Just when I thought life was simple again with no major decisions to be
made.... The broker just called. He has a written offer for the Navigator. Damit. Eisboch |

The client is a seasoned boater, very familiar with Navigators although he has not seen ours yet. They are sending the signed offer and contract up here as I type and, if agreeable, plan to visit this weekend for a survey and sea trial. If all goes ok, they want to take immediate delivery of the boat. I don't know what to think. Kingman just winterized it yesterday and I've got Christmas ---- oops --- *Holiday* lights strung on it. Guess I'll be heading down there tomorrow or Friday if I can shake this cold. Eisboch |

Guys fish in this weather all the time for winter flounder. You should move to NE Florida. This time of year, when we lived down there, I would fish for flounder under the docks at St. Augustine, or at the "corner" of Salt Run and St. Augustine Inlet. It was hard to come back without a cooler full of keepers. One really cold day (it was in the 50s), my wife caught two nine pounders under the docks at our favorite restaurant in St. Augustine. |

Very interesting guy who shared some common interest stories regarding boats and the market, etc. Anyway, the offer has been accepted, subject to him successfully selling his current boat, obtaining financing, survey and short sea trial. They are coming up this weekend for an overall inspection, then the survey and sea trial will be scheduled. We'll see. I might have to shift the flag back to the GB. Problem is, I had the Navigator all set up for spending some time on it this winter. The GB is stored away inside, so if the sale is consummated, I may be boatless for the winter. Eisboch |

I wasn't very clear or detailed about the offer. The closing (if it occurs) has to be within 35 calendar days from yesterday per the purchase agreement. With our signed acceptance, he is required to submit a deposit to the broker and his current boat is under contract/agreement with a scheduled closing on Dec 10. The financing, survey and sea trial are pretty standard, so I think it's a reasonable time frame. This offer came out of the blue .... I had officially taken the Navigator off the market as of November 15th. As much as I like the boat I don't want to keep two of them and in the current market decent offers are becoming far and few between. Now, if someone happens along and buys the GB as well ... and apparently there is a serious, interested party for it as well, I've got my eye on something else. It may take some doing to get it approved by the Admiral, however. Eisboch |

Actually, I'd consider a decent sized sailboat but it's out of the question according to the Admiral. A replacement boat right now will most likely be a trawler type, but a bit bigger than the GB36. Reality check time. *If* the sale of the Navigator goes through, we'll probably keep the GB36 for a while. It's cheap to run, in good shape and is small enough for me to easily single-hand. I had some reservations with the single engine/rudder thing until I got the hang of "back and fill", so that's not a huge issue anymore. It would also be ideal for a leisurely trip down the ICW next winter. Although not as comfortable and roomy as the Navigator, I spent a lot of time on it this past summer and enjoyed it. But, then again, I wonder if the guy we bought the 36 from now wants to sell his 49 footer. Eisboch |
Good Grief

The market is slow and his sale could stretch out, with your boat off the market. Better to have a contingency that says he has x days to obtain satisfactory financing, otherwise no deal or he pays penalties from his deposit for extensions. I wasn't very clear or detailed about the offer. The closing (if it occurs) has to be within 35 calendar days from yesterday per the purchase agreement. With our signed acceptance, he is required to submit a deposit to the broker and his current boat is under contract/agreement with a scheduled closing on Dec 10. The financing, survey and sea trial are pretty standard, so I think it's a reasonable time frame. This offer came out of the blue .... I had officially taken the Navigator off the market as of November 15th. As much as I like the boat I don't want to keep two of them and in the current market decent offers are becoming far and few between. I forbid you to sell the Navigator until I can talk Mrs. Wave into it. Or take a ride on it. Ok - ok - I got a carried away there - sorry. :) Good luck with it, but I still think you are going to miss it. Now, if someone happens along and buys the GB as well ... and apparently there is a serious, interested party for it as well, I've got my eye on something else. It may take some doing to get it approved by the Admiral, however. Hmmmmm - mega yacht? No way. Thinking more like, http://www.maritimesales.com/PI12.htm Eisboch Wonder if you could talk local donut king, Ron Joyce, out of this sailboat. http://www.outsideimages.co.nz/super...s/ppage77.html Which end is the bow? Actually, I'd consider a decent sized sailboat but it's out of the question according to the Admiral. A replacement boat right now will most likely be a trawler type, but a bit bigger than the GB36. Reality check time. *If* the sale of the Navigator goes through, we'll probably keep the GB36 for a while. It's cheap to run, in good shape and is small enough for me to easily single-hand. I had some reservations with the single engine/rudder thing until I got the hang of "back and fill", so that's not a huge issue anymore. It would also be ideal for a leisurely trip down the ICW next winter. Although not as comfortable and roomy as the Navigator, I spent a lot of time on it this past summer and enjoyed it. But, then again, I wonder if the guy we bought the 36 from now wants to sell his 49 footer. Eisboch You might want to come down to annapolis this spring and check out trawler alley. Also, there are or were some really spiffy Nordic and American Tugs for sale at a local marina. Five of them, last time I drove by. |
