Holy cow I just noticed that my last post was # 5000 :eek:

Hopefully most of them have contributed something to the boards :o :rolleyes: :D

With this post I am announcing that we sold our salt water cruiser:

Just got the funds this morning and the new owners will be picking it up tomorrow. It is bitter sweet as I really do enjoy that kind of boating with my family, but the reality is that it is SOOOOO expensive and SOOOOO much work to keep a rig of that size that stays moored in the salt in nice shape and full of fuel.

So we are taking a break for a bit. We will probably do it again in a year or two, but probably something smaller again with less fuel consumption :eek:

The good news is I will be using the Activator and the Whaler a bunch more this year :cool:

And for the record, I am letting the inflatable go with the cruiser, but NOT my 2-stroke 15hp, I am keeping that until the EPA prys it from my hands at gunpoint :D

Takes one to know one Chuck :D

Thanks Mirage

boostedVR6, I actually did OK, but then I am a nut, I try to keep all of my stuff as mint as possible.

We got the same amount we paid for it 4 years ago, lost any extras and repairs I put into it, but that goes hand in hand with boating. So I think that is pretty good in todays market :)
