Default Re: Newbie from Curacao needs advice

Like Seacrets, I'm concerned about the weight of that motor...looks like a nice job on transom rebuild, and I like the T-top, but DEFINATELY sea-trail before you commit and pay CLOSE attention to how she sits at rest in the water, specially stern to a choppy or worse sea...that motor makes the premium price worth it, IF it's not too heavy...

If our concerns about motor weight prove to be unfounded, you'll have a sweet ride w/good power plant...

Hey KS, are you getting ready for the mass exodus from Venezuela?

LESTERUS tells us that his V was used to take people from Cuba to the U.S. and they had no problems making the trip.

or maybe you are Hugo in disguise?

HEY PARISH:

I BET YOU'D LOVED WHEN THE KING OF SPAIN SAID TO CHAVEZ: "POR QUE NO TE CALLAS?" (WHY DON'T SHUT UP?) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SO.AMERICAN PRESIDENTS
SUMMIT. I LOVED EVERY BIT OF IT.

AS FOR GOING FROM VENEZUELA TO CURACAO ON THE V-20, I DONT SEE ANY PROBLEM IF WEATHER PERMITS.

I CALLED A CUSTOMER IN ARUBA AND HE TELLS ME THAT THE PASSAGE IS VERY DIFFICULT SINCE THE SEAS ARE ALWAYS HIGH. BUT IF YOU WATCH FOR THE RIGTH WINDOW IT CAN BE DONE.

I'D CARRY AN E.P.I.R.B. BUT YOU KNOW ME BY NOW.

Oh yea LESTER, that was great.
