Big problem? You have a boat up for sale and you got a legit offer?

That would be two boats sold in a couple of months - you are doing
better than most brokers.

But.... I'll be boatless. Well, except for a old, 13' Boston Whaler.

You could buy my Parker...

How about your 36' Zimmerman like lobster boat? Oh, that's right it'd
be awful hard for a surveyor to value on your wet dream.

Nice problem to have!



You don't understand. It *is* a problem.

Mrs.E. has very little interest in boats anymore. She's too involved with
her horses, etc.
So, when the subject comes up about a new boat .... I've lost all my
leverage regarding budgets.

Still working on the problem.

Eisboch.

The horse thing is a problem for sure, perhaps insurmountable.

Tell them you are selling the motor seperately.

Just tell her if you sell the horses, there would be more than enough
room in the budget for a new boat.

It would be simpler to invent perpetual motion.

You don't suggest to a horse lover that she should "sell" her horses.
My oldest son, with two girls, is scared **** that he's going to inherit
them.

Clearly you need a boat with more horse power.

Those olde English canals and canal towns are way cool. One of my
ambitions is to do a canal cruise through southern France.

The guy next to me has a 33 SeaRay and his wife's girlfriend got her
into horses.
Now she has a trailer, two horses, etc.
She gets up super early before work to do whatever people do with
horses at dawn.

I haven't seen his wife out at the boat in a year and a half.

I'm sure you'll have better luck.




Story sounds very familiar.

BTW .... I know what people do with horses at dawn. It ain't pretty.

When the kids were young, we had two quarter horses - Apple and Medic
and a rescued mule - aptly named Ralph. As the kids got older,
getting up early was relegated to Dad and his dogs. Which meant that
Dad and his dogs did the morning horsie chores.

Of the three of them, Ralph had the most personality and the only one
I got along with. Horses are stupid beasts - mules have a brain.

I really dislike horses.

No offense to Mrs. E intended.
