Do people hate Houston??
I get two or three calls weekly, showing intrest about my Sea Ray. But no one will come down and look at it. I just don't get it. I got two calls on my Fountain, the second call bought the boat. What the hell is going on? I was just wondering if the rest of the U.S. thinks Houston sucks? thanks for any input. Tom

We flew into Houston a number of years ago.....we had accepted a position at a local Pharmacutical plant and we went to find a home. We got to our hotel in Sugarland and promptly called the company and said thanks but no thanks and flew back to TN the same day.

Tom-
I was born and raised in Houston so I may be biased. Personally, I don't think it's anything about Houston that is causing your results. I've never let my dislike for a "city" stop me from going to look at a boat. Funny though, I've never bought a boat in Houston. Mostly because there wasn't anything here of interest: in my price range. Bruce Bullock is a good friend, but I don't want to spend that kind of money for his Skaters.
Some haven't been to Houston in a while and don't know that parts of the city have made positive changes to become fun and class acts. Downtown has dramatically changed: fine arts, great sport arenas, light rail, luxury inside-the-loop living, the best medical center, etc. The Clear Lake (now Bay Area Houston) area Kemah Boardwalk is quite an attraction: although, as a local, I avoid it (too crowded).
Best of luck selling the Sea Ray!

Houston SUCKS! The lay-out of the city is crap. Traffic is CRAP! When driving in Houston don't look for a turn signal because its not coming. Constant use of the middle finger out the window and the other hand on the 9mm while driving with your knees.
