The new boat.

A friend of mine just purchased a Fortier 33 with Volvo diesels - I
think he said they are 225 hp turbo charged - don't quote me on that.
He's itching to get it in the water asap.

I'll give you a hint. Twin Yanmar 440 hp turbo diesels. That's all I am
going to say for now.

Last night, Mrs. Wave and me discussed the whole boat situation. The
upshot is that she would rather fly or drive to places she wants to go
rather than go via boat.

So I'm kind of free to pursue what I want.

Which means another Contender I'm thinking.

Or maybe a Fountain or Jupiter.


Whatever you get, if you put Etecs on it:

Yer Boat Will Be Ugly & Yer Bait Will Stink!

My bud "has the keys" for a 30 foot Fountain, twin 225's down near Old
Saybrook. This hull was origionally a "Team Fountain" fishing rig.
Says as soon as it is back in the water if you want to take it out for
a day he can take us out. Sea trial, or just fishin' is ok with
him...;)

Well, I can't say much about a power -driven vessel leaving a dock.

But a berth?


It depends on if I ate Kidney beans or Chilli that evening and depends
on if the wife is out of town .

I would guess the water temp in the Sound is in the low to mid 30's. I
was never insane enough to do "Winter Sound Fishing" when I lived in
Connecticut. What the hell would you be catching, other than pneumonia,
in those waters at those temps?

Bank Checks can be fooled around with. It's often weeks or even months
after they supposedly clear on your end, that the bank informs you
that you owe them the amount of the check because it turned out to be
forged.

Do some google searchs for things like:

"Bank Check" "scam"

or

"Bank Check Fraud"

Very true unfortunately. You're probably OK but the small percentage
of deals that go bad get pretty ugly. The nice thing about wire
transfers is positive proof that the money arrived, and the funds are
immediately available. I think most big ticket deals are being done
via transfers these days.


Agreed, a dedicated account for wire transfers is probably the safest way to
handle large transactions. As for bank checks, you can also request your
bank to confirm the authenticity of the check. I asked about this once and
they can do it, particularly with large transaction amounts.

In my current case, I am not concerned about a bank check. I have met the
buyers and have their address.
We've gone through the legitimate process ..... survey, sea trial,
mechanic's inspection, oil analysis, etc., all of which the buyer paid for.
Furthermore, the boat isn't leaving the dock until some time in April which
leaves plenty of time for the check to clear in any event.

Hmm, sounds like someone else we know. Of course if I had an LTP I
wouldn't go anywhere with it either.

I believe her subtle point was that she's not retiring any time soon
and that is that. :)

I think she's gotten way too used to me doing the house work, making
dinner and doing the laundry leaving her entirely free to pursue her
professional interests.

I think it's time for a strike.

Or Unionize.
