The other one is a 420 aft cabin. Another one on my short list when the time comes. I love the Sea Ray style.
Correct......We sold the 420 about 2 months after Cool Breeze II. Very sad story on it however. The guy that bought it was supposed to be very experienced, but not in SC waters. He was scheduled to take the 420 on a Friday in June, 2018, I forget exact date. He had never run the boat at all. He pitches up on Thursday afternoon, him, his wife, and another couple are going to take the boat to Beaufort SC. His plan was to leave on Friday and go to Charleston, spend the night, and on to Beaufort the next day. Going to Charleston is fairly ambitious to do in one day, on one of these. He stated he was running outside from Georgetown to Charleston, not the waterway. Even so, that is going to be a very long day, its 4 hours from Myrtle Beach to Georgetown alone on one of these. He was 76 years old too. I begged him to stop in GT and enjoy the trip, gave him all info and where. At least he would get some time on the boat and get a feel for it without the rush......
I figured if you were going to be that ambitious and was dead set about getting going and going all the way to Charleston, a fellow would be going at the crack of daylight. Not this bunch, they very leisurely left at around 11 am on that Friday!!!!!! Still determined to go all the way to Charleston. Even running outside it would be 7-8 hours of hard running. Running inside it would be 10-11 hours of running. Off they go. I had spent a couple of hours with the guy the day before just showing him the systems and how everything run. About 2 hours after they left I got a message on my phone, something about the GPS not on, working, something like that. I called back, no answer. Nothing wrong with GPS or those units, they were brand new, I mean a couple of months since installed new....... worked perfectly, problem was, he had not figured out how to run the boat or systems yet.
We didn't know anything until two weeks later and we got a call from our broker that handled the sale. Our man had run the 420 up hard on the jetty in Charleston going in that night, and sunk the boat, total loss. Coast Guard responded out of Charleston, lucky no one was seriously injured.
Moral of the story is, he should have slowed down, enjoyed the ride to begin with. He didn't have a job to go to or an agenda. He could have taken the extra time. The other part is, he should have spent more time with the boat. Had it been me, I would have arrived a day earlier than he did, and took the boat out on some short runs just to get used to it and the electronics. But he didn't. It was sad for us, we had put a lot of time and effort in the boat.
