The lovely Skagit 17 Express Cruiser that we bought from Chuck Carey some years ago will be sold soon. Here's the story. She, well, the 1986 Evinrude 50 hp. twin, let us down earlier this month. We took her to a boat shop to see what was wrong. The shop is booked far into the future so I got to thinking about updating the power plant. That lead to 4 stroke motors in the 60, 75, 90 and up range at prices around $5,000. The next step from there was, maybe we should look for a boat in that price range and gain a bit bigger boat for the bigger waters of the San Juans.
From there, it went to looking at a 1992 Blue Water Monte Carlo. Not a classic boat, in my opinion, but a different boat that has a cuddy and would suit us. So, we bought it. When we get Rosario home with a sound outboard (or perhaps, sob, no motor), she will be posted. No prices or pictures yet as we have to see where this is going.
Maybe this should be posted in "general" but it seems like a boat soon for sale, should be in classifieds. Watch this space in the coming weeks for pictures and price.
