Boat Sold, Footitis strikes again

Well, it was inevitable, I got that dreaded disease called "Footitis"
although I had a great time on my F25, I quickly came to the realization that it was just too small for the trips and the friends I like to entertain.
My Tyme will be leaving me the week after Labor Day.

I appreciate all the great info giving, the hints, the suggestions by everyone on this forum. I have enjoyed the bantering, the squabbles, and the sincere heartfelt concerns expressed by some to others. This truly is a remarkable bunch of owners, together because of one make of boat.

I also was given the rare opportunity to purchase a larger boat for a song,(no, not a Trojan,Carver, or a Silverton, no fly bridge), one that was very well maintained and cared for. One I was already familiar with and am privy to a very recent survey that was done by a respected surveyor.
So I am very confident in my purchase. I will keep what it is quiet for the moment, only one other member here knows which boat I purchased.

With your permissions, I would like to remain a member, even to just pop my head in once in a while to say hello.

Again.. Thanks everyone

One of the first things I will do is tell him about this forum, it is like having your own personal manual readily available 24/7

It is another orphan brand.
28ft 10ft3in beam
twin 205hp mercruisers with brand new alpha outdrives (new complete outdrives, less than 30 hours on them both)
just over 800hrs on motors
every single nook and cranny has been utilized for storage of some kind, I stopped counting after 26 separate compartments
sleeps 6; aft cabin; large V berth :)
Lots, and lots of wood everywhere inside and outside in the cockpit

1st hint
