Default I had to come back and say HELLO !!!!!!

Well friends at WV20, after years of hiatus from power boats ( I forgot when I posted last ), but it must be over 5 years, waters are finally settling down, winds are calm, and I got the Power Boat Bug again !!!
I sold my beloved V20 for reasons above me, and got a Hobie Cat and sailed for a few years, but this year, I am crazy about power again !!!!
I want to thank all the good Comrades here who were so nice to me on those days, tough days of violent winds and big waves, you guys helped me out with good advise and a place to chat and keep calm.
THANKS TO ALL, and although I might not get a V20 again, but who knows, I will hang around here and help others if I can, the same way you guys helped me !!!
My first choice now...... a Wellcraft WA, which I am looking for.
Remember all, you have got a friend in the Caribbean, I still work at the Airport in San Juan P.R., just drop me an email and I will try to be there and shake your hands and help !!!!!
Juan

Welcome back Juan.

Good luck with your search for a W/A Wellcraft.

Is it hard to locate a Wellcraft in Puerto Rico?

Not really, the only thing is I want to get a new motor/s, so I am looking at hulls with no motor, which is an impossible mission. And 99.99999% of the boats here, have motors older than Mathuselah, the newest motors are 98`s. You know, the hull can be old.
I have worked HARD this past 7 years, I finished the old humble house, paid it in full, and finally I can have one luxury, a new motor/s.
So, I am waiting for a good deal, like really good deal, so I can take the old motor/s out, and stick new one/s in there. I live humbly, but is time I get me a gift !!!
I will love to have a Wellcraft, I love the lines of the newer ones, specially the 21 CC, what a beauty. I will almost for sure get a WA, cause I want to do overnights like I did on the V20, but I want more space as I will be doing hops to the U.S. V.I`s ( St. Thomas, Tortola, Culebra, etc ).

Perhaps you guys don`t realize how much you did help me. I moved to a new town far from home, had no friends and lots of "ballast" and situations, even had to sell the V20. It was tough, but those good comments, the feeling of opening a web page and finding a couple of notes on a Thread, advise, support, or a joke or two, can make a big difference in a hurting man`s life. I hope you guys never go through those kinds of waves in life.
Well, here I am, alive and kicking, and the ones who read my cries and punched some letters on one of my threads, are part of my recovery. Cheers to that !!!!!!
THANKS TO ALL, now is my turn to pay forward.

Yeah, and how about a few pictures of that house you fixed up? I think you posted a few when you were just getting started and it looked like it could use some work - would like to see what you did with it.
