Hey Bill, You've been thinking about this one for awhile--sounds great. Don't forget our offer--anytime you come up here to visit EQ your welcome to stay with us.  If you don't mind maybe we could get Dave to christen our boat when he does yours.

That's right, Mark - there can never be too many red boats. 
Hey - any chance you'll be coming down to the SBS again?

Mind? Heck no - the first Da Nag was christened by Dave at Olympia, and was one of many done that day. 'Twas quite the party, and hopefully there will be others this time as well. The more the merrier - anyone else?
Thanks much for the invite - as should be obvious by now, I'm not shy about taking folks up on these generous offers. And Brock will vouch for me - I don't thrash my hosts' places too badly... 
I'll chat with you as the date gets closer. |

Christening? Maybe the new TyBoo, too? We are even saving the bottle of champagne the former owner lady gave us for the occasion.

Wade,
I'd be happy to Christen your vessel. All of you folks need to start talking real sweet to Brother Jim Martinson (Laura Jo)....if I'm not mistaken he's made up some "Christening Certificates" in the past and maybe he'll make some up for the next vessels to be christened.
By the way Wade, I'm guessing that we don't live too far away from each other. We do the majority of our shopping in Mt. Vernon.

Mike,
I already guaranteed you a christening of the new Tyboo!
 Should I christen the new Dodge too? (Don't know if there is a ceremony for it). Our resident Dodge expert "Rick" should know.

Yeah, you should have thought of that, smart guy.
I'm hoping he has enough left over so I can upgrade to leather seats. |

You won't even need seats, leather or otherwise, because you'll be working your butt off to pay for the thing. |

Da Nag. Your list of selections for your new boat was most helpful. I too have placed an order with E.Q. Marine for May. I have been working on my list and was delighted to find you and I are very close. A few differences.
I will put on twin 40's or 50's. Undecided as of now.
No Wash Down.
No Shore Power.
Otherwise the same except, and here I have a question, I am opting for the tall cabin. I see you chose the "short" version. Why?
And taking the chance of being a club of two in the "Mutual Admiration Society for E.Q. Marine", let me add that Les has been superb. I could not be happier with his knowledge and willingness to share. And this was before I confirmed an order! I expect now to see him show up and make breakfast. Seriously, thus far E.Q. Marine has lived up to their reputation. Highly recommend. |

Welcome aboard! Shall we call you Baboo?

I was initially planning on the tall top as well, until my recent visit to Cornet Bay. I was fortunate to be able to see both configurations - Les currently has a tall top in stock, and Fred was there with his new Anita Marie which has the standard top.
I'm getting a RADAR/accessory arch, just like the one on Anita Marie. It is designed so a dingy will fit underneath, and with a tall top, I'd either have to give up the possibility of dingy stowage, or the arch would have to be made even taller. Neither of which appealed to me.
When aboard the Anita Marie, I had no feeling of the cabin being too low - I was able to move around quite comfortably without even thinking about ducking. I'm 6'0", and I'm guessing I had at least a couple inches to spare.
Also, of lesser importance - aesthetics. This is strictly a personal observation, but I don't like the looks of the taller cabin. To my eye, it's just too "bubble-like". I'd certainly overlook this if I had a compelling reason to go with it (like being 6'2"+).

Heh - you should have been at the recent gig. Breakfast was served, in the form of multiple lattes for anyone who wanted them - he made me three the first morning. I felt so guilty I had to add shore power to the list... |

Actually, Baboo - I don't know about the breakfast, but Les DOES show up and make the lattes!
