Subject: Hibou is still for sale

Hibou is for sale. My broker is AWOL; long story. You can contact me at:

marauder@comcast.net

I learned a lot from this boat and took on another, better documented project, with more issues. This is what I've done with a Hudson Force 50 in 10 months:

[> tough time to sell a boat -- Lyle Harris, - Friday - 10/23/09 - 1:55pm (mail.commongroundwa.org/64.81.2.226)

Hi Craig,
Marauder looks like a great adventure. Bigger, by all accounts.
If you can hold onto Hibou for now, the boat market seems like it's in the toilet. I was at a boat yard in Ballard on Tuesday, there were 5 boats out of the water being worked on. The place could easily hold 50 boats.
Good time to buy, if you're on the other side of the agreement, but jeez.

Lyle,
Yes the boating market is a slump but boats are moving and people are looking. If you're in Ballard today and Monday you'll see one of my friends having a survey done on Marauder's sister-ship and a survey done on the boat he's selling. We're not desperate to sell and have a back up plan if Hibou doesn't sell.
Marauder has been an adventure, both on the water and on the restoration project. I'm amazed at the small technological gap between 1969 and 1986 is compared to the difference between 1986 and today.
Thanks for the note,
Craig
