I found this by the road. Well, OK it was at a house......

The previous owners are sad to see it go though smiling bravely

Can I keep it??? Please?!?!? I'll clean up after it, and take it for boat rides.

Can I?? Can I??
OK, May I?

Very nice Greg!
Greg,
Congratulations,
We were in Ocean Shores over the 4 July and I was planning to take a look at that boat, but the CR listing had been canceled.
You made the circle, where do you go from here?

Need to get it wet Jim :biggrin:
Shrimp in Hood Canal Wednesday
Beautiful! Congratulations!
Gorgeous boat! It's amazing how the boat seems to float on top of the water at the stern. Not much more boat showing in the dry pics than in the water! You guys have finally found your boat calling.
Congrats!
What a beauty!
...and the boats not to shabby either!! :wink:
Wow!! Very nice boat Greg congrats to you and the miss!!!!
Beautiful rig, Greg. Couldn't have gone to a better home. Have fun.
Yat
Very nice Greg. Hoping to come aboard that for tuna some year.

hmmm, not seeing the pics. Hope PB hasn't dropped them- thought I was grandfathered in...
Really nice looking 22 Greg. Love the Skip top.
Very NICE!! Congratulations Greg & Judy. :applause:
Very nice boat Greg!
Congratulations on the new boat. You have owned the full spectrum of Arima boats from the Hunter to the Legend. I sure like that skip top.

Beautiful addition to your stable Gregg. :clap: Are you going to keep it for awhile?
Greg your going to have to get a dealer license. Congrats, beautiful boat.
Congratulations. Great looking boat!
Greg, hope you enjoy fixing it up and making it yours...
Then I may be ready for a 22, hint, hint! :jester:
My dream boat right there .
Congrats enjoy the heck out of it.
Greg; Not sure if it's just me, but your pictures seem to suddenly disappear after a short time. :shrug9:
Yat
Not just you. They're gone.
beautiful boat. congrats
I still see the pictures...
Pictures are back. Go figure. :shrug9:
Yat
Finally see the pictures. Awesome. Wow, Greg, you've got 2ftitis worse than me :biggrin: . But I'm not understanding. You're downsizing???
I see them now. You have had many nice boats. Thanks for posting. Good to see your enjoyment. :flag:
You're downsizing???
Yep, time to whittle down the herd. I have buddies with large boats to bum a ride. And when it's too rough for the SL 22 I don't want to go anyway..
and for the $$/ month for the Osprey I can hire some pretty nice charters
I'm only 72 Richard, the guy who sold ReBait was 83 and he sold his SL 22 that was in Valdez AK, not the other SL 22 he had in San Diego.
Ya got to admire a guy like that...
That is awesome Greg. Like Bruce, love the skiptower version. To me that boat just screams "Halibut". Don't know why. :shrug9: :beerchug: To you and bandaid.
Question! Are you going to rename her?
I don't think Judy will answer to Terri Lynne...
Me either, but some folks believe it is bad luck to change the name of a boat. I don't believe that and probably wouldn't get the two thumbs up from the wife to buy a bigger boat with some other gal's name on it, were the name to stay. I discovered several years ago if I name every boat after my wife- LiLi, then I can have any boat I want!
Smart Man!!!
We had a quiet discussion with Bill and Terree Lynn that we would retire the name with proper deference and ceremony.
The stick on vinyl peels off.
We haven't decided on a proper name yet. Y'All will be second to know :biggrin:
Awesome!
Joe
Greg; Why do I think it will be named...........Something BAIT? :jester: I also think we might need some input from our fellow Arimamaniacs. :smile1: I'll go first.............How about......"FinalBait"? :facepalm:
Yat
Bait N Switch? Seems perfect considering all the Arimas you have owned! :biggrin:

I'll probably get in trouble for this but... MasterBait :jester:
Hey Mustang; I'm getting kind of a good feeling about that name. :facepalm:

If Greg is smart it will be Judy something. Judy Blue Eyes, Sweet Judy, Judy in Disguise, Punch and Judy, Jewel Eyed Judy, etc.

Judy, Judy, Judy......... You gotta be older to remember that phrase :facepalm: .
Good one, but its just, well, repetitive.

I understand Greg and Judy had quite a number of back-and-forth conversations regarding buying this one.........Hence; DEBAIT. Do I win, Greg?
Yat
As the Sundance Kid often said " You keep thinking, Butch. That's what you're good at"
Name selection should consider how it sounds said over the radio three time quickly. Several fail greatly
"DEBAIT...DEBAIT...DEBAIT"! :shrug9: Me thinks Butch is a contender. :smile1:
Yat
The Bait or as they say in France "La Bait". " La Bait do you have your ears on." :biggrin:
She's going to be Kodak II
Gotta keep the Eastman connection going... :wink:

I disagree! I have sold 20 plus boats and 90% of them I loved and only sold to upgrade or down grade. Of the ones I loved I was only happy when it went to the right new owner! Of the other 10% it went to the right owner too

Agreed. For the most part I've had a lot of great experiences with my boat. The issues that I've had of it trying to sink on me while on the buoy I believe have all been fixed and hopefully won't have any other issues for quite some time. Just being out on the water brings back a ton of memories of fishing with my grandfather and my brother and will always be a boat owner because of that, no matter how much it costs to own a boat.
