The Hotrod Might Be Sold....

I have had a few people come and look at the Hotrod. The first one was very interested but for some reason decided against it. Others thought they could make a ridiculous offer and steal it from me. But I'm not that desperate to sell it. Actually if I could keep it and get a bigger boat I would. It's been a great boat and I finally have it completely restored with a new engine and some added comforts like a removable seat cushion on the storage box, rewired the trolling motor and the plug and most importantly got the trailer straightened out again thanks to my buddy captnron off of several of the fishing forums down here in Florida.
On another note... I might have missed out on a great opportunity on a really nice boat to replace the Hotrod. The owner was holding it for me for two weeks but I couldnt get the boat till I moved the Hotrod. No big deal. I see great deals on boats all the time, its just a matter of timing usually. Having all your financial affairs in order when a good deal comes along. Or in my case, having room in your garage...
I suppose after I sell the Hotrod I will have to come up with a new blog, and more importantly a new name for my boat. It's a shame too. The Hotrod Gheenoe had a nice ring to it, and I liked the image that it portrayed. Im sure life will go on.

I noticed that once I took the 'Hotrod Gheenoe' name off of the boat, and stopped calling it 'The Hotrod' I started getting more inquiries. After I thought about it, I can kind of see why. I know that all the boats that I look at, if they have a name on them I dont even pursue them. I guess its not wanting people to see me in a boat that they might recognize from someone else owning it. A similar thing happened to me when I was 16 and got my first car. It was a 1956 Chevy Bel Aire, cherry red and white and in immaculate condition, big fat tires on the back and all jacked up. It was beautiful. Unfortunately everywhere I went people kept asking where was so and so.. the dude who used to own the car. Kinda stole the thunder from the joy of having such an awesome car. Of course after I moved a couple hundred miles away that was no longer and issue. Guess I'm kinda wierd like that.
