Finally closed the deal on my new Hatt!!

Don't worry about the Obabam taxes. Just don't pay them like all his czars.

Enjoy the boat and remember to keep it stocked and ready to leave the country if needed.

Enjoy her, the 43c's are a nice vessel. You'll have a lot of happy years with it.

Hibanx,

I checked out your pics and she looks real clean. Good luck with her.

Thanks for all of the words of encouragement and compliments. I do not plan to live aboard as long as I still have a job. My plan is to use her on weekends and vacations until I retire. After I retire I plan to trade up to a 58LRC and live aboard and cruise. Fortunately I have a crew to help take care of the first 120' of boat, the last 43 is all me. Hmm...I wonder if i can convince them to help out on the Hatt too...not likely. The Hatt is currently at the yard having the bottom done, and some paint repairs on the hull sides. After that, a little redecorating by the admiral, and a good detailing and she will be looking Bristol.

Ditto!

Welcome to the club.

I figured there were a couple of us 43 owners here. Bob, I may be picking your brain from time to time if that's okay?

Pick away. Email is rbradley04@snet.net if I don't get back to you quickly on the forum.
