You shopping for "fast" or "slow" boat?

The one I am eyeballing is fast compared to the GB. But, it can also
be operated slowly.
If things come together, I'll give details. Right now I want to keep
ShortWave guessing.

I hope it's one of those neato "tugs."

Nope.

My freind is the Nordic Tug dealer in Essex CT. They are very nice
boats for what I know about those types of boats. What I have noticed
about them running out is no wake.... almost...

I get a kick out of his broker. He sent an email apology for the 11th
hour
delay and informed me that the buyer had authorized the release of the
downpayment funds to show "good faith". Big deal.
Ah yes - well, that's the way of it.

Good luck.


Just got another email from the buyer's broker. The financing closing was
held and the buyer is forwarding our check, dated Friday, today. So, it
looks like it's a done deal.

I've promised to meet with him when he comes up in March to go over the boat
again in a more leisurely manner, and to deliver a couple of items that I've
had stored at my house (couch, end table, etc.)

Now, should the GB sell, I am going boat shopping.

Why not a wire transfer? I wouldn't take a check from anyone for that
amount.

They are really nice boats, along with the American Tugs. There are
quite a few of them in this area. I think if I were buying a floating
RV, I'd go for one of these brands. Tom Clancy, the writer, has one.
Keeps it in Annapolis.

Can I assume it won't have ETECs hanging off the back? :)

You assume correctly.

Very cool. End of an era and beginning of the new.

What 'cha thinking about buying - assuming Pangea sells that is.

Oh - I got dibs on ride. :)


Top Secret. At least until if and when it happens.

Fine - be that way.

What about the ride? :)


Ride on what? The GB or the potential "new" boat?

It has dual ETECs at the bow...anchors.

It will be a bank check from the bank he financed it through. I have no
problem with that, since I still have the "keys" and it's virtually
impossible to move the boat right now. The check will have plenty of time
to clear before the boat goes anywhere.

As I mentioned in another post, wire transfers are not necessarily "safe"
either, unless you set up a "dummy" account.

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.

Pick different engines. That's all I am going to say for now.
