Mine is for sale

[charlie_the_tuna]

hey guys, how goes it? well, time to put my V up for sale. just pulled the drive and it needs an intermediary housing and i'm just dam tired of working on it.
that and i'm working 7 days a week to try and pay down my debt. will look for something a bit smaller for next season but for now i need to sell my beautiful V.
i will sell in any number of configurations.
i have a custom aluminum bracket that needs a good cleaning and powdercoat. the motor runs like a scalded dog so will sell that off as well.
will sell the hardtop and enclosure.
take the whole shebang or pick and choose.
i dont know if i'll let the top go before the boat.
i also just got a letter from my city saying i'm in violation of city ordinance and must get it out of there.
i have no trailer. spread the word. boat is still in great shape.

That sucks bro! If you were closer I'd be interested in a few things.

How much for the Hammer action figure on a plate of jello?

[msbhammer]

The Green Jello is mine. : )
Thats sucks brother Charlie. Hate to see you sell her. She is a dream machine. Whats the cost to fix her. ??

[charlie_the_tuna]

yes gents, it sucks indeed. the worst part is the boat is still in great shape. the cost isnt really the issue. its the work involved. working as much as i have been, i literally dont spend 10 hours a week with my kids. i havent taken a day off since christmas. i dont forsee any end to this cycle. i probably wont take another day off until the fall. as for the mini hammer in jello, we were forced to ingest it. we are that deep in debt. thanks for the kind words guys. this too, shall pass.
just doesnt seem right now like it will.

[msbhammer]

Whats the price. ???

[willy]

Good luck to you CT, I hope things ease up for ya brother. Boat or no boat you got friends here. Your not to far from me so if you get a day off and you want to get out fishing please let me know and we will hook up. I will pick you up on the staten Island side of the bay and we will catch em up.
good luck with your sale

[Blue_Runner]

Good to hear from you Charlie. Best of luck on the sale. I know you hate to see her go. She'll make a nice boat for someone.

P.S. Don't work too hard. Its a rat-race and you know what the fastest rat gets? Nuttin.

[macojoe]

That sucks man!! To bad you can't live off your good looks you be loaded!! LOL

Well stop by some time will ya! I haven't put a fee on the site, yet!

Good Luck!

[charlie_the_tuna]

thanks willy. i appreciate the thought because i know you meant it. dont be surprised if i do indeed show up one day.
blue, yeah, somebody is gonna get a hell of a boat. and i figure as soon as i pay down some of this sh!t i'll pick up something a bit smaller and be able to show my face around here again.
unfortunately we ran into a HUGE financial pitfall and its gonna take some to get our heads above water again. i even have to sell my jets season tickets. now that hurts. this will be my first summer ever without a boat.
EVER!!!


hey maco, you still kickin? when you do at some point decide to charge everybody on the sight (you cheap bastard) i'll expect to be grandfathered in.
just put it on my tab.

talk to you guys soon.

:butt:

[willy]

I will save a spot when you say the word, can you imagine two gorgeous men like us on the bay, the babes will be swooning

...from the stench of all the bullsh-t :laugh:

Charlie, sorry you goin' thru a tough time...hope you can get thru it soon...and you know you always got a pack of old dogs to hang out w/here whether you got a V or not...

[Seacrets]

And the farmer hauled another load of crap. Charlie, when you can come down to Florida, you got a fishing trip.

[chrisrub]

So what's the price for everything? I'm mainly interested in the bracket and hard top.. Im on Long Island as well.

[charlie_the_tuna]

i'll pull through reel. a little hard work never hurt anybody.
seacrets, its a date.
chrisrub, check your pm.

[randlemanboater]

Sorry to hear of your hard times CTT. Try not to let money problems make you miss out on your kids growing up (easy for me to say I know). Before you know it, they will be grown and wont want to hang around with you.

I know you dont pray, but I do and will for you.

[charlie_the_tuna]

thanks randle, i'll land on my feet. just a rough patch right now. i'm grateful for the railroad, as we are (almost) immune to the economy. of course being surrounded by my family is the best support system i can find.
we'll come back bigger and deffer.

[nipper]

Glad to have you back around Tuna. Best of luck to you and your brood. Pardon me for being completely unhip, but what is deffer?

[cliffpaul2]

You got any pictures?

[spareparts]

what is exactly wrong with the boat? I might be able to help you out with parts if needed

[charlie_the_tuna]

nice to be back nipple. "deffer" is what i am now that i'm more than def.

cliffpaul2, pictures will be up on saturday.

spare, thanks for the offer. the part i need is the one that the bellows attaches to on the inside but i wont be doing the job. i just dont have the time. i'll let it go for a song (so to speak) and let the next owner take care of it. whoever buys this boat will be getting a helluva deal. i'll go for something a little smaller next season. by the way, how is the little doll doing? hope all is well.

[spareparts]

shes doing pretty good, check out the pics of our vacation I just posted. She had anotehr mri right before we went out of town, the results came back showing the tumor was stable( I'll take that, her last chemo cycle was pretty broken up), she is having more trouble with her left leg, my wife took her to another neurologist yesterday, were waiting to her their next plan. She started her chemo again Monday

[phester]

Glad to have you back around Tuna. Best of luck to you and your brood. Pardon me for being completely unhip, but what is deffer?
Nipper, I too don't know what deffer means, but I do know this , it's hip to be square

[bcmarinamanager]

Do you have an allbum on here? How much? Or would you be willing to trade for a V20 CC in great shape?

[charlie_the_tuna]

thanks for the offer bc but trades are just not an option right now.
think of this as more of a distress sale.

see my new thread under this heading titled "couple shots of the top".
