Don, gotcha. How soon are you looking to get them? I need to plan this around my motor work. Russ

WAGS382

Not to hijack the thread, but Formula 311 SR1 has been on my short list for some time.

Is it in the OSO classifieds?
What ya' looking for out of it.
Wouldn't be interested in a cool 20' BB Cigarette?

Let me know.

Ernie,

Hey ... I met you down at the Navy Bistro on Memorial weekend. Haven't seen you since. If you're thinking about a 311, I traded mine without power for a 382 this summer. But WAGS 311 is super clean and mechanically sound ... I highly recommend you take a look at it if you can. I could take a trip over there if you want to see it. Let me know. 419-882-1680.

Whoops, found it in the Classifieds Jeff.
Wow, that's one sweet ol' girl, but a bit out of my price range.

Darn pretty though.

Hey Chris,

Yeah I remember, even thought about yours when I saw it for sale w/o power (speaking of squeeky clean), but I didn't want to owe my sole to Reno for the re-rig
Would like to see that 382 some time, looks pretty cool.

A few weeks after I drank with you guys down at the docks, I broke my
f@#king foot skiing and was in a cast most of the summer
Kinda put a crimp in the boating action......

Really appreciate the offer, but I better check my resources ($$$) before I bother him.
Unless he would like to take a really cool little 20' in on trade

Hope to talk with you soon.

Ernie,

Hate to tell you, but my boat re-sold for only $25,000 one week after it went on the market. The guy had to tow it from California back to New York! Another friend of mine would have bought it for that price and saved me the tow to California if I had only known!

Wow, I never seem to be in the right place/time.

Tried to buy CashBrain's old 31 Excaliber over the holidays, but it sold just before I could get up there with "the boys" to check it out in person.

Oh well. I've got Ten Foot-itis pretty bad, so I'm on the hunt. Just gotta get over being a cheep-skate.

djduck13, you don't have to recover the seats to change the interior color...you can have it stained, basically painted. I have a friend who is runs an interior shop and I've seen him do this when someone wants a different interior color, or when there is a stain that can't be removed. I've saw him spray the whole rear deck cover of a brand new donzi Z-33 that a mechanic had stained with trans fluid and you could not tell it had been colored....the feel was the same as was the look compared to the rest of the interior. Its just like painting the hull, they have special paints just for vinyls and they will hold up. Seeing how the pink is probably a small portion of your interior color would make this a great way to go. Something to consider if you really would like to change the interior color without the redo expense.
Of course the results would depend upon who is applying the stain.

Ernie,
Thanks for the compliment on the boat. You should take up Chris on that offer, your not that far from here. The boat is in a heated pole barn in my back yard so you can get a good look at it in any weather. RedDog thanks for the plug on the 311.

Outlaw-

I am in no hurry for the props. When ever you are planning on doing the motor work let me know. I would like the first chance to buy them.

Thanks
Don
