SOLD 1989 C-Dory 22 Cruiser, in the Tropical Tip of Texas...

Insulted by Texas state trooper, but my luck is holding. On the way home, I was pulled over by the Texas highway patrol near Victoria. I brought spare hubs, bearings, grease, tires, temporary trailer lights,etc but forgot to throw in a good licence plate from one of my other boats.
He asked about no licence plate and I told him that I had just purchased the boat and had the trailer registration and bill of sale to show him, He said never mind, no one would steal this boat. He asked what I paid for the boat and I told him and he acted like I was crazy. He said no one would pay that kind of money for a boat in this condition. I started to try to tell him about C-Dory's and realized that I was arguing with a State Trooper. So I quickly changed my tune and told him that my wife sitting in the truck would agree with him about the boat. He handed me back my licence and said, next time get a temporary plate and that he hoped that it would make it all the way to Houston.
We did make it and are now safe at home, tomorrow a pressure washer and lots of Clorox.

Tex, that is hysterical! :mrgreen: SO glad to hear you made it home with no problems... heck, the Trooper stop wasn't a problem, it's a great story! :thup :thup

Best wishes,
Jim

Can't wait to see a picture after the washdown. Are you gonna keep the name? I kind of like it, although "Cinderella" might be more appropriate. Got any plans for those solar panels?
 
I KNEW Tex would end up with a C-Dory, just takes a little time to stew about it. All of that - trees in the hand rails, solar panels with sunburns, downriggers ( for lake Conway ~35' deep) AND he gets a name also, how can you beat a deal like that ? :D

I saw the note Tex had posted about trying to contact Jim, so I called him. He (Jim) was peddling his body out on the streets of S. Texas :roll: , believe me he has some stiff competition down there, and when I mentioned a free lunch - you could hear him folding shop and heading home to call Tex. Good on Ya Mates, this community is one GREAT reason to own a C-Dory, and be a Brat !

CONGRATULATIONS TEX & SHARON
 
Ahhh... pedal vs peddle... good catch, Dave! :lol: Now that I have my error for the year out of the way, Tyboo can rest easy. :mrgreen: And I think you know me well enough to know that my second career as an exotic male dancer really isn't the same thing as "peddling myself". Shame on you for even implying that. :oops:

To bring this back on topic, Tex is considering installing an a/c unit on the boat... maybe you can offer to cut a big ol' hole in the top of his boat?

Best wishes,
Jim
 
Jim,

Bet I know why you did not post a photo of the inside of that cooler :twisted:

Looks like a good pressure washer and some clorox wouldn't hurt much.

Tex, Good luck and good find. Now there is an investment (anda project).
