Default Finally decided to pull the plug!

As some of you know, I've been agonizing about keeping/selling my like-new LS with 25000 miles. Well, I needed some incentive, and I just found it in the form of a new boat! Since I (obviously) don't use the Lexus very much, and since my home has deep water and dock access, it was an easy rationalization. I bought the LS new and have probably over-maintained it, (as in timing belt/water pump, etc.), but it's time to trade it for a Whaler/Yamaha combo.
This forum has been a great source of auto-wisdom, advice and technical assistance. I thank you all very much for your help. If anyone is interested in my car, it's on Craigslist/Savannah GA
Thanks again!

Congrats on your new direction. I hope your boat is as reliable as your Lexus... Glad you were here for the ride for a bit.

Good for you. Boats are always nice. Post some pics. I think we all know the cost difference of owning almost any boat vs a 430.

When you wrote I thought you meant a land boat, like an old Caddy Brougham.... didn't know you meant an actual floating on water boat. How much did you let your LS sail for?

You know what they say boat stands for.. Bust Out Another Thousand

Good luck with the boat. I currently own two grady whites a 232 gulfstream and a 300 marlin. Nothing beats a boat for some fun in the sun.
