I remember what "turn key" meant with the other boat. If you're serious about this one Tom, I'd put my name on it. I wasn't blowing smoke about buying it if I were looking. I know Erik and he's a stand up dude. He would pass off crap and call it something else. This boat is also faster than that Southwind was and I might even say cleaner too. I really like it a lot. PM me if you're serious about it, and maybe we can hook up and have a beer too since I don't live to far away from you now!
I hear you Brian. By the time I was done with that Southwind it was running and looking awesome. I think I told you my brother wouldn't take a NO and insisted on buying it from me. He has had nothing but good times with it and runs it up at Naciemento, San Antonio and the Delta. The Hallett would be a river runner for me at times but would also be ultimitely for my son. Sort of like a carrot to dangle in front of him and reward him for positive strides he has been making. Something to move towards. He is 19 and doing pretty well these days all things considering. I need to think about it and make sure this is something that won't backfire on me. I don't mean the condition of the boat but just maybe giving him too much. I totally trust your opinion Brian. That is not an issue and the boat looks very clean. The scoop looks a little much for me though but I like the colors and seat layout. About that beer....check your PM
TOM F: I will think about this and make up my mind this weekend if I want to seriously pursue the boat. If so I will get in touch with you next week. If it is sold by then I guess I snoozed and lost. Just want to make sure I am doing the right thing here more for my son than me. Right now I am just thinking of getting on the lake this weekend. I will discuss it with my son and see how he feels about it. I wonder what he will want me to do....lol You run straight pipes or do you baffle them?
... Too bad too cause it "sounded" like he was serious.
