If you still own it around Oct 25/26th I may drive up to take a look.  Can you PM me an email address?

I'll be in Miami on a golfing trip but Ft. Lauderdale is a quick drive. 

The SeaRay is at Port Canaveral, near cocoa beach if thats the boat you want to look at its in dead storage right now. The Luhr's is in fort lauderdale.

Here's a boat for ya. This little dandy is called the "Jett Stream". It's owned by Hank Williams Sr. daughter, Jett Williams.

My family in Va. own a marine railway (same place that built the other boat I posted), and they build and repair boats. They've been in business since before the civil war. Anyway Jett Williams brought her boat in for some work several years ago and we was lucky enough to get a picture.

Man that is a fine looking boat right there, although I'd really hate having to deal with that much wood. I've been interested in house boats for some time (unless I win 100k i'd never get one) but few i seen had alot of work needed on wood areas.

I love carpentry, I actually thought if I did win some cash i'd certainly like a boat I can fix up (internally not mechanically wise).

And just today we closed on Elnora: 37' Pacific Seacraft "Crealock" cutter.  Not as fast but capable of taking me anywhere in the world I choose to go.

now that is lovely, and cutter rigged with a spinnaker pole - versatile too :aok

planning a RTW trip?

Not mine, but this is the last boat I worked on.. Been on board her two times so far. Once in Jacksonville and once in Ft. Lauderdale. It is currently owned by Beyonce and Jay-Z.. a mere 205feet long

I used to be a yacht mechanic at Hatteras of Lauderdale's custom yard.

Every couple of years, we would customize a new yacht which was named "big bad john".

In 1990, they didn't get a new yacht but rather had it refitted and customized further.

The luxury tax put a hurting on yacht yards.

The wife says we're going to "80 degrees".  She's talking temperature, not latitude.  Idea is south to Mexico then a right turn to the South Pacific.

I think I was 13 or 14 when my parents sold their 22' Catalina, now that little fast sucker was a blast to sail/race.

Hey man, that sounds like my kind of boat. Cheap, easy to get in and out and you can get to places that the big boys only dream about. Not to mention you can fill her up with gas, buy some beer and bait and fish all day for 30 or 40 bucks.  :rock

QFT right there. It's been through a LOT in the past 10 or so years that we've had it and it still runs great. :rock

I got a slight problem, just talked to my dad about it - and seems the company that was selling the boat decided to sell only Yachts - that or fact I refuse to let my boat get stored by them (Long story short but never let someone take care of your boat when trying to sell it, they wash and clean it and when the boat sells they tack on a very profitable fee for it)...

I'm going have to drive up to cape sometime and get someone else to list and sell it, its been on the market for a year at 20k, well below the market cost for the same year/model..
I'll post in the next few days and see what I can find out in coming days and ill post on here.
