    Congrats amigo. Why an offshore closing?

    taxes.

    Yup. Costa Rica wants their share if you don’t do that. Funds go into escrow. It’s a weird deal where the seller’s agent drives the boat out and then you take pictures and video of the signing of the documents along with you coordinates on the GPS and a newspaper with the current date. Takes like 5 minutes then they hand you the “keys” to the boat and you get to drive it home.

    Yeah wouldn't think they belong in the same sentence, but didn't think Albermarles were that thought down on.  Just that folks are that high on Spencers.  Friend of mine almost bought an older Albermarle once.  It was solid (but slow) and seemed like a good boat for the $$$ (they don't command much).  But I never followed the express market at all. 

    Not real sure why I’ve never heard any specific problems other than the fit and finish isn’t that great. I didn’t mean it had a Luhrs reputation or anything.  It may be just that all of their previous models are smaller than what is needed in the Gulf and too heavy/slow for fishing down south. 
     

    it’s an interesting concept in that you don’t have many boat builders producing convertible boats in that size range.

    As for Spencer, they are minimum 3 years out on build times and I don’t think will make anything smaller than a 70’ anymore. Most people love them but they built a few that were nothing but problems. The ones I have been on have been fantastic boats with a price to match.

    I think all the idiots just stopped on NPI and didn't drive the rest of the way to Port A...

    There were enough idiots to go around. Port A was packed.

  4. It was a good time at Shorty’s. Surprisingly not that crowded considering it was the eclipse and the Pig Party but we left fairly early so maybe it got busier. Round 2 starts this afternoon at the house. Fajitas and margaritas with some good friends.

    While we are at it would you like to share your Nica experiences?

    Yeah, same time frame in CR with some friends we rented a 6 bedroom Villa that was about 1000 a night. Three bedroom in SJDS for 350 was a good deal, especially if it had a view. On the other hand anything in Los Suenos is ridiculously expensive it’s the most expensive place in CR. Headed there tomorrow and managed to find a condo for 150 a night which is a steal even in the off-season.

    Hmmm, well I certainly don't have hundreds of thousands of sea miles, but around here at least, and down on the Texas coast, it's extremely common for boats to be named, and for that name to be displayed on the stern, like this:

    What's in a (boat) name? - Trade Only Today

     

    As for never hearing of it, I don't know what to tell you.  It's pretty commonly known.  Perhaps it's possible you don't know EVERYthing about boating?

     

    Yeah, don’t really know any boats that don’t have a name anywhere I’ve been. Sure, a 17 foot skiff may not have a name but a lot of my friends with boats like that have a name they call it and most have that name somewhere on the boat side. As far as tbone’s size boat they all have a name around here.

  8. Yes there is definitely a superstition that renaming a boat is bad luck. I’ve heard various fixes for that, including breaking a bottle over the bow like fatty mentioned. But my favorite is having a virgin urinate over the bow of the boat.

    Holy shit that is awesome!

    Hatteras? Viking? Bertram?

    Viking. As much as I wanted to pull the trigger on a custom I just couldn’t justify it so went with another Viking. My experience with their boats has been excellent.

    So @justhookit any tips on what to fish for bay side in late Oct? Had to change a CR trip for “local” (boooooo). 
     

    Just hoping at least place is not crowded and we can enjoy beach days by letting mutts run slightly free. 

    That’s the best time of year for redfish. October is the best month of the year here. Weekends will be a little crowded but you should find plenty of room the further south you go on the beach.
