2013 is over and I am back!

Post by classicf25 »

It has been good to say goodbye to 2013! My family suffered a tragic loss last year and I had to help. This tragedy and a new job forced me to fall off keeping up with my favorite forum. Looks like there has been some upgrades to the site and I see a lot of the solid supporters are still helping and contributing. What a great resource and excellent crew. Thank goodness!

Still running the pair of classic 1973 Trojans on the Gulf of Mexico and in the Tampa Bay area. The F25 is just about how I want her and the F30 will start getting more attention this year. Still can't decide which one to sell? Any suggestions?? Lots of room on the F30 for a family of 5 plus... The F25 is awesome but does not have the deck space of the F30. However the F25 has just had an extensive refit and is ready to run for many years. Including fresh 360 Chrysler power.
Decisions, decisions...

Happy New Year to All!

welcome back lawrence. my sympathies for your loss. when i'm in the tampa area again for a long layover, let's meetup. our hotel is in the westshore area of tampa, near the mall. i'd love to see your boats, as i'm probably going to have to downsize in the not too distant future. 'divorce' sucks. big time. not matter what side "one butters ones bread". WINK.

Welcome back , I too Have thought about down sizing , But every time i look at boats I look larger . So if I change I would end up up sizing . And right now my boat is running better then it ever has so I will stay with it .

Speaking of support it is 2014 :wink:

Its hard to choose what to sell sometimes. I'd stay with whatever one suits your needs the best at this time and sell the other. Use the sale money to get the remaining one just the way you want it and get out on the water with it.

Welcome back Lawrence,
Did you happen to see the F-30 that is for sale on Hwy 19 in New Port Richy? She needs a lot of tlc to bring her back.
