I have to say that I kind of feel like a weirdo...

Being impatiently super stoked to see a picture of a badass boat that a guy I've never met just bought 😂 Internet forum things I guess!

So yeah, congrats!
You’ll get over that at some point, internet friends isn’t as weird of a thing as it was back in the hot boat days. Dans my spirit animal, I can’t wait to see what he’s gone and done now 👍

He joined the 1st Infantry Division (you have to be an Army guy to get it)? 😂

Looking forward to see what he got. I'm thinking we really need to organize an RDP ocean run. Chanel Islands to Santa Barbara? Dana to Newport? Dana to Oceanside? Long Beach to Catalina? Let's get back to the early 2000's boating life!

I searched through the hundreds of boating photos on my computer but can't find one of Dan or any of the many boats he's owned other than this one. His old Gun that went to the east coast. Here it is at a Poker Run I attended in Massachusetts. At least I can say I've been in one of his boats on both coasts. :cool:

Sure is!!

Love the paint on that boat. And the cockpit colors. They knocked it out of the park. Always been a favorite of mine. I even tried buying it a few years ago.

Congrats Danimal! Welcome back. Now, let’s go run!!!

Agree. A timeless design that still looks as good now as it did back then.

Congratulations Dan! Looking forward to running with you again. Great to see another beautiful Gun back out west.

If I won the lottery I'd go looking for Tom's "Hot For Teacher" or Schulte's "Out Of Control" and get those back here too!

Both are in loto. HFT is probably in the best shape of its life. Past two owners treated it with an open checkbook.

Unfortunately Kevin’s boats not in as good of condition as when he had it. And someone along the way put way too busy interior in it. 👎 saw it in June at PBC and the top ends were being done on those Zul’s.

The comeback is greater than the setback! Dan- I love that you don't give up, you want something, got screwed on a business deal, you figure out a way to get through it and get the toy that makes you happy. It's kinda inspirational......... Or dumb, depending on who you ask. LOL.

But I like it YOLO! :cool:

I don’t know about a comeback
Never said I was smart
Sure wasn’t a good time to do this but didn’t want to miss the deal
Its not as sweet as the 42 was but still I’m super happy
And in some ways things are better over the 42

I don't think its EVER a good time to buy a boat. Sometimes you just need to pull the trigger.....
