The Day has Finally Come...The New Foggy Dew

416rigby

Since Jim has posted that his boat has sold ( the San Diego boat) we can let you all know that we have bought it. He is a great guy and made things really easy for us. The deal won't be totally done for a couple of weeks but the deposit is made and we are just waiting on final arrrangements
WE ARE SO EXCITED!

We only have one picture so far but more to follow as we get them. We created a new album called the New Foggy Dew. We will have to do the appropriate denaming and renaming ceremony once we arrive in Alabama and I am sure Patrick will help us with that........ Very Happy

Thanks to those of you that gave us the heads up on this boat. Things happened really quickly once we knew about it. Very Happy

The boat is beautiful and has some nice extras that we didn't even know about even though we agreed to buy it. The freaky thing is that we were looking for a green boat and this one already has a Shamrock and an Irish name......it was an omen.

Besides the regular stuff...standard for 2000 models, it has an opening center window, 110 volt refrigerator, outrigger mounts, live bait well with pump, plumbed trailer brake flushing, roll down curtains in the cabin and bimini top. We will look forward to adding some extra projects in the future but for now........Just Perfect! I am sure we will have tons of questions to ask!
Here is the only pic that we have..... Beer

Congratulations, Rick. Given your Coastie specialty, I expect to see some great "projects" on the new boat once you both hit Alabama. According to Byrdman Pat, it's the state with more navigable rivers than any other state, so you should have no lack of places to explore and the shallow draft C-22 is perfectimundo.

Fitting that you're closing the deal right around St. Patrick's Day as well.

Have fun, I hope to meet ya some day up river. One of our goals is to explore around Florence AL as well as attending one of the Byrdman's gatherings.

Thumbs Up

Congratulations on your new boat!! It was meant to be that you were looking for a green one and one magically appeared on the site for sale!!

Glad you got the boat. Sounds like the boat of your dreams. I may do a special update of the charts so your boat is added to them. Since I just did the update, I normally would not do on another update until mid April.

Dave,
Wow, thanks but don't go to any trouble as we will be moving in June...so our location will change.
Don,
I am sure there will be tons to tinker with over time and will post pics of modifications we make. We look forward to meeting you in Bama as well......and also hope to make some other gatherings as work permits.
Jeff and Jule.......thanks....life is good Smile

It is going to be fun, thinking of things to modify to make it ours. Sometimes just little things make a difference. CoolSmile

Congratulations Rick. A great boat....

Do you fly those choppers, ride or jump Smile

My nephew is an MKC operating as the CHENG on an extended 112 (or is it a 120??) Island Class out of Key West, about to go back to Depoe Bay...

Congrats Rick! I too thought that the magical appearance of a green boat was kismet. However, with what you learned from the other thread you can paint this one blue in the future (but only if you want it to go faster Wink

).

Best,
Roger

Right on Roger. Go BLUE

Green is good too, just not as......

Well, Rick, you've done it now. A long time ago, in a thread far, far away, your wonderful wife wrote:

Come on now, guys, there will be no painting... after all, you remember that famous line that Kermit sang long ago..."It's not easy...bein' green..." lol

Charlie, I fix 'em and ride in 'em...operate the rescue hoist and other stuff....and hey, Depoe Bay is nice. Lived in North Bend for 4 years and flew all up and down the Oregon coast. Pretty country...nice and green...lol

Dan...how the heck does one operate outriggers, anyway? The mounts are on the boat, but no poles. I think tuna is in our future. Very Happy

Ahh, them was glory days, I say! Obviously your tongue is planted firmly in that cheek, Mike...I've seen Donna elbow-deep in a white tail buck's ribs...but that's another story...she's not shy about getting dirty! Geeze, I'm the tea totler in the family. She's the coffee (and scotch) guru. And frilly? HA! Wait til you meet her. lol

Funny, we were sitting around joking last night that I'll have to get an outfit like Thurston Howell and sit on the fantail sipping a sundowner while smoking my pipe. "Oh, Lovey! I wonder how the the other half lives?!" lol

Thanks everyone for your best wishes...we're totally stoked.

Wow, it has started out to be a great weekend. We just talked to the gentleman that we are buying our new boat from and he informed us that our boat is actually a 2001 and not the 2000 that he thought. As an extra bonus he forgot to tell us that the boat has auto pilot. Looking forward to picking it up.
