I wish I could Frank but this unplanned time off work couldn't happen at a
worse time. I'm taking a few days to get this done but I'm gonna have to pay
for it later! I can always go back later. If we do another Katrina trip to
Long Beach, Miss, maybe I'll pull the boat along!

Scotty, take a pill. I wanted to hear what Scout had found and he
honestly told us. Please don't turn every thread into a troll.

Scout, if you really like the boat, don't give up. I will add this
though: The response you got from Seaward is so awful and dumb, I'd
send it back to them and let them know you'd NEVER buy a new boat from
them. They should offer SOME support for thier boats no matter who the
owner is. When I bought the Beneteau they were very helpful in giving
me specs, part info and some history on my exact hull #.
Good luck...I hope it works out.

Rob,
They (Hake) actually came through for me (maybe). I heard from them on
the boat Frank has been mentioning in the Florida Panhandle. We need to
work out some details (such as adding HD batteries and an inverter for
AC at anchor). It actually looks like a better boat and Hake is doing
the inspection on it (former owner trading it in for the 32). Maybe I
got lucky this time.
And the rep from Hake took the time to let me know "we do have the
title for the boat" - woohoooo!
I'll keep you all posted. If this works out, I'll be in Florida as soon
as Hake is finished the work. Maybe I'll be sailing by October!

Hey, great, hope it works out. My advice, take some time off and sail
the Panhandle area while you are down there before you drag it home.
Beautiful area and October is a great time to sail down there although
you will hit some days with very light winds.
