I hope to get a few more pictures today and then the deal is done.

Yeah, I hope to just move over a few items to the 19 and be done with it. I will only need Arima to add the new marine boards and thats it. Not sure yet what I would move over yet. I need to sell the 17 so stripping it will not work. It does have every part that is new, from the new bow rails to the new windshield.....the list is long.

So SFF,  After just springing for new bow rails, how did you convince GF to go along with the potential project 19?  I need some lessons just in case.......

SFF,

You ever going to stop buying Arima's and fixing them up? At some point you need to enjoy some of your work.

Now the questions:

New engine? Does that go with the new boat or stays with the 17?

Are you going to do another hardtop or stay with the soft top?

New electronics and downriggers?

What size kicker and mount

New seats or stay with the current ones?

Congrats...I am jealous again!

He said he wasn't going to take all the new goodies out of the 17... so I think maybe he has different plans than what most of us are thinking. Is it possible we are talking a his and hers Arimas?

How boring, :hoboy:  not to mention expensive   :facepalm:  And then there is the upkeep time for 2 boats.   :nono:

I think one boat in the household would be sufficient.  I'm still waiting to hear how he managed to pull it off.  Now there has got to be a heck of a good story there.    :bowdown:  :bowdown:

Darren,

I hope the guys check bounces! You got ripped out of a nice looking boat! You still have one of the nicest custom Sea Chasers around the NW!

You really should hold out for a 21' anyway!

Not customer friendly? I'd call it a complete lack of integrety.

He can't even spell.  :berry:

Don't worry, something else better will come up.

However, at my advancing age, I am learning things like that usually happen for the best in the long run.  Something really cool is coming your way.

Things happen fast when you're chasing a good deal. It's the nature of the beast.

SFF, maybe you need to chase that 21' in NM. Another great deal even though it's a bit under powered.

My grandmother use to always say that "things do happen for a reason and if things are meant to be, they will be" so I would maybe count my blessings. If that seller would back out of a deal, what else was he hiding or speaking untruthfully about?
