The kids, when presented with the option of taking over the full cost of
storage and getting a boat, have decided they don't want the boat. I can't
blame them. This past summer they've been out only a handful of times. At
$3000/year (roughly) for storage and maintenance, that makes the use of a
boat pretty expensive.

So, the 21' Proline 211, walkaround cuddy, with a Mercruiser 5.7L and
Alpha 1 outdrive will be sold or traded in. The engine has somewhere in
the neighborhood of 500 hours thereon. Not sure exactly, 'cause I've not
used it in the past couple months, although the kids have.

If there's any interest here, let me know!

The marina also sells Key West boats, so the ProLine might get traded in
on
one. It's not a Scout, but he Key West is quite similar, with mostly the
same amenities. I'm thinking of this one:

overhead shot.

Alas, an open transom isn't even on the list of options.

Looks like we have something in common. We're both boatless. For me, it's
the first time in about 10 years.
A local guy was scouting out a couple of Sandpiper 565s in Quebec and
Michigan... but wanted to see an example up close before the long road trip.
After my Rendezvous, and when it was painfully obvious the wife wasn't about
to become excited with the prospect of sailing on a semi-regular basis, I
decided to offer my boat to this local guy. He was happy to get a newer
boat and save himself the long voyage to pick up one from the wild interior
of the country.
Sure seems lonely out there in the driveway without a boat to look at.
Hopefully I'll have a nice little open boat parked there before too long.
So long 'Pipe Down'...I hope you spend a lot more time in the water in the
coming years than you have in the past four summers.

Anyone looking for a sweet family boat might like this slightly used Grady
over at Tri-State:

Boat looks brand new.

Now there's a boat you might coax a lady to go out in.

The wife would probably like that boat. I don't trust her though. I'd have
to be sure she'd be spending a lot of time on it before I could justify that
expense on a 'working class hero' pension.
On the other hand it would be a good incentive for her to keep working for
the next few years. :-)
