Update. My new ship has come in...almost

[Tailgating is my game]

We came to terms yesterday after a brief negotiation. All it has to do is pass the survey & Sea Trial & she is ours. Found it up in MA last weekend. There were only about five boats left on the east coast that I wanted in my price range.

Almost time to set up the grill for some fresh steaks (Beef, Tuna or sword) on the water.

She is a 2002 23 Pro-line Walkaround fishing/family boat that is capable of going off shore on a good day (tuna ) or my favorite spot of Block Island. The Engine is a Mercury 225 Efi That sucks up gas & oil like my brother eats at a buffet. but she is reliable & easy to maintain. I will need to add Tabs, midships cleats, & radar but she comes with a good Garmin fishfiner, GPs & VHF radio. The best part is this boat comes with a donzi hull. Not all pro-lines do.

On my bucket list is a trip to Citi Field next year to see the Cardinals play the mets for a couple of days while I boatgate before & after the game. Between games a trip to "the statue" going through "hells gate"

Now we have to name her. All my names have been axed by my family   Foxtrot ll. (after genesis album), Mad Man Moon (genesis song), Red White & Blues (I know too long but i like it)  S.S. United States after my favorite ship, The Cardinal Way (after my favorite team). or the Red Bird after my two favorite teams AZ & Stl Cards.  Its about time (since it has been so long between boats lol) My wife did not like that one.

So it will be named after our two Goldens -  "Butterscotch & Pudding" I am sure when the kids vote 

Maybe the Hounds of the sound

I really can't wait to fire up the Magma grill on this puppy.


I almost forgot my wife said no more BBQ equipment for ten years

I LOVE IT!! Very nice boat. WAY outta my price range. I am thinking about naming my boat "Empty Wallet" lol

I know a good name but it may be foreboding...."Up In Smoke" as an homage to your grilling passion.

Speaking of Genesis, why not name it "Home By The Sea"?

[Roget]

The best name I ever saw on a boat was "Shebrokeus"
