BRRRRRRRRRR!! 31 degrees in the sun.

I showed the Marinette today to a guy from Chattanooga. Nice fella. Cute girlfriend/Admiral in tow.<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

She ran like a top(Not the girlfriend, the Marinette).<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> We took her out and ran up and down the lake like it was summertime. She purred like a big old kitten.

He likes her. Say's he'll try to get the financing. We'll see.

The journey continues.

You're still talking about the boat and not the girlfriend, right?

Hope that he is serious and that he can take care of financing the boat.

Hi Don and Don,

I think the girlfriend might cost more than the boat.<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>Nice girl.

I hope he's serious too. He's a marine mechanic and knows Marinettes. He was able to appreciate how well my boat has been maintained. There are alot of beat up boats out there.

The down side is that it's not easy to get a loan on a 1969 boat. Even with the appraisal.

We had fun on the test drive. As long as we stayed in the sun and cockpit, it wasn't too cold.

We'll see.

Good luck paul.

That's one fine looking boat. I do like old classic cruisers, they are nice too. I understand that some old folks go to trawlers when sailing becomes too much for them. Maybe I'll get a trawler when I'm about 90.

Hi Frank,

It's funny you said that about trawlers.

The guy I showed it to wants to set it up for livaboard cruising and take it down the Tentom(spelling?) waterway to the intercoastal waterway and then to Key West.

Sounds like fun to me.

His dad is in the market for a Catalina 22.

Please pass info on to me about your boat and I'll tell him about it when he calls me.

Thanks,

Paul
