Just Stopped by to Say Hi.....

.... and wish all my CS buds a great Labor Day weekend! No, I haven't found my dream boat yet and am still working w boats that are a good fit logistically and financially (...and maritally). Just got rid of the O'Day DS2. Nice boat, but a bit tender for my tastes. I'm admittedly spoiled after owning a C-20.
Newest find was a giveaway '69 Newport Holiday 20. I can't sit down (Indian style just isn't my thing anymore) and read a paper in her or have breakfast, but I can at least get my fat dupa through the cuddy door without greasin' it first and even lie down if I wish.
(if you're curious:)

The first thing I do is get on the web and find the most active discussion board I can about this boat to get the goods on 'er (There were under 200 H20's made, so the knowledge base is kinda thin and quiet, but I'm trying to change that). Anyway, who do I see as a Newp Holiday20 P.O. but Mr. lecker68! (Lyle, if you're still out there, and you read this, I may want to pick your brain at some point
) The H20 is a very nice little boat in my estimation. Easy 'n stable (but I'm still biding my time for my next Chrysler Cruiser)....speaking of....
...., Right after I pick up the H20, I saw Mr. Saurliegh's C26 available here! My eyes bugged out and my heart started pounding when I first saw his post! Tested the waters as far as how much the wif would take, but a 17, a 20 and a 26 footer in the driveway would have definitely sent her over the edge, LOL and darn, darn, darn!
So here I am today, happy... and still hunting for my dream boat!
Again, have a great LD CS guys and gals,
