Eye Candy

Post by BALANCE »

This boat is a few down from me. I have been ogling this gal since last October. The owner finally showed up recently. He's a proud papa.

Can you guess what she is?

No, this could be a long guessing game because I don't see any picture. (smile)

That would make it tough to guess. I see them - don't know what to tell you, sometimes it just takes some time to load. I didn't know what it was, when the guy finally appeared I was able to ask. No cheating now. Winner gets a reusable epoxy mixing stick!

Mercer - I think you nailed it, Rachel (as usual).

I was seeing a Bill Trip transom, and a centerboard full keel, but not a B40's coach house and for some reason she looked longer than the Invicta.

And I guess this confirms it.

Ms. Google won! (I should never have shown the transom). I knew it was a Tripp from the first day I saw her but couldn't figure out which one. He boasts that it is one of 6. Well, it's one of the first 6 anyway. Nice guy.
