Reply to: Beachcats for big people, a solicitation for advice

[quote=erice]i saw an ad once for an old boat "cheap or free" went round to see the guy and it was pretty much a basket case, so i told him i would only be interested if it was free, he said ok so i asked him where all the parts were and if he could give me a hand rig it as it had sat in storage for many years, we rigged it all up and he was looking very wistful so i told him to go take it out for a good sail he did and when he came back asked me if i was interested instead in a half share i said, like what?, i fix it all up and maintain it and you sail it whenever you want, no thank you! so he said, fine you can't have the boat i walked off in disgust at the end of the season as it was now sailable, only just, he sold it to a newbie for a $300 the noob struggled with it all the next year and then put it back in storage when he realised what a piece of crap it was..... moral of the story if you can afford it buy a boat of your own <!-- editby --><em>edited by: erice, Jun 12, 2010 - 06:30 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
