Me - Again

[Grafunkus]

Looks like I might need to change or add to my name. We sold our Carver 3365 Mariner, Grafunkus, last fall. Didn't think it would so hard to find a replacement boat but WOW, what a journey this year was. After looking at a few different boats, we contacted someone from a year ago to see if he might be interested in selling his 1997 Chris Craft Continental. What a stylish boat!! Yes he was as long as he was able to get a replacement boat of his dreams. Well, two failed tries - wouldn't want his journey!! It was a NO!! Back to our search. Answered an ad on Kijiji within 4 hours of it being posted. Doing a sea trial on a 1985 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin on Saturday!! Don't expect any problems. We will leave it docked where it currently lives and winter in the local spot. Will move it to our preferred location in Kenora ON in the spring. On that note, we had a very expensive parking spot we only used a couple of times this season!!!! Anyhoooo the new(ish) boat has the sleeping configuration we were looking for. Lots of upgrades, hardwood in the salon, bow & stern thrusters, all 200 ft of rode is chain, new fridge, convection toaster oven etc. Looking forward to an ensuite - I don't even have one at home!!! Possession date on Sept 1, we start some holidays on Sept 5. Looking forward to getting down and dirty to learn the new boat named John Bouy. I hope i didn't just jinx this!!

Congratulations and I hope all goes well.

Thanks all. At least the weather is supposed to be pretty decent. Looking forward to trying the thrusters!!!

All went well. It was a beautiful day on the water. We are now proud owners of a 3607 Aft Cabin. Possession date Sept 1. On holidays Sept 5.

Talk about lack of boats for sale, I was at the marina yesterday, and a couple walked up my dock and asked me if I had any interest in selling. My Mariner was exactly what they were looking for as a live aboard. CBTL is not for sale yet, but I now have 2 very interested parties when I do put her up. Good luck with Jim Buoy! er

Congrats!! I also have a 3607 but NO THRUSTERS! I'm a bit jealous!! You'll love the boat.

One cool thing that you can joke about is that you have a boat with a BATHTUB in it. Not too many can say that.
