Make me an offer I can’t refuse.
Hey Walt, I think I told the story of the Lake Norman fiasco, yes? Following that, I'm out of the market. So much effort and time wasted. Heart...
So, he told the guy he wanted the boat. Said meet me tomorrow, I'll write you a check. (He was 5-6 hours away.) Meanwhile, my bud was on 75 North.
Yeah, just not feeling it right now. One of my buds drove from Cincinnati to Atlanta to look at a boat. The guy said it was 'A-1, flawless,...
Thanks, Walt. Still working on dispelling the bad mojo from my 900 mile fiasco.
Yeah. I called the marina where I bought my first boat recently. They don't sell boats anymore.
Thanks, Walt. One of my buds advises to stay away from the dealers. I must say, he does have a point.
Drove 900 mile round trip to NC to look at a 272. I'm going to say that it probably sat on a lift with a mooring cover on it for the better part...
Hey Walt, I see you're a 'well known' member. I'm shooting for the 'notorious' designation. Thanks for the reply! Jack
Does this mold make my boat look big? It's a distinct possibility that I'm having optical illusions, but I did make inquiry of some Cobalt...
Figured this out with the help of Jim and a few others: They changed the hull in 2008. Went form that cool, low slung, shark looking boat to the...
Thanks much, I'm going to look at a buddy of mine's 262 tonight. It's not for sale, but he wanted to show me a few things he thought were...
Just not grooving on the size, the high gunnels. Remember I'm in a low profile inboard now. Classic lines. Beautiful. Nimble.
Side note: Jim @ Gordy's has been super. Takes the time to get to know you. Knows his boats. Thanks for the referral.
Looked at a 262 last weekend. Felt a bit large. Talked with a fellow that has a 230. Nice lines, not too big. Yet to drive either.
The only Jimmy Noonan I know. He's from Akron, Ohio. Boated on Cumberland. I got the boot in Akron, took it to West Virginia when I lived there...
Hey Shawn, Indeed, as a public service I believe you ought to post the name change protocol. Think of the bad mojo that could be prevented!
Current boat is 'Blue Leprechaun'. It's a Saltare', blue, and the original custodian was Jimmy Noonan. Bad luck to change the name unless certain...
Missed out on a couple of sweet ones, just by a bit. 242 and the 26.
Finally.....got ahold of Jimmy. (I spoke with POTUS, he has a hard time getting hold of him too! Ave Maria!!) Good fella, I think he's going to...
