Deal Closed! Cruisers 390 SC

raybo3

@Liberty44140 I am going to have to agree with Handy. Now that you own a Cruisers and you are clearly a Rinker hater I am going to have to ban your a$$.............

Liberty44140

Lol Ray, I’ve got that on screen shot now, you agreeing with Handy 

Ian

Yeah, get out....

Great vessel @Liberty44140, she looks sweet. The renaming I am all for except for pouring out a bottle for the gods - seems a waste of wine to me.

Don’t you dare leave us, you need to teach those Cruisers guys how to host a forum.

Don’t speak too soon though -  a @Handymans342 will be lurking there somewhere......

Nowhere have I seen where you have to pour it out. Except in a glass. And drink it. Any right thinking god will surely see the merit in That!

@Liberty44140 Always been a big fan of Cruisers.....they are very nice boats and have real good layouts. Beautiful boat, enjoy!!

This one keeps popping up whenever I look at boats on eBay.

Thanks Dan. Yea Aero that 42 is a nice craft.... a lot more $$$ than the 390 that’s for sure. While I’d love the convenience in docking of pods, for a mid to late 2000s boats I had to have shafts....

I misspoke - champagne, not wine:

In grateful acknowledgment of your munificence and dispensation, we offer these libations to your majesty and your court. (Pour at least half of the bottle of Champagne into the sea from East to West. The remainder may be shared with your friends.)

Bahahahahaha cant we all just get along???? I cant ban Lib without banning you. Neither one of you own a Rinker............ Just say'n 

Handymans342

Yeah I'm just boatless. He switched brands!!!!

RiverRat232

Beautiful boat. I am officially jealous.

Dream_Inn

Nice looking boat! I do remember when I was waiting for my boat to be shipped.  Yours I'm sure will be a longer wait, but well worth it.  Enjoy!

bry1429

Congratulations!
Its absolutely SWEEEEEET! 

Liberty44140

Lol thanks for letting me stay Ray. Handy I think everyone here will agree that it’s still a boat.... you sunk way lower than a brand change.... you went RrrrrrrrrrrrrV   Happy about the fuel price drop but her tanks are 85% full and she carry’s 300 gal so I’ll be good for a while! 

Liberty44140

Oh and one thing I was looking at on the name change ceremony was that WM sells a Champaign bottle full of sparkling water in a bag and the bottle is extra thin and scoured so it breaks super easy and it’s only $15 so I may do that. As a kid I remember going to a friends dads christening, he spent years restoring a 19’ 50s Chris craft. All wood, gorgeous. Took the wife a few hits on the bow ton break the bottle, I’ll never forget his face with each dent in the metal chromed bow piece. Ouch

Handymans342

Hey Lib, let us know the fuel burn on those diesels. Everyone on here wants a diesel boat they just wont admit it publicly. LOL

Liberty44140

LOL I’ll PM it to you Handy  

LaRea

What would a pirate like Handy drive if he had no boat?  An Arrrrr-vee.

Liberty44140

And that my friends is what happens when you’ve been locked in the house for two weeks...... good stuff LR!!!

And I thought you had no humor after the fire LOL

randy56

I don't anybody will be hitting my vessel with a bottle. The chris craft guy  should have known. 

Black_Diamond

That is a nice Cruisers. Congrats!

still waiting for a 540SC to drop price here. 😁. Maybe this market disaster will make for some desperate sellers. A guy can dream!

Ian

Selfishly I have been waiting/hoping for the same thing.....

Liberty44140

Thanks guys. Hey anything is possible, right now boats are still shockingly selling and low inventory continues to be a problem but I’d have to think this will loosen up the market quite a bit when people can get to their boats.... BD the 54 is sweet! My challenge was finding a freshwater boat of this year range without pods. These builders love their pods! 

bry1429

Hi Liberty, how was your sea trail yesterday?  All good I hope, loaded on truck and headed home ?

Liberty44140

Hey Brian, it is next Thursday May 7. Looking forward to getting her home, truck can't come until May 18th so she will sit in Chicago until then (hopefully indoors). Moving slow but I cant complain.

@Liberty44140 Congrats on your new boat. It looks awesome.
We plan on doing some Lake Erie boating this year out of Marblehead or Catalpa. Can I call on you for lodging and docking location advice?
