Father's Day came a little early this year. Yesterday, we bought a boat. It's an older one, but in great shape. Specifically, it's a 1987 Sea Ray 21' Seville Mid-cabin Cruiser. It's powered by a 205 HP 4.3 Liter V-6 Engine with less than 400 hours and spins a prop thru a Mercruiser outdrive. The boat has a raised cockpit, a forward vee-berth, another berth under the raised cockpit, a stand-up head with a pump out holding tank, a small fridge, a sink with a pump faucet, depth finder, VHF radio, AM-FM Radio with cassette player, and a series of canvas top pieces that form a bimini top, full cover, and side curtains for inclement weather. It also has a full width swim platform on the stern. (Check out the use of those nautical terms!!)
We answered an ad in the local paper, and bought the boat from a retired lawyer who can no longer see well enough to operate the boat safely. He is the original owner, and the boat held a lot of good memories of his family for him. I promised him to take good care of the boat and generate some good memories of our own.

Yay! Congratulations on the new boat with all its boat terms! I'm looking forward to spending some time on it!
Arnie, it looks and sounds like a great find. We hope you will have a great time with it. Anchor's away! (more boat speak) Lil Sis.
