    NJgr8ful started a thread about an interesting boat. We moved it. He was wondering why. So am I. DO we know our rules so we can explain. I answered we are on a learning curve and appreciate input and will review.




    "Fundster, as I said, it is not my boat, not my sale. I just came across it on FleaBay and thought it might be interesting for someone else. I could care less if it sells or sinks This was done all the time on OSO ... It was just an FYI / 'interest' type post.

    After a mod moved it here I was kinda at a loss what to do. So I just posted the same thread in the Midnight Express owners section to be PC or SO PC"

    It's an interesting piece - and a source of discussion.
    Don't see a reason it needed to be pulled from GD.
    Might find out a little more History on something "unique"...
    800 gallons of fuel - this thing has stories to tell.

    I think it is another discussion item in KW.

    Unfortunately, I'm gonna be in Nashville.
    But, I think I got my point across.

    Quad 225's with 800 gallons??
    Let's do the math.
    Sounds like a boat that had a "purpose".
    Or maybe I just love hearing those stories of these boats with "history".

    It appears as though a discussion moderator mistook it for a boat NJ was selling for someone else. They moved it to the marketplace, I then mistook it for a boat he was selling for someone else, and to me it looked like an auction. So I asked for the minimum price, to make it kind of in line with the marketplace regs.

    I explained to him on the thread what I thought had happened. I think that it looked so much like an ad rather than a "hey look at this" that it just kept being mistaken for one.
