Loco's Retirement!!!
 

Thanks to Scotty Potty, I have learned that Loco's long succesful
career and life has led up to a fine retirement yacht....The Express
30.
I'm not quite 43 and my mid range choice for the next 5 years (a
Beneteau 35s5) is about 100 times nicer than his Depressasaur 30! It's
also (as of Nov 19th) paid for in full. It's all rather sad that Loco's
lame posturing has come to this. He's stuck aboard a tired, ugly dated
racer. We have a beautiful 35s5 that's faster, roomier and more
versatile and it's still just a stepping stone!
Loco is a true loser in life...even more so because it ends with a
Depressed 30! Is that retirement or punishment?

DUH .......... is this guy slow or what? How many times over the
course of the last year and a half have I posted that I took an early
retirement deal? And he's just now getting the message?
As far as a "retirement yacht" goes I never thought of it that way.
I'm satisfied with my "yacht" Don't need a bigger one for what I do.
Now you may be interested in the fact I'm looking into a Flying Tiger
10 meter to continue my daysailing and racing. If I want to do any
"cruising" I'll just head for the BVIs or someplace and charter. By
the way I'll be down there in January while your improving your
boatyard skills. In the meantime I'll be hanging out at my country
estate and not in some 5th floor walkup. As far as your new ride, if
it is in fact a true story, that Beneteau is nothing more than a
european Hunter. And that's a fact!

Some people like to eat crap. Be happy!

Yeah? Weren't you also looking into a C&C 34R? Need to sell the one
good kidney!?

In case anyone thinks Loco knows boats...he just said that a First
series 35s5 is comparable to a HUNTER!!!

And that leaves us with one big BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's correct dude. They are sold as step up boats here while in
europe they are looked at as Hunters. It's sort of like BMWs great
marketing skills. They too are sold as step up cars here while in
europe they are as thick as Toyotas and they are used by police and
taxi companies.

What a twit. Boob, when will you realize that everybody is not
resigned to a life in a 5th floor walkup like you. My investments are
my lotto. I've been to the BVIs every year for the past 10.

Trying to get bob up to speed is like pushing a shopping cart in
the Indy 500.

So please tell us which Hunter has the speed and build quality of the
First 35s5, First 345 or 35s7 or even Donal's more recent model based
on your inspections of them. This should be interesting!
Hold on, folks! We're about to learn something!

(I'll get to BMW idiocy later. The guy bought a Lincoln. Nuff said.)

That is not a fact at all. It is a stupid statement.

It is true that both Beneteau and Hunter boats are designed for the mass
market. However, there is one significant difference between the two
manufacturers.

Hunter boats are designed by the "marketing Dept." for first time buyers.
Beneteaus are designed by by sailors.

Real sailors will find it easy to spot the difference between the two
manufacturers.

Here are a few differences:-

1) A Hunter will have a cabin, where a Beneteau will have an enormous
locker.
2) A Hunter will have a fixed cooker, whereas a Beneteau will have a
gimballed cooker.
3) A Hunter will have a nice clean "ceiling", when a Beneteau will have
grab rails that run the full length of the saloon.
4) A Hunter will have an enormous galley, whereas a Beneteau will have a
galley *and* a chart table.

Wow! One of the cheapest trips around! Everyone's really impressed!
We're going to Trinidad (our friend is launching her boat there after a
3 year restoration) in July and then Greece for our honeymoon, but then
travel is always cheap for anyone who's done better than you! Do you
know that my 4th floor apartment (sorry, there's elevator and doorman)
is worth more than your whole net worth? We own it in Forest Hills, but
don't live there anymore. You might want to check property values
there...Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro all live
here. Who lives in your niegbhorhood? Uncle Buck???
You've done well, Loco. A crappy Lincoln and still-born Depress 30.
Well done, old man!

Apartments of your type in your area go for $180,000 -220,000. I can post
the appraisers valuation from the NYC dept of Taxation if you like.

That's less than the median price of a home in the US.

That's almost 1/3 of the median price of a home in the NY metro area.

Face it, you own the least expensive housing in the NY area. The next step
down is a cardbox box under the supports of the Tri-Boro Bridge.

On top of that, you think living aboard a 50K$ smallish sailboat in a
crowded New York City marina is "lifestyle".

I think you are an ideal candidate for "Extreme Makevoer".
