Got Any Boats You Wanna Sell? I Don’t Have To Ask The Wife!
Live-ish from Japan
The Boatress, Hank and Suzy 2 are eating and shopping their way through Japan. While I am here holding down the fort. So, you know what that means? Even if she says no, whatya gonna do, fly back 14 hrs with a belly full of fermented beans and pufferfish to yell at me? By then I will have the Boat/Jeep/Railway and well, okay, have about a week of enjoyment before all hell breaks loose. But first I would need to find the time to make such a deal.
The Suzy’s doing their part to keep the Japanese economy going, One phone case made to look like a kitty at a time
More eating, they were running on no sleep at this moment
Meanwhile at HQ
Glenna Fay is ready for the drink.
The dogs are having a party at HQ
Meetings and chores are competing with the Woody Floater challenge and my habit. That and the impending winter with no heat at HQ, and it will be tight. I have sent out the Manifold, carb and fuel pump to VanNess so that and the materials for the bottom will eat a portion of the budget up. The good news is I am about $350 bucks in, and the rest of it looks to be some sweat equity. STAY TUNED, It may be kinda a goofy week!
This Whaler is right down the street from me for sale. I have wanted a Banana Whaler for some time. UGH. I would need to sell WEFETCHEM first. Anyone want a nice Sea Pro 21 ft Center console?
Actually been a very sweet boat.
$9,500 – Comes with a trailer, engine is all done, with newer lower unit.
See, it’s already happening. The itch!
Glenna Fay sure does look pretty!
No, No, you are going about it backwards.
One always buys the next boat before selling the current boat! What if you sell WEFETCHEM only to have the Whaler sell out from underneath you just minutes before you close the deal. Lock it down!
Again boats are for buying not selling
Matt look ath the mini split units for heat I’ve been researching and here good thins
Thanks woodyboater
My rule is: buy it and slip it into my barn unnoticed. Depending on the item, it may go unnoticed for years, sometimes only days. Either way it’s ” yah, do you like it honey? I picked it up a while back – couldn’t resist. Isn’t it (she) a beauty?” This often works, however brace yourself for the occassional lecture and if alcohol is involved, it could be a lengthy dissertation. Buy it!!
Meanwhile back at the ranch…
渋谷からこんにちは！船員が初めてお寿司とラーメンを食べました。そして9.5マイルも歩きました！
Google’s translation of Hank-san’s comment.
Hello from Shibuya! A sailor tried sushi and ramen for the first time and walked 9.5 miles!
Thank you Kelly-san!
That would be a perfect boat for the Great South Bay and I’ve got plenty of dock space. Hmmm…
I own the same Whaler, all factory original and all teak (lots of it!) varnished. See photos. That boat is in rough shape, and will be a huge project to bring back, but you certainly have the facility and skills to do it. The bottom paint and tee top should be removed, as both destroy the classic lines of the boat. In full original or restored condition, these 1971 boats are show stoppers. You will love it.
Another photo of my 1971 Boston Whaler Outrage 21. If you buy and I can be of help, please make contact.
This one followed me home yesterday, so I’m familiar with your plight Matt.
This days, I’m not allowed to hang around with a lot of husbands because I’m considered a bad influence.
I don’t hide anything from Patti, she just mutters under her breath when she sees my next new treasure and says to no one in particular, “well, that’ll be one more for the auction……!”
After forty-five years of knowing full well my commitment to craziness, that’s what you call true love my friends.
So you’re saying that in only 6 more years I will have that kind of courage with the wife?
I don’t believe it…
Hacker racer?
30’ Belle Isle Super Bearcat, so yep, Hacker hull!
Sure! Always!
Tell her the truth upfront, and that way there’s nothing to yell about later on when she remembers that you brought another boat home! Pretty soon, they all blend together and look alike, so you don’t need camouflage or your buddy’s pole barn to hide something in.
So far, she hasn’t changed the keys to the house yet!
I’ve got a few for sale!
