I give up

[Ocean1]

I admit defeat.

Time for someone else to take over, much as I like to tell myself I'll get there it won't happen.

Anyone want to buy a boat?

[vifferman]

Where have you hidden all the animules, Noah? :confused:
Do they come with the boat?

[Goblin]

Wow! Looks like Noah's Ark.:dodge:

Jokes aside...all the best with the sale.

[Finn]

It astounds me that you bought a steel boat in the first place. I mean why when there are so many other better materials to build a boat out of? It's slow, way too heavy, suffers from chronic galvanic problems, doesn't turn very well and can't handle when the going gets tough. Oh hang on, you've got a Buell. :pinch:

[Blackbird]

Nice - is it a Ganley?

Big project! A friend in Tokoroa has been building a stretched Ganley for 16 years. It is now finished and he's lost the desire to sail it as he's knocking on 70 and his health isn't that flash. I think it will sit on his back lawn forever as his soul is in it.

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Finn again.

Can throw in a cat, oh, and a possum, (might be a bit dead though, he's on shakey ground climbing all over the roof in the wee small hours).

Ta. Somehow doubt Noah took quite as long to knock up his version though.

I didn't buy it, I built it. If the Buell's an anachronism it may be 'cause I don't know squat about road bikes. If you want to learn about yachts just keep talking.

Finn's allowed to rubbish Buells; he has an MV Agusta.

You, on the other hand, are barely qualified to opine on teapots.

No, Bruce Askew drew the lines to my spec's, I lofted them myself (Rhino3D) and built it myself.

And yes, the giving up thing is more common than otherwise. In my case the interest's still there but the reason's not.

And I was joking. Finding new and interesting ways of poo-pooing someones bike (and their mother) is an age old KB tradition. You guys started it when I bought the Honda, now I just can't stop.

:laugh: However, had it been a Hershoff, I could have been very tempted...:drool:

Good luck Bud!

It's the lever on the right dude, even on a Honda.

Pretty close though, and it's a staysail schooner.

007XY wasn't it?...

No wonder you've been nominated as the Site Strumpet.

Ya wanna come for a little boat ride with me then? I promise it'll be very peaceful...eventually! :devil2:

On a more serious not though...RIP to the victims.

[Reckless]

Finn's allowed to rubbish anyone (me included). Oceans turn this time but we will all get it, sooner or later. He sure comes up with some good Lines. when its my turn I'll force myelf to smile LOL. Keep it up Finn all the others have been binned and KB has for ever changed.

Ocean! good luck with the sale! Big project thats for sure.
When I was panel beating a friend of mine built a steel Shadow 34 in the workshop in part of our building. I remember pouring 1.8 tons of lead into the keel one Saturday. But he was on it full time for about two years. Sailed it all around the world then unfortunatly got killed welding a stockcar out at Timarua Speedway in Upper Hutt.

[Scouse]

Does the Buel come with it as the anchor?

[skidMark]

Could you deliver it to auckland? free of course?

parcel post?

You can try, but I hope you like the bitter taste of defeat...:whistle:

:bleh:

The best one ever, apparently...(shit, better run now if Cowpoos sees this) :p

He does, I did, and he'll keep.

Seem to recall the story. I'll add it to the list of reasons to give up, under the heading "general bad shit might happen".

Thinks... there's 7 ton of lead in that sucker, prolly worth more than I'll get for the fucking boat on today's prices.

I know. Your insincerity is the only thing that holds your posts back from perfection.

You leave GSX600/750F's out of this!

[WRT]

Nice lines on the boat. I must confess to being a little surprised at how much vegetation there is on Mt Ararat, I always pictured it being much sparser.

I like it, but I've lost the objectivity to "see" it after so long. The designer's dead chuffed with it, he's a bit miffed that I'm selling it.

Ah, well, had a bit of trouble launching the last one, this time it's not quite 5000ft above sea level. Was going to take a few cases of jelly and drop the Melling bridge into the Hutt river, wait a couple of days, launch the boat, apply more jelly to the bottleneck and surf out down the valley. :niceone:
