fin-addict Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Interesting story. Was reading my local neighborhood forum where things are asked, discussed and more. Came across a post from a women my age who just split from her boyfriend. Looking for Captain, non paid for her boat to take her out for day, weekend cruisers or more. Had several responses, chose me due to my background, experience and that I have a companion so she is not alone with a strange man. She knows NOTHING about the boat except handling lines somewhat and how to turn the AC on maybe, lol. Has owned it for a year. My perk is I get to run a large boat again and use it when I want without her aboard. She is a 1990 42’ Chris Craft 427 Catalina Aft Cabin MY almost just like the Hyatt I use to Capt. She’s running twin 3208 Cat TA’s. Including a few photos took yesterday while meeting her and checking boat out. Know you guys are photo hungry 😂. If really wanting to see some real good photos. Google, Whimsea Yacht. A brokers listing will come up. Curtis Strokes Brokers. As you can tell by my photos she needs a good cleaning. She is going to be detailed ASAP. 😀👍⚓️🏆 fin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fin-addict Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Haven’t run a boat this size in 20 years, felt like it was just yesterday. Docking was a snap. Concerned I may have lost the touch and did not want that to show. Vain about that 😂. Love slipping a big boat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She needs a complete detailing to show like listing photos. Pricing may be around 75k. Will not be broker listed, FSBO to start so saving on commission costs.

Finn, we had a 35’ Bertram with Cat 3208 TA’s and an old Island Hopper with a single 3208 NA....and those are great and very reliable engines. We moved up to a refurbished 45’ Hatteras with MAN 10’s @ 1000 HP each and never looked back after that . JJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
