I've posted the first installment of what I hope will be a "happy" tale
on the Pacific NW Boating site. The item does mention two companies
with which I am doing business, and due to that fact it would receive a
mixed reaction here. I have mentioned my boat project in the past, but
here are some additional details for anybody interested:

From an objective, impersonal, and probably financially rational

along to the next owner (for whatever we could realize) and start
afreshwith a new, or much newer vessel. In fact, we did a little
casual shopping at some of the recent boat shows

So, did you consider that trawler berthed at the junkyard by its owner
you said only needed a bit of cosmetic work? You once stated you were
considering buying her. She certainly was a much better boat than
Indulgence.

According to a guy who has never seen my boat, or the other boat he
refers to.

But then again, knowing the first thing about whatever sewage you are
loading into your poison pen has never been a prerequisite for posting
about sal****er adventures in a little Kansas-based runabout, has it,
Dave?

Shall we post pix of both boats and let the group voice their opinions?
Why are you stiff arming the comparison of those two boats? You know it
was a legit question.

Post away. I'll leave it up to you to provide the pictures, as you
claim to be able to do so and I frankly have no idea about what boat
you might be referring to as "parked in a junk yard".

I'm sure that the opinions from people who are prepared to judge a boat
based on nothing more than a photo will be interesting indeed. But at
least you will be discussing boats for a change- even if it's your
intention to do so in a disparaging fashion.

Faulty memory again, eh? So you had a lot of single engined trawlers
built by retired Alaska fishermen berthed at Adventure that were later
taken to the owners junk yard while still listed? Hard to keep track of
all those I'd bet. Do you remember telling the owner that he'd have a
harder time selling if he took the boat back to his junk yard?

FWIW, I liked your first post better.
