By the time the boat was delivered, all I cared about was the boat not the when. The boat was properly loaded and arrived in perfect condition. I tend to be forgiving of some details -- in this case time. Also, I found that at least some of the reasons given for the late arrival were true and...

Hi Larry, Your experience and sentiment certainly is more consistent with what is out there on the web than mine. Greg

Hi Larry -- I know you are right. I do feel torn because, based on our contact, we liked Big Tim, and he did a good job for us. The nightmare was always in my own mind and never in reality. Heck, the people at our boatyard liked him. Had I not discovered the distressing info, we would...

I started to put this on the thread about getting the new boat home. Then I realized this is probably too long to be appropriate there – or perhaps anywhere on the site. But I can’t resist. Your misfortune is that I cannot think of a better audience for a story I have been dying to tell. The...

Boris, It depends on a person's point of view. For those who do not believe NASA really went to the moon, but do believe the Kennedy assassination involved a conspiracy that was covered up, as were alien landings in New Mexico, and furthermore believe the secrets of other complex conspiracies...

This boat has been sold to kbc. I will let Ken and Helen introduce themselves on the site. Nancy and I had a great time meeting them and spending time with them when we delivered the boat to them at Elephant Butte Lake in New Mexico. Thanks to Tyboo and Da Nag. The boat was sold as a result...

I'll offer a strong second to Joe's recommendations. I'm floating on the Oakland Estuary as I write this, and it is a beautiful evening. One of the benefits of Joe's suggestion for launching in Alameda for the type of trip you are planning is not only do you bypass a potentially sloppy trip...

We would sure like to get this great boat sold to someone who will enjoy her. Several items that have been listed as included at the right price will now go with the boat no matter what the sale price is. These would essentially include everything mentioned except the Breville oven and the...

Given the direction of the thread, I feel a need to put in a pitch for our boat here even though Jim and I are already in contact. I truly believe Nan-C -- listed as the 2007 CD25 in Alameda, CA/IA -- to be a great value in terms of quality and price. I can tell you that our asking price of...

I contend a single 150 is the only way to go! However, in the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that Tom and I have been in contact, and I want him to buy my boat. :) Regards to all, Greg

Charlie -- You are correct -- it is Italian. Our lever broke a couple of years ago when we were in the Keys. While I was unsuccessfully trying to cobble something together at a hardware store, a clerk sent me to a local boat supply store. When I asked about putting something together, the...

We recently purchased an 8' Gig Harbor hard dinghy. We have not had a chance to use it yet, but by all reports it is a great rower. While it is our intention to row it -- my wife is adamant -- this thread adds to my suspicion that the small Honda is in our future. The interesting thing about...

I don't know if there is anyone else huda thunk it -- and I'm probably wrong -- pretty darn elaborate for a joke, then again, some alter egos get a kick out of provoking bad C-Brat behavior -- but this gentleman sounds more like Martin's doryling cousin than LeRoy Avila who is a pistachio farmer...

I too speak in praise of both Pacific trailers AND double axles. We have been very satisfied with the trailer -- well-built, loads well, travels well. Even more exceptional has been the service and customer relations. Sam at the Northern California facility in Newark is a great guy to work...

The February 2010 issue of Soundings has an article on p. 23 written by my youngest brother detailing his experience replacing the teak decks on his Tayana 42 trawler with fiberglass. Oldest brother was much impressed. Greg

Peter, Thanks so much for stepping in. I'm away from home babysitting grandkids and just saw this. Karl, I hate to see you kicking yourself downline. Keep in touch. Regards to all, Greg

The current price of this immaculate boat does not give me much room to negotiate, but I can add a few items if we can get the right price for the boat. The items that could be added could include: * Honda 2000 -- like new, fewer than 10 hours * Delta 22# anchor * Breville toaster oven, very...

I forgot the grill. The list of what could be included at the right price includes a brand new, unused Magma Newport grill -- very nice. This grill was on the Camano we bought, and we are choosing to keep our Magma Catalina. Greg
