Sorry you have to get rid of that Flash stuff if you want everyone to see it.

Sorry guys

The site I used to build the website is flash and I see how it could be not the best for everyone. It's too slow for my web enabled phone as well.

After work I will look into bringing the equipment list and description in as a reply and to look into adding some pics.

Any comments/help from somebody who has been faced with the same dilemma is highly appreciated.

loads fine for me and boy does she look sweet! Good luck, I don't think you will have a problem finding someone to love her. More pictures, interior shots would be nice to see!

Hello Sara

Thanks for the compliments! Yes, she's an amazing boat and I bought her to be my future home to sail around and put all the TLC I could think of and afford into her. Interior pics are coming this weekend as soon as the contractor has all his tools collected ....

Some quick pics taken tonight, more (especially interior) over weekend...

Doodles · 08-07-2010, 17:45

The website works for me, but I'm on a MacBook. Nice site but as someone who recently bought a boat and looked at a lot of boats online, the photos are too artsy. You need photos that show more of the boat, hardware, interior, exterior, etc. Think, if I were shopping what would I want to see?

Good luck with the sale. Looks like a bargain.

Volkhard · 10-07-2010, 02:46

Doodles:
Thanks for your comments. I know I need detail photos and hope to make some over the weekend. The company who does all the varnishing, oiling, buffing and waxing is terribly behind schedule. I should have taken the pics before.

I strongly believe I set a very attractive price and it is a true bargain. I just hope I'll find a similar good buy when searching for a cat after I found a good new home for Odyssey. But I believe in Karma and that has worked for me my whole lifezx.
