| New boat in 12? It’s the new year – nearly February already. Not tax time yet and possibly I should wait until after taxes to post this, but: How many here are going to take advantage of the buyer’s market with a new boat this year? My finances are ok, not as good as I had hoped, but ok. Instead of larger, I’m looking at a newer 18 or 19’ center console with a single smaller outboard for day trips this year without burning so much gas. What are others planning for 2012?  |

| Hey 'FMS' - think you might have allowed more than 1 answer, eh? To you have a grand & fab 2012. When I get a money problem sorted in Canada - I'm buying a 40 tri to go cruising - it's in the Philippines. Add some 'smart' gear & off-I-go cruising. At 72 this Val's day - I'd better hurry up cause I might forget what I wanted to do. ah ha ha, Ciao, james |

| If I win lotto (a share will do, - Au$200,000), then I will sell CNO and rebuild based on the same hull lines and weight.... Just fiddle with a few minor details...

| Finishing up one kayak soon and will be starting another soon after that. If I get good at this I might even start two new boats this year.
