So here are the rules.....if you have inside info you cannot guess. You can guess anything from the style of boat, manufacturer, and even exact model if you wish. Hopefully the good Cap'n will drop us some hints. :D

I"m guessing the Cap'n is leaving express cruisers and moving to something like a sedan bridge or trawler type boat.

I don't have any guesses but in another thread there was the hint that "now is a good time to trade in your boat."

Now that you mention it he has always said the 328 is one of his favorites!
Something like this? http://skipperbuds.com/Page.aspx/diid/3286202/list/InventoryList/pageId/9033/view/Details/2003-Four-Winns-328-Vista.aspx

I think I remember him saying something about working with Skipper Bud's?

They've had that one for quite some time.....price dropped about 10k since I looked at it. I wonder if they got the gel fixed.

I agree they have had that 328 for quite a while.

My wife and I looked at what would appear to be that same boat about three years ago at the same Skipper Buds location. It still had the liquor bottles in one of the cabinets at that time.

By now though, I bet the sales staff found a way to dispose of the liquor. :)

Mike.

I tried to get it out of Cap'n Morgan, he isn't talking. I think it's a sail boat. Dan

You guys are funny. A blow boat ??? Seriously ??? As much as I like sailing, I can't see ever owning a sailboat that size. Maybe a Hobie cat, but that's all.

A Spanish Galeon ?? Hmmmmm, I would consider a Polish Galeon, like the Galeon 330 Fly.Like this one.

But the closest one for sale is in Croatia. I suspect it's hard to get any dealer support for a Galeon here in Michigan. :wink:

Keep up the good guesses !

All of a sudden, I have a keen interest in Polish girls....not sure about their diet of bananas, limes and water though.
