Captain Ron's "Wanderer" For Sale

[Pelagic]

Is Chiefy politely trying to say this is a marketing scam?

That boat looks a little light on maintenance. And thats in pictures! Everyone know boats always look better in pics... Hey swab,wanna beer? Get your own beer!

Two years ago I was involved in a major refit of "TYCHE" ex "LOVELY LADY".......Whover surveys this vessel needs to take VERY close look at the HULL and its parts.

We met our newest bestest friends because they were quoting Captain Ron at Munchies down here in Hope Town and we responded in like. Trivia time... what was Captain Ron's last name? Use your noodle, not your google and rewatch the movie if you have to. Did you ever notice he does everything perfectly when he docks other than tying up. I wish we could do that.

I thought she was supposed to have 1200 ponies! Fairchild Marine?!! What's this 120HP Ford Lehman nonsense? This ain't the Wanderer.

Major understatement. The boat is in terrible, terrible shape. A serious case of neglect. It is probably about $200,000 away from being a $175,000 F51.

I would buy it -- only if the shower door was fixed.

Wha? What are you guys looking at that tells you this boat is in terrible shape? All I see is a little chipped paint and a bit(!) of peeling varnish. What am I missing?

[bstreep]

We saw this boat less than a year ago - back when we were in Kemah.

All I can say is that a large part of the asking price MUST be in the provenance. I'm a real estate appraiser. I can't possibly imagine paying that much for this boat... And I can't possibly imagine swapping our current boat - surveyed at a similar value - for it.

And yes, one WILL find a decent 6 figures in deferred maintenance on this boat, I'm betting.

So what is his last name in the movie..I will not google and I do not have a copy of the movie.... ...Been watching Overboard this week on one of the premium channels...

[Gene41]

Captain Ron's last name was Rico as in Ron Rico (the rum)

[RBEmerson]

Um, er, even Google (at least Wikipedia and IMDB entries plus misc. browsing) isn't helping. Although I did turn up a story about the business of the eyepatch. Hint: Snake!

So, c'mon, truth or dare... what's his last name?

Added: Doh! Of course! I was typing the above as Gene41 was posting. Silly me for missing that.

[STPABR]

AAAhhh yes, now I remember....

Thanks....

I need to aquire that flick...

[RBEmerson]

I cannot guess at how many times we've referred to St. Pomme de Terre or "if anything's gonna happen, it's gonna happen out there, Kitty" on our own trips or on charters. Between Captain Ron and Club Paradise, the Caribbean's pretty well covered.
