Good Bye B-Ticket

[CheapboatKev]

Well..
My Holiday just got hitched up and drove off into the sunset..A wad of cash is good, but it was sad watching her go.

Now I can focus on the 18 foot SS I guess.

I didnt take any pics of her getting hitched and leaving, so I will just leave this memory

Don't spend those 5 B. Franklins in one place now. Hope you got more than 5.

Its always hard to see a project you put your blood, sweat and tears into go off in sommebody elses care, but youll soon have similar feelings for the SS, and I'll be following your progress because I'm into a similar project but with the 140 I/O. check it out. Hope you're going to start a thread for it soon.

Its always hard watching them go. But congratulations on the sale, just take comfort that you have made a fine specimen of classic tin for the world to enjoy for many years..... not being hauled in for scrap or just laying in a farmers field.

You're an outboard guy now??

Good luck on the SS, I'll miss the B ticket though. A piece of Starcratft forum history just rode off into the sunset.

Re: Good Bye B-Ticket

Well, CBKev...I feel for you but you did good rebuilding that Holiday. I only came across one here but I was impressed with the tall sides, enclosed bow area, and i/o...however we love our SS!!

You have just as much fun with your SS

thanks Bwana...it was fun, terrible, cuss filled wonderful adventure..that I would do all over again in a heartbeat. The ONLY reason she ever even floated off the trailer was the support and motivation from all my wonderful in-tin-ernet buddies like you on here..

Yep, I have posted in your thread and wish you the best! Do you need the manual for that motor?

Thanks CB..I promised to help the new owner where I can, he's a Vietnam Vet and old biker dude that will put a lot of theray time into the boat, i's going to a good home.

That's a sad feeling!! But now you have some bucks to use on the SS!

Yep! what sucks is I leave out of town again tomorrow morning and wont be able to touch the SS for a few days.

Kev, I hope you turned the new owner on to the Starmada. We can tell him stories behind your back when you're out of town.

Re: Good Bye B-Ticket

You might check the fields to see if the PO might have lost something on the way home. Sad I just sold my 22 holiday three weeks ago Miss it but not the work that always continued to try to improve it.

Re: Good Bye B-Ticket

And the B-Ticket is breathing a sigh of relief, no more cow tipping for the B-Ticket, it has a responsible home now! LOL! The B-Ticket has given us all a lot of good memories. Did you tell the new owner about us????? Oh the stories we could tell him!

Re: Good Bye B-Ticket

Dood, that boat is a ledgend and I hope the new owner treats her right.

Even if she has a thing for the bovine.

Re: Good Bye B-Ticket

that's gotta be a bummer seein her go. you DO know that selling em so you can make $ to start fixing another one up is an EXTREME example of MBS?

i'm dying to know: did you tell the new O abt her agricultural foray?

Re: Good Bye B-Ticket

I now it's sad to see them go just like when the kids leave home, YA Right, Look what your moving into CBK, it's the best of the best. Just stop on the way home one night and grab a handful of nice fresh COW S@#t and rub it on the outside of the SS hull for good luck. we know it works you proved it.
