Well - first off, Nationals are at my club, so I'll still be around. Secondly I'm definitely still going to hang out here. I think we need an "I used to own one of these" forum segments.

Obviously I just posted this 12 minutes ago so it isn't sold yet. If it isn't gone by Nationals, then I'll still be racing her. If not, I may wind up being assigned as the PRO to the C25 course; I may end up on another boat; I may be racing the new boat; I may be at an entirely different regatta....

Maybe we need to add a title like "Consultant Emeritus" for those of us who've moved on.

Okay, Okay ---the potential new boat is an O'day 30. We have a very "soft" agreement contingent upon the sale of the Wasp. If the Wasp isn't gone when this guy is ready to get his powerboat then he is going to list it for about twice the price we are being offered. (and no Dave he isn't going to the dark side, he still has the evelyn 32 and a new lightning.)

Do you have a trailer for your boat?

If not, what would one cost?

No I don't have a trailer. They range from 1500 for a really base model (made down your way if I recall) to a top of the line rig for about 3500 to 4k.

Feel free to shoot me an email.

Duane--you're letting the Web Editor mess with your price?

I'm not going totally Dark, either--I have access to a Beetle Cat and might pick up some little board-boat (Sunfish, Zuma, Laser...).

Should we be crossing our fingers next weekend??

When I saw you commenting I thought you would be making a wisecrack about the "nudge" - I figured you don't want to bump anything on Jack stands....

You can do that more subtly by just editing one of your posts.
