Well, sort of.......

My soon to be ex-wife Tina loves the boat and is keeping it. It'll be kept on the lift in the community dock at the house on Beaver Lake. She's run it a bunch when I'm gone racing and handles it just fine, on the lake, around the docks and rafting up.

I suspect I'll retain visitation/maintenance rights

It's a pretty friendly split and should stay that way, we do fine as brother/sister type friends- it's the rest that we struggle with.

I'll downsize somewhat, get a smaller cat and or lose the toterhome in the interest of a single income budget. Kids (14 and 22) are taking it just fine.

For those that might guess I'm getting a lopsided deal, I'm keeping an equal share of assets/equity, mostly rental property.

Sorry to hear about the split, but happy that you guys are working together - I have been through the same typr of thing and my ex-wife and I get along for the most part...

Make sure that you look into the Pantera Pictures so you can see that their are now some up-dated pictures of my Pantera

Good Luck & Keep In Touch...

For the time being, tuning and testing will be done on/in my Daytona, probably on another lake, just to keep things "nice".

I do like the Pantera and love the engine/acceleration. I'm thinking of trading one yr maint for one long weekend with the boat/kids taking it to Destin- seems like a reasonable deal to me I'd take the Daytona, but the Pantera is better suited and my boxed steel trailer for the Daytona might object... eventually anyway.

Thats too bad about the break up. But atleast you get to keep the pantera.

I'm keeping the Daytona- SHE keeps the Pantera

sorry about the break up.
I guess the pantera 'asset wise' is worth more than a sale of it.
Best of luck to you.

Actually, with the market like it is and similar guestimate equities we left the 2 boats and toter off the asset list, we walk away, her with the Pantera and me with the Daytona/ Toter, are free to sell at whatever price we want and live with it.

Damn dude! Well there you go, not only dangerous in high speed turns and bad in rough water, but Cats break up marriages!

Ken, sorry to hear about your troubles. But, if you ever get down about it, pop in "War of the Roses", smile and know it could have gone a lot worse! (And trust me, that movie isn't my only reference to how stuff like that can go very ugly very quickly!)

Good luck!

Its still in the family though right............I mean if she's still your best friend wouldn't she let you drive it if you were in town.

Since she's only like your sister now, whats her number? . . .I love that boat!!

Just kidding!! Glad to hear you were able to work something out.

We have an ex-employee that is a "person of interest" in the disappearance of his wife...certainly can't be worth it.
