After 40 years of drooling over these ultimate river cruiser hot rods . I finally joined the club .
Thank you to Paul at Outdrive 1 marine sales .
A couple weeks ago he listed this 87’.
I responded right away . I want it . Gave him my offer . He checks with seller.
Seller agrees that was a few Tuesdays ago .
I finish my day at work on Thursday . Was super excited . Didn’t sleep much for a couple days.
Went to go get a cashiers check for boat . Told Paul , I’ll pick it up on Saturday morning May 4 .
We were going up to Parker to Hang out with my kids . That weekend . Perfect . Pick up Schiada and play all weekend .
Well right , when I was on my way to bank.
. Paul calls me and says seller is selling boat to his freind . Devastated and bummed . I figured it wasn’t meant to be .
Wife and I head to Parker with our cp outboard
Friday. Was happy as my grandchild and kids were having a good time.
Saturday this same boat was going by our place a few times . Talk about putting salt on a wound . I’m like “there it is “ . Bummed again .
We go home early on Sunday . it was a total blow out , with wind Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
Thinking about what could have been .
Tuesday May 7th Paul pm’s me early, says sellers freind, backing out of deal . I text Paul
I want it . I sent a check right away .
Just to make sure .
Boats mine. Just saw Schiada in pictures .
Super excited . No sleep again .
We wanted a stern drive , just easier for my wife to drive. Less to deal with .
Picked it up Saturday morning from Paul’s house .
Put it in water and drove around for a few hours . Boat is super nice , love the colors and I’m very happy .
Nervous on first ride , but was a lot more comfortable , as the day went on .
I guess it was meant to be
Wanted to say a huge
Thank you to Paul.
