Beantown & Randleman...
 

Guys, I got a lead on a real nice '84 cuddy w/ a '99 Merc Blue Water Series motor on it...I saw this boat this past summer and just hung up talkin' w/ owner and it's still available...and priced right...


...anybody wanna look into it? ;) ... 8) ...

Reel, you gotta try out that new camera Santa gave ya and snap lots and lots of Pics. of it. ;)

Re: Beantown & Randleman...
 

Well considerin' I'm 5 hours away and didn't have camera last time I was in close proximity, that'd be a little difficult, old pal ;) ;D ...


Na, actually I did take some cell-phone pics, but if ya remember, my carrier "doesn't support'' wired transfers of pics and although I've gotten some pix into Pix Place, I just ain't smart enough yet to get 'em to a file, then to PB ::) ...one day I hope to be smart as Willy and be able to do that 8) ...


Now, what I AM smart enough to do is I've told the owner, if he'll E-Mail me discription and PIX , I'll send 'em along to whoever requests them ;) ...he's gonna send (he said) Mon ... wanna see?...I'll shoot 'em to ya when I get 'em ;) ;D ...

Say ya wanna take a drive?...I-95 South to Hwy 9, tun left and follow signs to Ocean Isle ;) ...you'll be there in no time 8) ...this really IS a nice boat...are YOU still lookin'?

Re: Beantown & Randleman...
 

Nope, no lookey anymore. *I've committed to the "girl I brung to the dance." *When I was hot to trot, I couldn't find a V-21. *I got to thinking about a few things. *I know my boat inside and out. *Took me 5 years to get where I am now, no need to start over again.

There is one big trade-off that I was willing to make, then changed my mind. *The deck in the V-21 is high and stays dry. *That's what I wanted. *The trade-off comes in the area of gunnel-height. *The V-21 hits me below the knee, my V-20 hits me above the knee. *Big difference (to me) in saftey fishing in the ocean solo, which I do a fair amount of. *The added depth of the old style (mines an 87) convinced me to keep what I got.

So now that I've decided to keep it, I'm spending a little to gussy her up a bit. *You know, things like new enclosure and better brakes. ;D

Airslot, my wife walked in and asked me what that clown riding a unicycle was for ::) (referring to your two-stroke). I then explained the wonders of internal combustion engines to her. 8)

Re: Beantown & Randleman...
 

Bradford, don't sweat the two stroke. My wife peaks over my shoulder from time to time or just catches me laughing at the puter'. Try explaining some of these bouncing avatars, or Cy's girl rubbin on me, er, herself.

Women just don't get it.
I'll bet after you went through the complete explanation she said "that's nice" ::)

Re: Beantown & Randleman...
 

I was just at Holden Beach last week, coulda stopped in to look at it. You said its nice and priced nice, how nice is the price?

Re: Beantown & Randleman...
