many unpaid creditors. Who knows?
Without your dead weight in this relationship Suzzy may well afford an
even nicer boat as you comb the ads in Soundings for some abandoned
Buccaneer or boat of similar pedigree.

Sad, really. You really should consider moving to a community
property state as the "equitable" distribution of assets in New York
based on relative contributions is going to screw you big time.

Our wills say otherwise. My friend's wife sold his plane and he won it back in
court dispite that it was in her name. Are planes somehow different? How about
homes?
You simply don't know marriage law. You own NOTHING on your own if you bought
it while married.
I'm about to buy a classic car and it will also be in her name. It'll be ours.
You seem to have a very strange idea about yours/hers in a marriage. We just
don't think like you do.
Sorry about your situation. And I mean that.

Suzzy has no income. I'm the only one with income and I'm paying for her
nursing school degree in whole.
I doubt a judge would see it her way.

But you had a nice troll going!

RB

What is the other one called? Where can I buy it?

Shot, a feature film on Hi def video will be entering the festival circuit at
the end of August. I produced the low budget feature and payed a 3rd of it.

You can find it in the special section in the back of your video store. You
have to be 18 to rent it.

Why is 8 tons wrong? And the CG doesn't list the draft at all - it doesn't figure in.
Its possible your boat was hand measured, but I doubt it was the CG fault if there was a
discrepancy.

BTW, my cat, which weighs less than your C&C, measures at 22 tons.

Draft and LOA is wrong as well!

Dopey coast guard!

LOA = 31.6 CG says 31.4 Wrong!
Draft = 5.8 CG says 5.0 Wrong!
Beam = Correct

RB

Perhaps it was dropped?

Hmmmmm....My keel is compressed? I thought it fell off for 30 degree heeling in
8 knots!

RB

The CG doesn't list draft anywhere. Where are you reading that?

And it isn't the CG fault; its the responsibility of the first person to document. In my
case, the numbers were supplied in the builder's certificate, but I don't know how it was
done originally for your boat.

It was done by the original owner. I can't update until next July. I guess
until then I can enjoy a bit less draft.

RB

Look at your certificate again, booby. It doesn't list the draft at all.

Jeff, it lists the following specs:

Gross Tonnage-8 GRT, Net Tonnage-7NRT, Length-31.4, Breadth-10.3, Depth-5.0
The depth is listed in the upper right of the certificate. It's in front of me
as I write.
