Left her at the alter?

Left her at the alter?

Didn't even make it to the church.

Easy boys....

 

[Rain City]

Easy boys....

Robert knows we all love him and appreciate what he did. Who wasn't sad to not see him finish for himself?

 

[Aquaholic]

Easy boys....

Why?

 

[Highliner]

Because your comments are negative. That's why.

 

[MadJigga]

I’m reading only humour with a side of ribbing in the above comments. Not anything negative in my opinion. And not anything Robert can’t handle. Just my opinion.

Because your comments are negative. That's why.

Stizzla bailed out on at least one project he started, he got friendly ribbing and took it like a champ and laughed with all that ribbed him. I trust Robert is the same. Who the hell are you to tell me and others how to reply?

 

[Highliner]

Have at 'er then dude. Not looking for a keyboard fight. I just appreciate all the effort that Robert put in to sharing and putting himself out there. I'm sure he's more upset than anyone about not being able to finish his project the way he originally planned. But sometimes that's life. In my view there's no need to pile on, in jest or not. Let's not let this thread begin to go downhill from here. Just my opinion.

Thank you. Agreed.

Hey guys, just turned over my project yesterday, dang feels good to be back at work. Looks like 4 months in Manitoba starting Dec 1 but that could change in a heart beat and usually does....

I am totally ok with the razing, kinda deserve it lol We were all looking forward to great adventures and chronicles of the “Persistence” but unfortunately a dramatic shift in finances kinda dissolved that pipe dream.

so the upside, I am still looking for a Campion sedan or similar, almost bought one but the deal fell through, not looking for a full gut and restore but something useable. i needs to get out on the water!

I am not offended by your comments, keep at it if you need to vent, haha. I still lov and appreciate you all as well...

I'm sure we all wish you well, and understand the kind of setbacks that can end a project. But from a Hourston to a Campion? Time are hard. Best of luck going forward.

The right move is always what’s best for you and your family. Going from a bare hull that needs $50,000+ to finish, to a turn key fishing boat is the right move.

You’re a good man Robert Snyder. Thanks for towing us around on your build, it was amazing what you bit off, and the results are epic!

Are you going to get updated from the new owner to see how she gets completed? It would be great to see it all done still. Especially sans flybridge!

Yes, I will be helping the new owner if and where I can I will hopefully have updates and keep y'all posted as it continues to progress...

I linked this thread in Sttr's thread,since you had been toying with the idea of adding the command bridge and had a poll going.Looks way better without I think.
