Just binge read the thread. It’s a good one!

Ha ha...thanks for that, BCR...but funny thing....I tried to sell it last fall to step up for a bit bigger boat and all I heard was how the decals make the boat less "marketable".... we'll, maybe...no offers so I'm hanging on to it

How does that boat fish with Orca decals all over it?
Kidding. love your North Coast trips and threads

Funny you should bring that up....since September I’ve had an itch to get a 27 footer, up a few feet from the 24 footer I have now. There was a Skagit Orca available I’ve been eyeing since last fall. Last week I finally made the mental gyration to call on it ....I put it off, then finally called this morning. I’m very interested, says I. Sorry, it sold this morning says he...

“Says he”...... rhymes with........ c’est la vie...

Here’s what slithered through my fingers.....

I also missed out on that one!!!
That was'nt just any Skagit Orca 27,
It was the first Skagit built in several years and the guys at NWMI built it out beautifully for the Seattle boat show....It had a lot of attention to fit and finish and was fully loaded with everything top notch. I crawled it and have to say it was outstanding. I think the finish on the Skagit Orcas is the best.
That boat was sweet
