As I have told you before, "Reggie," since you have no obvious
expertise, no stated profession, no boat that anyone has seen, and no
real name, I consider your opinions worthless.
Well if you are going to turn every discussion into personal insults it
really does limit your ability to have a discussion when you have a
difference of opinion.

Since I have no expertise in any subject, you really should be able to
do a good job debating, but you gave up as soon as someone disagreed
with you. All in all, your disagreement did stir up some boating and
boating mag. discussion.
Why would I want to "debate" someone with no expertise, no stated
profession, no boat that anyone has seen, and no real name?

I didn't "give up" debating you, "Reggie." I didn't play.
Speaking of 'never seen boats'...Harry, you mentioned being interested in
another boat. Are you considering the sale of the Parker and the 36'er, or
only one of them?

Yes.
Well, keep us posted. I may be interested once you've settled on a price.
Oh, that's for the Parker, not the big one.

Email me an tentative, non-binding offer, and I'll let you know what I
think. If I "list" it, I'll list it high, of course, and see what comes up.
I'd rather wait and let more depreciation kick in. Also, I'm still in the
thinking stage, as you said you were. Plus, I've got another boat to get
rid of first!

You'd be amazed at how little my Parker has depreciated. Absolutely
amazed. I can still get 90-95% of what I paid.

I know. I've seen the prices of the new ones! I wonder how they're selling
this year. I still like that 22' Grady with the 'Grady Transom'. My wife
retires next year, so we thinking of moving out of the DC area shortly
thereafter. We've not yet decided where to go, and that decision will
influence whether or not I buy another boat and what kind of boat
(especially size-wise) that I buy.

I was wondering how they were selling, too, so I asked my salesguy, and
he told me they're ahead of last year. He could be b.s.'ing me, but I
don't think so. He has no reason to do so.

A new Parker equipped like mine is about $80,000 now. I love it.

You can't go wrong with that Grady, either.

A friend of mine who retired a few years ago moved to the Northern Neck
of Virginia and says he and his wife like it "just fine." He lives
somewhere near Reedville.

The northern neck is definitely on the list of possibles, but the middle
neck is currently a little higher. Mathews, VA, has been mentioned as a
nice place. I'm going to take a motorcycle ride down through there in a few
weeks and just scout the whole area.
