New VX buyer SOS

[Maugan_VX]

hullraiser, you may be a fellow catamaran sailor?

If so, check to see if it has a tow hitch. If not get one thrown in

[SGT.BATGUANO]

Hmm, nobody mentioned checking for excessive oil consumption?

Maugan,
Yes, I am a catamaran sailor, I have a Hobie 21se, It can really fly. We were clocked by a kid on a jet ski, he said we were going 30 mph, he couldn't believe it. It is 13 1/2 feet wide, so when you fly a hull you are really flying. It is going to look great behind my Ironman. I also have an International 470 and a Laser, but I never sail them--they are great for the kids.
What do you sail? Hullraiser

Well, I picked up the Ironman today.
He threw in a new CD player that plays MP3s and they fixed the window, but it still isn't working good, so it is going back until it does.
I got nervous and bought a 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty, just in case.
The carpet looks like new and so does the upholstery. It looks close to new.
I was concerned about gas mileage so I filled it up and drove it 21.3 miles, it took only .8 gallons to fill it up again, I was blown away.
I asked about it burning oil, but he didn't know anything and I couldn't see any oil leaks, I will have to wait and see on the oil usage.
I appreciate everyone's help, I can't wait to start fixing it up. I may enter it in an car show, no one I know even knew what it is, it should stir up some interest at a car show.

Congratulations!

I also sail, I have a 1968 16ft O'day ospray, it's just like a daysailer, but a foot shorter. Lasers are fun, and I sailed a 16ft hobie in Cozumel a few months ago, very fun.
