Another victim of the Fly Bridge Bandit?
haha- gotta agree- she looks kinda odd without the bridge on!
1) Red kayak definitely not part of the deal. Kids would NOT be happy about that.
2) She's going back to her roots- coast of NJ. So she'll be back to her home waters (silverton's are made in NJ for those that don't know).
I am really surprised they took the entire bridge off. I got the buyer in touch with a local hauler who has a custom trailer they built specifically for sedans. He's hauled this exact same model to NE before in the past and while most haulers do have to take the bridge down, his trailer is low enough to only require the radar arch and bimini taken down. I can't imagine what it's costing to completely disassemble the ENTIRE bridge and will be interesting to see how she fits back together. I'm heading over there tomorrow to show a few boats (got 4 written offers on 4 differnt boat listings this week alone!) to some buyers so I am going to have to say goodbye to her one last time tomorrow. Buyer told me they are renaming her "knot on time" so if you see her around up there make sure he's taking care of our baby!
Oh yes...and for the record...she honestly did not list to either port or starboard! Some boats naturally aren't balanced in the water due to whatever design issue but for the record- she always sat squarely in the water unless i got lazy and didn't climb down in the lazarette to switch the fuel manifold for intake on the gennie and tanks got imbalanced.
However, it IS true that Walter's boat lists horribly to port but he refuses to admit it.

And here I thought he was on the installment plan and would get the bridge after making the appropriate number of payments.
hahaha
Vic- yes- we're shopping. Lots of incredibly great deals out there. I have no regrets about selling our boat and we are extrmely exicted about the stuff we are looking at. If I was really smart I'd sit this summer out and not get another boat but I don't think I can resist even though I think the market is going to continue to decline for a while more.

Lol Riverbed!
BTW, I sent those engine room pics to literally the recongnized best expert in all of north america for that make/model engine- kind of scary what all he saw just from those pics that I am oblivious to! I'll send it to you when I'm back in the office monday. Still thinking about that one but found some others that appear to be much better mechanically at good prices.
The funny thing is I went by the marina today to show some boats (got all 4 of the offers on the 4 boat listings accepted so now 4 boats under contract in just 4 days- crazy!!). There was a 53 carver pilothouse in the service yard that someone has imported to Lake Lanier. I was shocked- that is a HUGE boat for lanier- entire bridge was off and they were putting her back together.
