Will put together a better list next few days assistant out until Thursday she's got all the records. There is more stuff just cannot recall (only a lawyer would say "I cannot recall", huh?). Peter

CAT rebuilt the fuel delivery system and put in bigger racors, too. Think it was 02. Peter

So Peter, I'm not sure why you want to sell your boat? You lost your girlfriend and so now you want to get rid of the best chick magnet ever? You might want to rethink that one. Chicks dig boats and the best way to get over one is with another one...

As an impartial observer who has had the all too brief pleasure of meeting one of Frank P's female companions, I can attest to his superior knowledge of the subject about which he speaks! Frank B - IRGuy@aol.com "Phoenix" 1983 FBC Wilmington, NC

Thanks. I will get a different boat. Just don't want this one any longer. Can still close my eyes and see her coming out of the shower. Part of moving on. Peter L. Banis KNOT AGAIN Boston, MA

Peter, Sorry for your loss. Regards, Doug L. 1986 33 Bertram FBC Queen Elizabeth Marblehead, MA [img]http://www.bertram33.com/photogallery/p ... sabeth.jpg[/img]

Better to have boated and lost, than to never have boated at all Sean Burlingham "Island Time" 1987 Bertram 33 SF Melbourne, FL SBurlingham@cfl.rr.com [img]http://www.bertram33.com/photogallery/p ... d_Time.jpg[/img]

You have to move on my man, but sh!t, don.t let a women do that to you. Sell my boat, not me Wow Good luck pete, what ever you do. Mike

Peter.. I can relate to the emptiness of a lady departing, for any number of reasons, but as Mike said.. don't let a woman (or the departure of one) cause you to do something so serious as sell your boat. Take some time, get your head clear, and don't do anything extreme until you have breathed some fresh air for a few weeks/months. Things look different after a few weeks have passed. The boat is yours.. you and the boat haven't changed. Take some time to recover. Frank B - IRGuy@aol.com "Phoenix" 1983 FBC Wilmington, NC

tough situation, but I'd think about it first. This is a soft boat market - and you have a good boat. Take time before you do anything.

It was October 7, 2006. I think I've had enough time. Understand it is a soft boat market but it is a cream puff 33 with cats so it will surely do better on the market than a Sea Ray or worse!
