Proving that the first jerk who offered you a fraction of its value
was the major loser.

May be seller's karma- but just after you decided that you didn't
really care if you sold it at all and thought you might keep it you
wound up getting your full asking price.

In any negotiation, the party that prevails will be the one *least*
emotionally involved.

So you're going to replace this with?....
At this point nothing because I've got to have my hip replaced this
fall, so no sail boats until after that gets done. At that point,
we'll see - maybe something like Don's Sandpiper or just a simple easy
to use, throw it in the water type of boat like a Laser or Zuma.

Actually, I'm thinking of buying another Contender and just get the
whole damn fleet down to one. Trailerable of course.

This time, no bunks - rollers.

Good plan .. A Sandpiper 565 or a Catalina 18 are a great size for day
sails and occasional weekenders. Just big enough to have a place to
sleep and a pump out head if you plan on taking the wife along.
You can always go ashore and stay a night at a hotel on occasion.

If you planned on sailing singlehanded on fine afternoons in protected
waters, a smaller open boat might do the trick.
example CL16, Hunter 17 etc.
Older guys like us may not appreciate those flat lasers for more than a
few hours at a time.

Great little sailboat, especially for a klutz like Tom, who still has not
figured out he wants to buy my Parker.

A buddy here took his CL16 on a 150nm journey along Nova Scotia's
coast...from Halifax to the Canso Causeway.
Didn't use his little honda 2hp once.

scroll down to Robert Dunbar's log under the 'Maritimes' heading.
The Wayfarer people were kind enough to let him post his log there.

Shouldn't that be Ya, Ma, Ha? :)

They make good guitars and keyboards.

Outboards?

Stick to making guitars. :)

I was just down shooting the breeze with a guy who sells Yellowfins. He has
one of these in a slip beside Mrs.E's GB and I checked it out ... it's
something I think you would like. The one here has the engine mounted on a
jackplate. Impressive engine too. 275 horses, supercharged and very quiet.
He told me I can try it out whenever I get the itch. Not my kind of boat
though.

Hmmmm...

What would it take for you to take it out with me along for the ride?
So to speak. :)

I am sure a demo ride can be arranged for you. As for me, I have zero
interest in buzzing around Buzzard's Bay at 65 mph in a 24' boat with
gunnels 18" above the water.

Just think of it as a Porsche on a test run. Think about it - it's
has a big engine, handles well and is really fast.

Only it's a boat.

On water.
