Folks:

Thanks for all of the replies. I hate to sound like a commercial but due to the sheer volume of responses, I am going to try to make this email reply as a form letter.

Earlier, I had said that I can send pictures. Then, I couldn't find them. Now, my wife found a few that will give you a great idea of what is for sale.

Well, I know there is much more and I will be glad to answer questions. This boat is located in Galveston, Texas at the Marina Landing and Resort and her name is "St. Coralie". See "Cathy" in the office. DO NOT BOARD THIS VESSEL.

I wish that I could keep her but I am not getting younger PLUS SHE MUST BE SOLD THIS WEEK OR EARLY NEXT.

I am out of town but will have to return to dispose of the boat. The vessel needs a lot of tender, loving care. In other words, it will require a lot of work. On the other hand, one can wind up with a vessel that will take you anywhere very economically.

THIS IS NOT A CHROME AND GLASS BOAT TO SIT AT THE DOCK AND SIP COCKTAILS. iT IS MEANT TO GO AND GO HARD AND RELIABLY.

This vessel will either be sold this week or sold for scrap metal and parts. This is not savvy marketing but this is an emergency sale.

Very nice boat, I am glad that you had an opportunity to enjoy something like this.

Thanks, Iggy.

I appreciate your comment.

Well, it was a true experience that has benefited us greatly or should I make a pun and truthfully say that it has expanded our horizons beyond description.
