Yeah, like I said, if it's good enough for him, then it's good enough for anybody. Yeah, the validity of the engine would be a huge concern. especially after reading the comment: "Then he told me that he had replaced the VRO system, but when it failed it didn't do any harm "as far as he could tell". i believe you were wise to balk 'n walk. The bottom line is that the fact that Booger was interested in it shows his taste in and knowledge of boats. I would think the boat would look nice next to his double wide though. Explain to us just what's wrong with a double wide except there are some wildly exaggerated connotations connected to it. sigh That's probably how much you know about them. Which trailer park do you live in and have you recently *upgraded* to a double wide? I can guarantee you that if you had the privilege of being inside my SO's parents "triple wide" you would not know is was not a site built home. Not located in a "trailer" park but on 5 acres on the shore of beautiful lake. |
