A little boredom set in

A little boredom set in so Kadizzle drove down to the marina.  As always there was someone to chat up. Guy A told Kadizzle to talk to guy B.  Riki was selling a forty three foot boat. Kadizzle wanted to get an idea what boats sold for so off we went to look at the boat.  It was an 80's something Hershoff.  In its day it was probably a pretty fancy boat, but it looked like it had been rode hard and put away wet as they say.  Ricki said he had been living on the boat with his wife and two kids.  The boat needed a lot of work, but you could probably get it for 25,000 American.   However, there is no way Kadizzle would take on the fixup this thing would require.  It has seen it's day.  Riki came across a deal he could not resist on a bigger boat so now he is in a pickle with two boats to feed.  The whole experience was good for Kadizzle.  It was a great reminder of how many headaches a boat can create.  You could see on Ricki's boat that one cobbled together thing led to another.  If Kadizzle bought the boat he would rename it the Mayday.  In summary the best boat is one that belongs to someone else.  We will try to live by that as long as possible.
