You never know. He seems to be in the process of liquidating his
assets. The LT boat will probably be offered up soon.


If you are referring to me, you're, as usual, wrong. I'm merely
clearing out some of the old for some of the new. I'm not a pack rat.
I always sell my desktop computers after a year or two.

As for boats, at least I would have a couple to sell, if I were so
inclined. You are boatless.

As a point of information, I am indeed looking at a new boat, and if
I decide to go ahead, I would be selling the other boats, but for the
canoe.

I'm sure if you pooled your resources with some of the other "done
nothing in life" types here, you'd have enough to buy a new rubber
ducky, eh?



You were doing so well up to your last sentence, where you completely
disintegrated into a puddle of poo. Sad to see that happening.


Ahhh...your Navy pension provides enough so that you could buy your own
rubber ducky? Good for you.

You're still in the poo puddle. Relax. Take a deep breath, and try again.

Prices on imaginary boats are all over the place this year. Bargain
hard and keep looking for the right one. It's out there, limited
only by your, errrr, imagination. :-)

Indeed, there are many trawlers and pseudotrawlers like yours on the
market, but...they make really ungainly planters.

2 grand aluminum's are at a premium, unless it is really thin aluminum.
There was a rash of stolen northwest alumium jetboats this year. Scrap
value of $4k

Interesting you mention that - it had been happening around here -
aluminum boats stolen (if they were portable) and scrapped.

Not so much anymore, but for a while there, even the aluminum canoes
up at the Y camp were stored inside instead of just on the beach.
