My
28 is ideal for me as she is large enough to do a lot of things but
small enough for me to easily single-hand which I do a lot. The
older
I get, the happier I am to not have a larger boat. This past 6
months
is the first time I have ever had her in a marina ( I kept her at
pvt
docks for years) and I have noticed what I have heard about for
years,
"A boats use is inversely proportional to her length". Do others
here
have a simialr experience of realizing they do not want a bigger
boat?
I go through the 'bigger boat' desires every year. After a while I
convince myself
that the 21'er I've got does what I want to do just fine.

But, if Harry were to make me a super deal on that Parker, I'd give
it
serious
thought.


There's a boat similar to mine on Boat Trader for $69,000. It has a
lesser
engine, a lesser trailer, but has radar. Might be an "equivalent."
Assume
for the moment it is. What's your best offer?
There's an '02 on thehulltruth.com for $53,500:

That one sounds like a pretty good deal. Look at all the electronics
included!
Thanks, NOYB.

This thread obviously shows that you would be getting a raw deal on
Krause's boat.

It is obvious that you should walk away from this *deal*, especially with
a seller reluctant to give even basic information about the boat (engine
hours).


Hehehe. I'm sure you, Smithers, and the rest of my "fans" here would love
to put the hex on any such deal.

John knows how to contact me. If he's a serious buyer he will. My
reluctance is to do business *here* among the drooling idiots like you,
Skipper, Smithers, Fritz, et cetera.


Hey, if you don't know how to properly negotiate a deal or properly price a
boat that is your problem Harry.

I can see the spittle forming at the corners of you mouth when you reply to
me. After all, I proved you wrong about the boat weight and the total
weight of a 5.7L engine with Bravo II outdrive.

But that's OK Harry. You will get over it.
