Well today I went for a test ride on a 1999 Proline 241 and gave the guy a deposit. I got a good deal and talked him into leaving the 6 man life raft on the boat. So I'm not going to be a V owner too much longer after I get it all cleaned up and sold. Here is a link to the boat I purchased. I'll start a post about my V when I get it ready to sell. It just needs a good cleaning and a few things gone over so it should not take too long.

Thanks but it is going to be very hard to sell the V20 as it giving us some really great times over the past 20 years. My dad lives on the water and has a great peir so I think he might keep my V for a month or so to see if he will use the boat. I hope he does because I hate to see it go.

Thanks guys. I found this boat back 3 months ago but he was set on his price. I guess after no buyers he woke up to the real world of todays market. Blue I 'd love to splash the boat but I now have to buy a truck to tow this thing around. My current truck has 220,000 so I was already looking for something but this will speed up my search.

Well tomorrow I go and pick up the boat and he is going to go over all the stuff on the boat with me. I still have not found a new tow vehicle so he is going to tow it to my house tomorrow. My wife said she now knows how to post pics (I didn't ask how or what kind of pics she has been posting) so I'll post a few of my new rig and also some of my V20 which I should have up for sale in about a week. The V does not really need any work just a good cleaning up and a few little things fixed.

I'm not going to stop posting here as I really like this site and there is a 90% chance my dad is going to buy my V20. He lives on deep water with a nice pier but no boat. He is not sure if he will et enough use out of a boat so I told him to buy mine and in a month or so if he is not using the boat we can just put it up back for sale.
