Well, it looks like I sold the old cruiser. Guy came to look at it last night and I deliver her to her new home in Orlando Saturday. Went over it stem to stern but could not do the water test because there was a 15-20 knot wind and the river was rockin and rollin. I had no problem taking him out in that water and actually it would have been perfect to show him how she handles the rough stuff but the tide was going out and with 1 foot of water in my approach to the lift it would have been interesting to say the least. I'm sure I would have set her on the bottom a couple of times 
Soooo, I am gonna pull her down to Mousetown and meet up with him on a lake to do the water test. Then he'll hook her up and take her away. I am going to be Boatless Bank Trash (just like Mac:lol: ). Anybody wanna lay odds on how long it lasts? They say the 2 happiest days in boat ownership are the day you buy it and the day you sell it but I sure don't feel good about letting her go. Like Trep, I've got a lot of memories in that boat and it has been all over the country. I've hooked up with a lot of fishermen here and will still be on the water a lot but I'll just be in the backseat. I made my mind up that the rig was not going to go back to Virginia with me. The boat market is better down here and to be truthful, it is just time for me to get in a newer rig. I put her on 2 websites, here and one I visit here in Florida and I had a line waiting to look at her. The first guy who looked took her. I will keep the truck (which just rolled 100k). I've got some irons in the fire but I am in no hurry right now. I'll know when the right deal presents itself. The buyer is a young guy getting into local tournaments and this is his first bassboat...I hope she takes care of him the same way she has me. Never once in 10 years ever left me stranded on the water. Never once in 10 years failed to start (even in the winter), handled some of the roughest water I ever want to drive in and most of all caught a lot of fish and made me some money. I really do hate to see her go but it is time.........time for a bright shiny new rig :lol::lol::lol:
