[Public-List] Public-List Digest, Vol 1164, Issue 1

Tue Jan 29 15:56:28 PST 2008

Hello Michael, et al.

Yes. My Gray Marine was removed today.

As to its disposition, I have been inclined to put her up on eBay  
(seems like the the place to do it), but I haven't done anything yet.

As to its condition, up until I just hauled it, it worked great,  
starting with the first push of the starter button and purring  
whenever she was on.  That's not to say that there may have been some  
nasty think waiting to happen, but there was not even a hint of a  
lurking problem.  I only took her out because I promised myself that  
my next boat (this boat) would be diesel powered (I know there are  
pros and cons, but I'd made up my mind...).

I haven't a clue what a used (original) Gray Marine is worth.  In any  
case, I'd want to sell it "as is" with a notice of  Caveat Emptor.  
I'm convinced, though, that she's better as a whole than for parts.   
But I have no sentimentality that would prohibit anyone doing what  
they thought they needed to do.

If enough people say its worth nothing (and here I'm inviting A30  
Assn. members to chime in), then I would consider giving the motor  
away, but I'm hoping that I can in some way offset the cost of my new  
Yanmar by selling her.

If anyone's interesting at looking the engine before I put her up to  
"the highest bidder", I'm in Claiborne, MD, not far from St. Michaels  
(jcscott at cpsc.com).  I keep Wooshkeetaan (Hull #26) on Tilghman Creek.

Regards,

John Scott
