rick,u have that boat prices to sell quick

[JFM]

That shouldn't last long at all!!! Wish I had the cash. If it doesn't sell with the trailer are you looking to sell it?

[JnT]

I have seen and ridden in this boat. It is nice and very well taken care of. I hate you are selling it Rick.

After all that hard work. I like the dash in your boat. Nice set-up, easy to maintain. Where are all those guys posting "looking for a 24"? Time to step up.
Good luck with the sale.

Whats next?

[rchevelle71]

Thanks everyone, I dont need to sell it right now, just trying to get a jump on it if it turns out the economy is not friendly to me, kinda start back at zero with no bills(other than the mortgage) and see where the manufacturing world ends up in a year or so, I hate to start a new career, but after 20+ years of Medical device MFG, it seems that the corprations think it is in their best interest to make implants in China:eek: There are some things going on in this field that as a Quality Manager I just dont want to put my name on. Right now we are making parts in China, Spain, Indiana, and here in Palm Beach. We have not had any serious issues, and China is actually making really nice parts, but not sure what happens when we set them loose to ship directly to the customer without going thru Palm Beach for inspection.

Whats next?

Steve, Bobby

Probably gonna take a short time off, and get back in either smaller(STV or similar small cat or tunnel to run the flat water in the keys, lakes etc), or bigger after saving some fund$. If it doesnt sell it will get new paint(silver to replace the purple) after I finish remodeling the house in a few months.

Thanks Jim, I would post the link to your vid, but that last little bobble off the sportfisher wake in the ICW might scare a few:D

If I get stuck with a trailer, a motor or both, they will also be for sale, might keep the motor for a future project.

Mike,

You have seen the boat, it is nice, but 30 years old, and even though its all there, there are some things that I would still like to update.

I see in one picture you had it tied up next to my old Skater. Tell Shawn I said hi.

Yup,

that was at Cabbage Key, shortly after Shawn got the boat(Beutiful boat by the way), he was also there the day the pic at Islamorada was taken, and new years day in Sarasota pics. I'll tell him you said hi when I see him, usually when we meet up at events.

Shawn is one of the best pure drivers I have seen in over 40 years of tunnel boat racing......

I have never seen him drive any of the small ones, and he is always so far in front of me with your old skater that I havent really witnessed him driving that either, but I hear he is the best.

"Just placed my boat in the classifieds"
How did you get it to fold up??

Good luck. I have had a boat for sale for a while. Lots of lookers but no takers and it's priced to move to.

Still having trouble loading pics in the ad, so here is a link to a few over on the outboard site.

So Rick,

Did you decide to keep it?

$$ talks, but for now it is sitting along side the house, and I will keep it and run it until it sells. Ran it last weekend, possibly this weekend, and making a trip to the keys in mid July.
