Sea change: Handy selling at last?

LaRea

Right, so the sea trial was today on Handy's diesel 342.  I know any sea trial is at best a 25% chance, but supposing it sells.  What's next for Handy?  Someday, it will no longer be certain that Handy will chime in with "diesel is better."  Will the forum be the same?

What???????

Handymans342

You guys wont believe this. The people that have contracted to buy my boat should not own a boat. They dont know what outdrives are, dont know what trim tabs are, nothing!!!  I dont know What to do

Handymans342

Sea trial and survey was flawless. Just what I expect from any Rinker owner on here!

There buying diesel  that tell ya something.

21 foot center console with a 175 diesel out 

Handy most people that get in to boating don't think about the boat they think about going across the water with the wind in their hair.
 Like my kids with their cars if it starts and runs I can just go any where.

I'd say raise the price!

As they pull away from your dock and you’ve got the money in the bank, instead of yelling “call me anytime”, yell “seatow is a great investment”

The first time they pull up to the fuel dock, they'll probably fill up with gasoline.

So Handy, i would have assumed your buyers wanted your boat because it is a very rare diesel cruiser. If they don’t know what they are getting, why your boat?

I would buy it but diesel to me is inboards not I/o
i absolutely love taking my brother in laws 14ft beam sea ray express out 
that thing turns on a dime and backing into a dock is easy

After it went on the market a few weeks back, we had instant calls and showings. They knew they wanted a diesel boat and smaller than what they used to have which was a 42 straight shaft diesel. They have never heard of a Rinker or Yanmar diesels. My last boat I sold was an even more bizarre story. 

LaRea

Handy, how long will you be boatless?  Anybody knows it's illegal to live in your neighborhood and not own a boat.

I have a land yacht

......another diesel :-(

So you coming to Michigan for the winter lmao

With that nice lift and cover over it, I'd think you would want some type of boat there.  Even if it is smaller just to take out for the day.  If you'd made that lift a bit bigger, you could have ole Dream 'Inn on that lift for the winters!

My grandparents had a great house on a canal on Estero in Ft. Myers Beach. Great boathouse with lift. When they decided to get out of boating, they always found someone that lived close but not on the water to rent the lift to so that it didn't sit empty.

That crossed my mind.

My boat never smoked or smelled. Conspiracy theory.

For a moment there I thought he was talking about Handy....

Well, if living there with no boat isn't illegal, it's certainly immoral.  I'm willing to wait and see what shows up in the lift.  

Handymans342

I am out of boating for good. The pleasure does not overcome the work and lack of time to use it. Complete and utter waste of money. 

GMSLITHO

How long have you been boating 

Handymans342

On and off 35 years

GMSLITHO

You don’t need a boat if you have friends with boats .

randy56

You must not enjoy it as much as the rest of us, It's been 10 days for me, not being on the water, My legs are not right, the earth is to solid, you'll come back. LaRea is correct, living where you do and having what you have and NO BOAT immoral,  therapy is for you. Is it not the reason you moved there? At least you can put one of your Kayak's out there.
