2 days, 2 sales.
Sold two boats in 2 days. Beats my record of selling the Navigator and the Grand Banks within 2 weeks of each other. The 40 footer is under agreement subject to survey and sea trial. Should be gone by the end of this month. It's a decent boat, but I never really "bonded" to it. Not really my style. Today I sold the little 17' SailFish CC that I had "sold" to my older son's father-in-law about 10 years ago. He's been using it on a lake in NH, but has no more interest, so he gave it back to me. It's a great little boat. Very stable. I half considered keeping it and repowering it, but I doubt I'd use it much. I am not into trailering boats around anymore. So, now the search begins anew. Can't be boatless, but am going to take my time and decide what I really want and then look around for a decent one. Right now I am inclined towards a smaller boat .... somewhere around 29-30 foot, but I also have an itch for another trawler type. I am sorta kicking myself for selling the Grand Banks. It was a fun boat. I was talking to the broker at Kingman Yacht Center this morning. He said that boat buying activity has really started picking up recently. Sign of a recovery? Hope so. Eisboch |

Eisboch I will be real disappointed if you don't have a boat by the time I get there. Might be bringing a car with me instead of the bike. The bride is getting tired of the bike. You know the song "Happy Wife Happy Life" Please don't mention dates on line. I need to keep the pirates off guard. |

Eisboch Not even a Porche? Did you ever get in touch with the VW collector in Oregon? My older son has the Porsche now. He wouldn't stop drooling over it, so I gave it to him. I don't remember the VW guy in Oregon. The bus I have flunked inspection last fall because it needs new tie-rods and bushings in the front end. The guy I go to is usually pretty forgiving about some things, but I have to agree with him, when he jacked it up and wiggled the front tires around it scared the crap out of me. I drove it home with the big "R" sticker in the window and stuck it in the garage for the winter. Yesterday I went down to a foreign car repair shop not far from me and they said they could fix it up for me. So, Monday I will drive it down there for repairs. The bus is a blast. 65 mph wide open. About 5 feet in first gear, another 20 feet in second, then it's home to the races in third and forth. Eisboch |
