As you may have seen on my other post I am looking at replacing a boat. Looked into some others but ,not as comfortable as with the Mac.
It may seem like rushing it a bit but I am not going to waste a good summer of sailing , when I don't have to.
Don't mind driving a couple or three hundred miles to get what I want.
Thanks

Hated to read the tornado story!! I was on the phone the other day to my friend NE of Tulsa and I could hear tornado warnings over his radio as we spoke. Not good.

On the boat, why not increase the search area to 500-600 miles? That would be a day drive/stay overnight/ and then back. Ours was over 400 miles away, but we didn't drive a mile. My friend in Phoenix that looked at it brought it to us for a couple nights lodging at the house in return. Where we are we think nothing of a 500-600 mile trip, Walmart is over 90 miles away one way.

I don't know if you have it, but here is a link to Craig's List nationwide and you can regionalize it also. We found our Mac this way....

Looks like there might be 3 in the Denver area. Not that bad of a drive from OK. Good luck,

Well, this 26S is about 800 miles away...

Looks pretty nice and the new outboard is a $1800-$2000 deal by itself vs. buying a boat that might need one and the electric start is a great safety feature.

Hopefully a person is going to keep a boat a while, so a longer trip to get the right one might not be that big of a deal. We were about ready to drive to south Texas, 1400 miles, and to LA, 700 miles to look at some boats about the time we found ours in Phoenix.

At the time I didn't know anyone on these boards. For someone who posts or lurks here they might find someone that lives close to a boat for sale that wouldn't mind giving it a quick look to see if it was fairly represented in an add. If that works then go look at it yourself.

c ya,
