Not the chrysler 22 I got but this is an older 30' ? (or bigger)wooden
fixed keel that one of my customers has or her husband was working on
before he died.

If someone here was interested I could get pictures soon and I
believe it can be gotten cheap do to the fact it looks like it would
be hard to move from central NC.

Where in NC? I'm in Charlotte.


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.

Just a casual warning to all the folks on this forum: I'd think long
and hard before doing business with the original poster. His name is
Mario Gavazzi and he operates what I am laughingly going to call a
"business" in Burlington, North Carolina. He has defrauded multiple
people in the air-cooled Volkswagen world and has been banned from
several web sites for fraud.

You can meet him here - this is a clip from a television news
investigation that was done on him. There's actual footage of Mario
the

Well, you folks are adults and can reach your own conclusions, but I
wanted to give you fair warning. Mario and his wife Sherry have
cheated a large number of very nice people, and I'd hate to see you
all added to the list.

Thanks.

He has left quite an Internet trail hasn't he? It makes you wonder if the
business about sailing the incredible shrinking boat off into the sunset
with no ocean experience whatever is just a shill to built up credibilty to
foist the other one off on someone.

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 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.
