Crisis averted!!!!!!!!
 

as some of you may know the LIRR was to strike this sunday morning for a fair contract. well, with the "help" of governor Cuomo we have reached a settlement. I was planning on getting a couple grand retro but with our new contract it looks like I may get quite a bit more. my plan was to go for zarkohl's boat and have a few bucks left over to get her water ready. as it stands now I may get as much as 5 or 6k. wont know until I know. may go for a 17 foot whaler or one of the big 3 17 foot centers with fairly new power.
it should take a good few months before I have cash in hand but my promise is that I will get each and every one of you involved in my purchase. as you know I like to do my research so that part of it will be exhaustive. maybe a decent V20 with good, reliable power.
anyway, hang on to your hats, gents...... because here we go again.

Charlie, when I heard that the LIRR was probably going to strike I got worried about you and your fellow rail polishers. I'm extremely happy that it's gotten settled and things are looking up for you. Congrats!!!! :beer:

Bring it on, barn doors and all..

As long as its green

I hope the boats as good lookin as you chuck ..... Don't forget wax on wax off:nice:

well, my engineer did his own math today and his numbers aren't as hopeful as mine. I may be looking at 2 or 3 k. in any case it's gonna be a while. now I have no idea what the hell's going on.


also, last time my union settled a contract they assessed us each a thousand. hope that's not the case now.

To bad you gotta wait Charlie, what a beauty of a Mako I just saw by us

do tell??
