    What to do with Deep C????

    Well an interesting varied day for me... Was a bit warmer today. Dabbed just a bit of paint, sanded down the boot stripe and did some prop polishing getting ready for coating with Prop speed... Gonna be delayed getting out of the yard so no point in laying paint that may lose some of its bio killing properties.
    Figured I'd go fishing. No wind for a kite and too late to buy bait anyway I splashed a spread of all naked dinks... Bingo! Raise a tripple right out of the gate and get two of em... Miss another single then the wind shifted and they shut off. I know better than to burn fuel on a southwest wind which means a fronts commin.

    Got back to the yard and piddled some with the big boat. More prop polish played with the batteries a bit. Got bored.

    Walked back to Deep C where she sits gathering dust. Got inspired when I saw how filthy she was. Gave her a scrub and the word mud comes to mind... even laid a little rejex wax on her to bring some shine back to her world...
    Sat there looking at her. As I made a mental list of what she needs to get right after sitting so long, I started thinking about what a waste it is having such a sweet little machine sit idle. Its really a crying shame...

    So what to do? Clean her up and sell her at a loss in this market? That would probably be the smartest thing... anybody interested? Clean her up and make time to use her even though I'm jammed busy with the other boats? Or......... Try to find someone willing to do the work in exchange for me letting him/ her charter it?
    What do you think? What would you do?

    Thats hard deep.. I know that feeling..i got my 33 coming in and out of the water throughout the year and spending thousands to keep her dry and get her wet again..

    Doesnt seem worth it.. if i could find someone to run it full time, cover costs, and make me some cash in return i would keep it.. but now it is owned and nothing owed on it so i would rather sell for 50.. because in 3-4 years it is going to cost that our of pocket to watch her sit (and im not paying docking fees)...

    I would off it deep!! keep the center console and off the big guy! you can enjoy it more and not worry about big time maint!!
