Ouch. Better things will come. Keep the faith.
For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

Kinda gives me a lump in my throat. I sold my most favorite motorcycle I have ever owned, ridden, or seen after an accident which made it quite hard to ride, and even hearing the name, still brings a tear to my eye.



Seth,
It was a bad deal.I got "HOSED"! I priced it at 6200 to just dump it,but the guy offered me 5200 cash money.It kinda pssed me off,I was so sick at the time at was not in control except for the price.My dad,which I am good now,gave him all the equipment,ski ropes(4)life vests,skis,a huge tool set that my brother n law gave me for x mas one yr and much more for 5200.It was about 1000 bucks of stuff that should have been taken out and was not.I jumped down dads throat cause there was a life jacket he wore in the 80's cypress gardens and wooden cypress garden ski that meant alot to me that I had kept just for memories and they where gone.So he decided to give them away.After listening to dad's reasoning, I understood where he was coming from.He didnt know whether I was going to live or die.But it is allright,I am fine with it now.This you can not control. The deal is done and gone and just look forward to the next one.

Lake Austin is completely overgrown right now so no much foiling above the 360 bridge and noe past City Park. I'm actually on my way to Ft Worth right now to meet some friends and ride my new set up. Sucks the closest driver I can find is 200 miles.

Kevin I do somewhat agree. At first when you look at something, you think WO! But the more and more I look at the pics, they are starting to grow on me. The only ones if I said I dislike is on the vents.

He might have Dave. He sells hot rods down there in Austin.Pretty neat website.

And my point was the pinstripes are not for me, but it is his so thats fine. I am glad he is happy.

Thanks Dave and Dreaming. Yea pinstripes could go. I am with you and Pete and others, “Keep it original". It is sometimes disgusting when people buy these older boats and ruin them with pin stripes, towers, etc. Now if you buy a boat with a tower on the boat then great, but don’t trash them if they don’t have it. I am glad though it went to a good home and owner. It makes the seller sick if you find out down the road the boat has gone to
st and not taken care of. Out in the weather etc. She was a beauty and a pure beast. But I try to be optimistic and know there is a better one waiting.
