Time to say good bye to the old girl
« on: November 13, 2006, 03:38:23 PM »
Well, it looks like I'm going to be without an Aquasport, at least for a while.  Decided to sell the old girl while everything works - I have had a great time with this boat but I am really not up for a complete rebuild and although everything looks good and runs well now, it is just a matter of time before something major cuts loose.  So, I pulled her out of the water, cleaned her up and took some photos - they are in my gallery.  If anyone wants photos of any specific aspect, just let me know and I will try to oblige. I did look at some other Aquasports but haven't found one that makes we want to jump in again for the moment.  I'll still be an active aquasport.com member, assuming that's OK with all of you.  Cheers. Steve

That's true of most all boats...

Hang in there with us Steve. What's the worst that can happen - you get the Aquasport bug again?  :wink:
Edit: I looked at the new pix in your gallery and she's looking prime Steve.  No trailers there?
Edit2: ddd will be happy to see a CCP with coffin still in place  :D

I don't know, but somehow I see a 24 or 25 foot Aquasport in Steve's future...   Maybe a 246CCP?  As Solon said the Croesus, time will tell!   :wink:

Hey GoneFission,  you read my mind. I looked at several 250 CCPs but have been disappointed so far.  Either too much work to do or too much money - some people here seem to be putting their Aquasport's up for sale with price tags so high that they really are hoping NOT to part with them. I guess I can understand that.

Maybe put a few dollars into your boat to address your concerns.  Might be a lot less than buying another boat with new surprises up it's sleeve.
