: We we get right down to it, some of us prefer old boats and some perfer new boats and I'm not willing to change. I like boats that can survive a game of "chicken"! That's my rant. MMC I took a Brunswick bowling pin that spent 20 years in a Brunswick bowling pinsetter to a boat show. There was some bigshot Brunswick suit all decked out, looking far out of place, on the dock. I handed him my bowling pin and asked, "Why can't a company that can product this pin that looks almost new after 20 years of being beaten to hell every night, make a boat that isn't destroyed when it bumps into a dock, like an eggshell?" The look on his face?--------PRICELESS....(C; Well worth the price of admission to the dog and pony show.... Don't forget....When you go to a big boatshow, always come in the clothes you mow the lawn in. After my friend Dan sold his Hatteras 56 FBMY, he wanted a small boat for fooling around the harbor. I told him to wear the lawn mowing clothes. He did to humor me. We got a Grady White with a 150 Yamaha from a nice young man who was the only boat shoe on the floor who'd give us the time of day. It was only around $32K, nicely decked out. "Check OK?", I asked. About that time some wheel showed up to try to steal the commission away from him, but I informed him we'd deal with noone but this kid...who was in, at that moment, shock. Total sale time, nearly 2 minutes! Nice kid. I've seen him at the dealership a few times since and he still remembers to be nice to guys in blue jeans and an old t-shirt with dirty sneakers..(c; |
