Yes Alex, it is an old post but refreshing to see it amongst endless political muck...



The poster or the boat or both probably are dead by now.

But it's good reading a boating post. A lot can be learned from reviving old posts.

Indeed. I learned "never to buy" a 1987 Bayliner Capri.

I don't know but I wouldn't say they're dead...yet, my Chris craft is an '83 and the marquis is a '77. I'm redoing the interior on the Marquis at the moment, but the Chris just got a good workout this past weekend.

Viva!

Different strokes...three to five years, and I'm itchy for a new boat.

A smaller boat I was on recently seemed really nice to us:

Let us know when the IRS gives you approval to buy. BTW, it's a flat
water, short range boat.

And a floating RV. There is no style to that barge.

Mere pups. My Harris is from 1974.
I am looking at having a new one built but the guy I want to build it
is in Ohio and getting it here is a trick. I have a buddy in Ohio and
I may incorporate this into a road trip.
I rebuilt this boat in 1990 and I still do not see any production
boats that are built as well. Fire and Marine in Ohio builds
commercial stuff and they will build me anything I want.
In the end, it's cheaper than getting a Bennington or some other
premium brand. I am not really interested in all of that furniture and
they will not give you much of a discount if you delete it.

Have it lashed atop a freighter coming down the Ohio river to New Orleans.
Acquaintance did that when he bought a 32' aluminum Cat in Australia. Tied
to the top of a container ship going to San Pedro.

Greg what's wrong with your Harris? I thought you were a 'if it works, don't fix it' kinda guy?

Now I understand, Greg. Would it be worth installing a third, single tube in the center? "Tri-toon?" style instead of going with a whole different rig?
