    Fire suppression system shuts down engines and gensets- no oxygen in the engine room.

    I mean, my post you quoted I said it needs new running gear. What happened is the definition of a soft grounding with a boat that size. New props, shafts, rudder, trim tabs, etc. is a dent in their annual maintenance budget. Plus it’s insured. No big deal at all. Fire suppression system may be a bigger issue depending on if there was actually a fire or not.

    Hate seeing that. Fortunately that soft sand on the beach won’t really cause very much damage. New running gear and clean out the intakes and it’ll be good to go.

    Wish I was there but I’m rocking the Burnt Endz koozie down in CR.

    Yup. Costa Rica wants their share if you don’t do that. Funds go into escrow. It’s a weird deal where the seller’s agent drives the boat out and then you take pictures and video of the signing of the documents along with you coordinates on the GPS and a newspaper with the current date. Takes like 5 minutes then they hand you the “keys” to the boat and you get to drive it home.

    Did an offshore closing this morning 13 miles out of Los Suenos then got her home to Marina Pez Vela in Quepos this afternoon. Have no idea how 99% of the stuff works on this boat yet but I’m down here for about 9 days to start figuring things out. Name change can’t take place until the paperwork is done down here which may take a few months. In the meantime the old name works just fine for a CR boat. IMG_2595.mov

    So it only took us one game to get kicked out of the collaboration? Sounds about right.

    Not real sure why I’ve never heard any specific problems other than the fit and finish isn’t that great. I didn’t mean it had a Luhrs reputation or anything. It may be just that all of their previous models are smaller than what is needed in the Gulf and too heavy/slow for fishing down south. it’s an interesting concept in that you don’t have many boat builders producing convertible boats in that size range. As for Spencer, they are minimum 3 years out on build times and I don’t think will make anything smaller than a 70’ anymore. Most people love them but they built a few that were nothing but problems. The ones I have been on have been fantastic boats with a price to match.

    See y’all wherever it is.
  10. justhookit
    Yeah interested to see how that one goes. Serious fisherman in my parts of the world love Spencers but really look down on Albemarles.

    There were enough idiots to go around. Port A was packed.

    It was a good time at Shorty’s. Surprisingly not that crowded considering it was the eclipse and the Pig Party but we left fairly early so maybe it got busier. Round 2 starts this afternoon at the house. Fajitas and margaritas with some good friends.
  13. justhookit
    It took almost 2 weeks, but we’ve finally got the great October weather. @MissingInAction is coming down for the weekend, I’m thinking Shortys for the eclipse if anyone wants to go have a few beers.

    Just got back from a short trip to Costa Rica to check out the boat and do a sea trial. 32 knot cruise and top end at 41. Surveys are complete and it passed with flying colors. Discovered a hidden bar and ice maker in the saloon that wasn’t in the listing or pictures, it’s like they built the boat just for me. Closing is set for the end of the month.

    Love this country. In town for a few days in Los Suenos. Flew in last night and got my fill of Imperial Light and Chileguaro, marina day today, tomorrow taking a boat ride to Quepos and back.
  16. justhookit
    I’m always in for a happy hour if I’m in town.
  17. justhookit
    Yeah, same time frame in CR with some friends we rented a 6 bedroom Villa that was about 1000 a night. Three bedroom in SJDS for 350 was a good deal, especially if it had a view. On the other hand anything in Los Suenos is ridiculously expensive it’s the most expensive place in CR. Headed there tomorrow and managed to find a condo for 150 a night which is a steal even in the off-season.

    Damn, sorry I’m going to miss this one. Y’all have a great time.
  19. justhookit
    Yeah, don’t really know any boats that don’t have a name anywhere I’ve been. Sure, a 17 foot skiff may not have a name but a lot of my friends with boats like that have a name they call it and most have that name somewhere on the boat side. As far as tbone’s size boat they all have a name around here.
  20. justhookit
    Yes there is definitely a superstition that renaming a boat is bad luck. I’ve heard various fixes for that, including breaking a bottle over the bow like fatty mentioned. But my favorite is having a virgin urinate over the bow of the boat.
  21. justhookit
    Thanks everyone. We did a shaggy trip back when I had the old boat in Port A so hopefully some of y’all can make it down to do one in Costa Rica soon.
  22. justhookit
    Tree fiddy. Boat prices have gone bonkers the last few years as you know, but I feel like I got a really good deal on this one.
  23. justhookit
    Y’all still have the invite.
  24. justhookit
    Viking. As much as I wanted to pull the trigger on a custom I just couldn’t justify it so went with another Viking. My experience with their boats has been excellent.

    Good meeting your wife and you again too. And meeting for the 3rd time in the club. See y’all at one of the next ones. Thanks @immamac as always and @MissingInAction and @Nicole44 pleasure as always.
