Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.

Truth is not beauty.

Sailing is THE BEST

The person I traded the boat for told me it was a 28 footer, but after
looking online and seeing pictures of others I determaned it was a 22
footer.

You are right I have no ocean experience with a sailboat this size and
is the reason I'm here getting info.

As far as the VW freaks I have been in business a long time and you
can't make everyone happy, These are people with sad lives that like
you don't car what the truth is, but want to bitch over nothing. most
are friends with a suplier that I refused to use after living with him
a month to restore a car and finding out it was just to punish his
father who also restored VW's for cheating on his dead mother. can you
say real wack job.

I apoligize for bringing the freaks with me but isn't that's whats
great about the net.

As far as my Sail boat don't we all have to start someplace.

and as far as the other sail boat I really am just tring to help this
woman out. her husband passed away at 57 and she will never beable to
do anything with it and could use the money.

sorry if that makes me a bad guy.

Well, I'm not going to pass judgment on whether you are a bad guy with the
information available. Even that copy of the legal judgment against you
that one of your former customers posted isn't 100% conclusive because
justice isn't always done. Sometimes hoofprints in the park actually are
from zebras that escaped from the zoo. However...

A 22 foot boat is actually about half the size of a 28 foot boat since the
true measure of most critical things in a boat is volume. So, you got half
the "price" for that engine you thought you did. I wonder it that lack of
care and diligence has something to do with the remarkable vehemence and
number of the "freaks", as you call them, that follow in your wake. Not my
concern or that of those here (unless they pursue buying that other boat)
but I would suggest that similar lack of diligence will get you killed at
sea.

I'd bet Oriental. That place seemed like some sort of graveyard for
old boats.

I don't believe Oriental is considered *central* NC.

Still, it's a lovely area, with a large community of ex-cruisers (and a
few who are between trips). It seems a quieter version of the
Chesapeake, with less salt.

We were at their dock for a day trying to do some minor work. Almost had
to anchor out to get the work done with the number of sailors coming by
to chew the fat.


I had a few tornado scares a few years ago sailing through there.

Well, the OP seems to be a rather sleazy fellow who is getting all weird
and coy now about the boat, it's location and even the size. I say we
got here some guy who would be excellent power for a sailboat - a huge
gust of hot air.
