There Still Is No Such Thing As A "Cheap" Boat!!!,

[seapower]

As a few on here know I have been looking for my "last" boat for goin on 2 year's now. Single diesel (possibly twin's) in the 35ft range. Have seen many picture's, many boat's and have come close a once. I sea trailed one yesterday that I was ready to commit to, but it just didn't turn out. Nothing against the baot, because in the "end" it would make "some one" a really good boat I am sure, but getting there is the problem. I have owned 4 "bigger" commercial boat's, 3 of those I rebuilt from stem to stern, all very good boat's. Problem is you have way more money it them than you can get out of them. I don't care how you wrap it up, a boat is only "worth" what you can sell it for. In today's market that can really hurt. Well I guess the search continue's, but I'm running out of steam! Frank

I was sure the ole W.C. was going to see her day in the ocean again, with you as her captain! haha. Keep looking, you'll find er

Me too, but I'm not laughing. Kinda took the wind out of my sail's! Frank

I'm sure there are some good deals out there, but boats have never been cheap since they stopped making them out of bundled reeds.

Cheap means you are gonna have a hell of a lot of work to do to get it shipshape. Nothing wrong with that - I'd love to rebuild one from the ground up, but the only thing cheap would be the initial buying price...

Good luck Frank - Maybe Ace will make you a deal on one of those new ventilated hull boats...

I've been there 4 times now. I kept asking myself, why??????? I the end they are just as expensive as one ready to go(in my experience) but, at least you know what's there and where. Frank

Frank the Ricky.."Hera" has been for sale at a good price have you looked at it. I have seen her running a few time this year and she sounds sweet....

Frank - If you have any interest in Albemarle, I just listed my 32' 2001 and its about an 8.5-9 out of 10 condition wise. Its in MHC. Let me know if you need any details.

Frank , I saw the "cheap' and thought you were talkin about mine... So they do exist...

It could be had for a song but only 28'. No doubt you'ld have a set of b series dropped in her before ever turning a key. Past that though she's got a solid foundation, comfortable run and troll, and a pretty well thought out lay out... I hope you find what youre looking for.

Frank sorry that one did not work out for you, keep looking, it will happen...

I asked you about that boat last year. Picked up a boat down there and rode right past you, docked at Jupiter for a matter of fact. You told me it wasn't for sale, you're startin' to sound like my wife now. Can't make up her mind what color curtain's she want's. Frank
