So all the way down to Newport Beach, I'm getting the lecture "don't look at bigger boats" etc, etc. As we're walking up and down the docks, Nancy disappears. As I double back, here she is on a 54 or 56 SUNSEEKER!. She's making a deal. Obviously, the boat is unbelievable, two bdrm/2ba or the marine equivalent also 2 660 hp MAN's and all the rest of the goodies plus an 11 foot Avon for the grandkids to putt around in. Isn't that nice.
Well back at the hotel, we go over all the +/-'s and by the time we go to dinner she's giddy with the thought of this, but now I'm wondering if we're not taking to big a bite.
The sea trials are Monday...

I think I saw you and your wife talking to the broker, I was on the next 'Seeker. What I liked most was the big power; MAN's, Cat's and Yanmars. For our situation, the fractionals was the way to go. See you on the water
