Guess which marina?
 


"''One of my discoveries,'' Mr. Crimmins said, ''is that boat owners in
this area spend more time aboard their boats at the dock than they do
aboard their boats out on the water, so they want pleasant facilities
near at hand ashore.''

Funny you should mention that. The other day I was out on the lake. There is
a largish marina, about 1/3 to 1/2 full of sailboats. Yet I never see more
than 4 sailboats out on the lake at any time. I went into the marina to get
a nice close at the boats and there were a good number of sailboats 30+ feet
long. Pacific Seacrafts, Hunters, Benetaus, Catalinas, Hans Christians, etc,
etc. Remember this is a lake. I noticed that the larger boats had their
owners aboard, all sitting and talking to each other across the dock. I even
saw a few swimming off of the swim platforms of their boats -while tied to
the dock! BBQ's on the dock, electricity, storage boxes, running water,
lights and a convenience store! The whole thing was some sort of
sub-culture, a type of social affair. The people were soft. The dock
princesses were a bit too plump, the men had guts and wore their socks
pulled all the way up.

Could be any marina of course. Our marina actually closed it's club
house for good because most owners prefered to be aboard and are
usually off sailing or fishing. The club was a loss for that. But go to
Capri and see the huge sailboats that rarely go anywhere.

Then again, what kind of of fella is really worried if someone prefers
sitting on ther boat at the dock? It's their boat. We sail often, but I
don't get upset at the C&C 34XL that only races once a week for a
single evening. His boat. He's happy.

Well, it's the Minneford Marina on City Island, the one Bob claims to be
in such good standing with, yet he didn't recognize the name of the

After reading the article, isn't it strange that RB is selling slips at 1/2
price on Craigslist when doctors and lawyers are paying through the nose for
them?

His asking prices were much, much lower than those quoted in the article -
at the same marina!

Now, if it were such a deal, wouldn't it have sold very fast? Why did he
have to keep advertising on Craigslist?

hmmm?


The non-existent 35s5?

Brokering old, abandoned junker boats?

The non existent Kia?

The non-existent real estate?

The claims of riches?

The sale of used pencils and old cables on eBay?

Was he really selling those slips or is it all just some fabrication?

Gardener Ketch and is currently building a new marina overseas. His
ketch, Raffles Lite, is one of two teak 67 footers.

TWENTY YEARS AGO:
"Yet the reason for buying expressed by Peter Simone, who owns a slip at the
Minneford Marina on City Island, is somewhat different. ''I bought the slip
for investment purposes for the same reason that one might buy a condominium
apartment,'' said Mr. Simone, who is in the bakery business in Yonkers.
''Early this year I paid $32,000 for a slip for my 24-foot cabin cruiser.
Since then, the price for an identical slip has risen to $44,000. Plus I
enjoy the use of my boat.'' Even Artemis C. Crimmins Jr., the developer of
the Minneford Marina, said he was surprised at the rise in value of the
slips. At his marina, the slips are sold on a cooperative share basis,
although offerings are being made through condominium plans and 99-year
leaseholds elsewhere in the country. "

Not at all surprising. The Times should be read for entertainment, not for

Twenty years ago a slip "went" for $40,000. Today, RB is selling them for
$14,000 (bigger slip, same marina).

So using the time value of money, the slip really sold for $1700 back then?

Obviously someone is lying.

I know the marina. Hauled my boat there winter before last. I wouldn't pay
anywhere near $40,000 for the privilege of paying more money annually to
keep a boat there.

From the pictures it looks cheap with crowded pencil thin piers.
The place has gone so far downhill for the last 20 yrs the prices of
slips has followed.

Who want's to own a cess pool pier?


I've seen RB at the marina. I've seen his ads.

In this case and on this topic, yes, I'd say RB has greater credibility than

Not saying much. The Times is full of idiots and traitors willing to
get Americans killed to sell it's trash. Isn't M. Moore a roving
reporter for the NY Slimes?

Anyone who supports or buys a NY Times is paying to get American
killed.

My favorite section of the Times in page 2. That's where they tell you
about
the mistakes they made in the last edition, or at least the ones they have
to admit to. The corrections are hilarious. Today's said their front page
story yesterday "referred incorrectly" to the Israeli soldier that was
captured recently. The article had said he was the first to be captured.
The
correction said he was the fourth since 1990.

Note they never say they got it wrong--just that they "referred
incorrectly"
when they said one instead of four.

"Sorry, judge. I referred incorrectly to the light when I said it was
green.
It was red."


Hey, that tactic works so well for the Bush Administration, why
shouldn't the Times be allowed to use it too?

Every mistake Bush makes WRT Iraq gets blamed on "Bad Intelligence"

The only difference is that Bushco never voluntarily makes retractions
or corrections.

Marty, were you born an asshole, or just someone who worked at it your

sinkings, rates go up. Marinas like ours must be ready for countersuits

If he tied it up wrong and suffers damage, the insurance co. can still

I determine whether a boat is allowed into brokerage. I also do a
pre-survey so I can deal with outside surveyors after a deposit is left
on boats sold outside the program. We determine value like most other
brokers. We simply know the local market and communicate with other
brokers. Wanna know what a late 80's Tartan 34 sells for here? I know
the two boats that sold recently and we make notes in NADA on that.

Then we can include IEEE Biomedical Transactions, Nature, Science, JPS, etc.
Science is manly reading.


Besides the bird cage value, the NYT has good crossword puzzles.


And you can make pirate hats!

Look at what else fits into a pirate hat:

I put a tinfoil liner in mine!


I just wear a WWII German helmet!

In other words, the buyer has to pay for a second survey for
insurance? What a deal!


No comment? I guess ripping people off for a "non-insurance
survey" is part of how you got rich?

Tell us exactly how you determine a boat's value, Bubbles.
Inquiring minds want to know.

???

.... I also do a
pre-survey so I can deal with outside surveyors after a deposit is left
on boats sold outside the program. We determine value like most other
brokers. We simply know the local market and communicate with other
brokers. Wanna know what a late 80's Tartan 34 sells for here? I know
the two boats that sold recently and we make notes in NADA on that.
Simple stuff.


In other words, you don't do anything at all that a
half-diligent owner could do for himself.

That sounds interesting.

.... Nature


Seen this one, it's kind of popular-consumption fluff isn't it?


Science is manly reading.


What's JPS?

I happen to like Scientific American, they often have really
cool pictures.

That's rude.

Funny, but rude

Hah! I can beat that, I wear a WW1 German helmet with a
spike on the top!

(this one has a flat-tipped "safety spike", mine is
sharpened to a surgical edge)
