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. ;)

[reelapeelin]

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'?

[Airslot]

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)
