We "bubbleheads" spent years on boats that sank on purpose so don't expect us to be normal.
 
I'll stick with the "LADY J" she's beautiful and classy just like my wife whom she's named after….. but when were able to spend 6 months a yr in Naples we'll get the 22' Center Console.

Thanks Greyman…… believe it or not it's a 2009. It's a Giesler built exactly the way they built them in 1920, in Powasson Ontario Canada near North Bay. I grew up fishing Lake Nippising and the French River with my dad. All the lodges up there used big cedar strip tiller steer Giesler boats. I always loved them. They handle so much better than a typical 14' aluminum. Especially when things get rough. When this popped up locally for sale through an estate there was no doubt I was buying it. She turns heads everywhere and I always get asked how old she is.
 
I really feel sorry for Jeff Bezos - NOT.

He just had a Super Yacht built which the boat maker didn't pay attention to it size. It is so big it cannot make it out of Rotterdam harbor, cannot go under bridge. Boat builder was going to dismantle the bridge, the citizens put a stop to that idea.

Now Bezos can fly one of his jets to Rotterdam and party on his docked super yacht.

Cost for yacht $500 million.

Do you have any idea what $500 million could do for building homes for the homeless, caring for our veterans, cancer research, alzheimer's research, Children's Hospitals and on and on.

General (Then colonel) George S. Patton commissioned John Alden, one of America's greatest designers, to conceive him a boat to be build by F.F Pendleton of Wiscasset, Maine in 1939

Many have seen a copy of the letter the then LTC Patton sent from Fort Shafter in Hawaii to S&W when he ordered his Registered Magnum.

If you were wondering how Patton made the PCS move, he bought a 52-foot schooner, had it shipped from New England to California, and spent a month sailing with friends to his new post in Hawaii.

Thanks, I did not know this.
I'll hold my thoughts about his death.
