no. it sold the first day i showed it.

when the kids got their their driver's licenses, they had other things to do.

one era ends and another begins. that was the end of the river era and the beginning of the cruising era.

each era seems to last about 10 years.

I grew up in Yakima. Do you remember which company made that boat? If it was Min-Ti marina, they went out of bussiness a few years ago. Come to think it, if you did buy a boat there, my uncle may have sold you that boat.

it was a bellboy. i bought it in so cal. no one down here seemed interested in the boat because it didn't have 6 different colors, flame paint, and it rode in the water instead of on top.

down here, flash trumps quality.

Rick,

Nice! Looks a lot like the 19.5 ft. Grady-White I grew up with on Lake Erie. I also noticed the registry number begins with AZ. Was this picture taken in Arizona?
