I haven't a clue Katy, but the designer/builder and owner of the Hake
company is flying to Mexico Beach on Monday to meet me there. Please keep
all fingers crossed! The boat I'm looking at now is in the Gulf, and has all
the options I wanted in the first boat. It's a bit more money, but
definitely worth every penny. At first I thought I was going to have to
drive from Mexico Beach to Stuart Fl, but I've just been informed that all
the work they were going to do is already done! Woohoo! The inverter, high
output alternator, and SS hot water heater were all part of the original
purchase. It couldn't get any better!
I'll keep you posted.

Is that where it is? Darn, I would have liked to have looked at it.
I was there three weeks ago. Spend a couple of weeks a year in
Mexico Beach. Going back in October. Great place.

When I bought my boat, the sellers' broker was very
knowledgeable and helpful to me. He answered all my
questions about taxes, registration, etc. , and provided the
necessary forms.

Let me know if you want his name, Scout. He's in Georgetown
MD.

Yes, so long as the broker is really a pro and knows how
to
do things properly. Remember, 50% of all people are below
average intelligence, and 50% of all brokers are below
average in professional knowledge & conduct. For example,
I
have only ever talked to one broker in my life who could
clearly and accurately explain the tax obligations of
buying
a boat in our state. All the others merely hand out blithe
reassurassances which eventually land the buyer in tax
trouble. You wonder how these guys get by.

By any vhancr is that the Hake's formerly of Whitehall, MI?

Actually at Port St Joe Marina. I'll be there bright and early Monday morn.
More likely - Sunday night.

Went by there when I was down. Walked the piers. Seaward must have
been out, didn't see it.

But now I'm fairly sure it must have been the one I saw sailing up to
the point on Cape San Blas.

At any rate, have a good trip, hope it works out.

Thanks Frank.
I'm hoping this is the one too. I'm also hoping she didn't suffer any real
damage during the storms last year. Time will tell.
