My God, that is a beautiful boat......awesome job. If it were at all possible I would buy that boat. Best of luck selling.... it will sell.

Hopefully, business wise, something will pop in the next 30 days, otherwise, I fear that she'll have to go.

What business are you in? I'm in the demolition business and I don't think anyone in construction is doing very well. I had to sell my Gun in 08 and at this time I can't even begine to think about buying.

Yeah, me too. It's kinda crazy, but, my toys are like children to me. I take them so personally that it's hard to let them go and I worry who may end up with them and how they'll care for them.

We're commercial roofing contractors........

Your right, I too believe that contractors are taking one of the largest hits right now.

I hope business turns arount for you. That is truelly one of the nicest looking boats I have ever seen. Siimple classic lines. I'm in the market for a new boat, unfortunately your boat is not in my budget.

Thank you......really..... :)

It's nice to hear all of the compliments. If I don't say so myself, it really needs to be seen in person. I designed it along the lines of a Ferrari or Maserati. Classy. Simple. Elegant. Rich. I think the interior really shows it...........with the black piping on the seats, the steering wheel and dash. Even the carpet color really works well.

Well.......the day has finally arrived......AGAIN! LOL!!! As I write this, the bilge is being cleaned in preparation of the engines being re-installed. Beginning later today or tomorrow morning at the latest.

Title for the trailer is in and the registration should be completed in the next couple of days. The trailer bunks need to be adjusted also. So, I'd imagine I should have the trailer in my hands later in the week.

When we complete the sea trial, and the engine hatch is back on, I'll try and post a YouTube video.

Yes and No. We have some nice work on the books, but, we're far from being back to "normal". We need to get the cash flow going again. Even with work, it'll probably be a two month cycle to get cash rolling again. The work needs to be steady for things to normalize. If the work runs out again, so will the cash flow. :( It's a vicious cycle.

I'd like to. We'll see what happens. So far, I've only taken phone call inquiries. No one has come to look at it yet. Honestly, even if someone offered me my asking price, I'd have to sleep on it to be be absolutely 100% that I want to let it go.

All I can say is WOW! That is a beautiful boat. Man I wish I was in the market for a new one. Good luck to you in your business and I hope you get to keep your baby.
