I don't understand... - dl_gish - 02-16-2007 13:51
Ive never had a motorhome and was led to believe Bluebird was a high
quality, strongly built, well finished coach worth the money. I heard
there was great comraderie among the owners, so I looked in on the
group. I read a post from a fella who had to sell his RV and I simply
sent him a note saying I might be interested. My email address is
Hatteras61, and that seemed to set off a flurry of busybody's intent on
making a big deal about a boat name. Point is, I think you guys
reactions are really petty. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Dale,
I am sorry that you felt the guys were having a good time at your
expense. Your perceptions about Blue Bird are correct. It IS a top of
the line product. I am afraid that overly reacted to your email
address, at least those that know what a 61 Hatteras is all about
anyway. So, don't leave this bunch yet. We like to have fun while we
are here on the forum. They are a really good group of people who will
do anything to help a fellow owner.

Very well said, Terry, Thank you very much. Personally, I'd like to see a
picture of Dale's yacht. I put some flooring in a 42 footer last year- even had
Cruise Airs!

Me too Ernie! I know what a 61 Hatteras is all about. It is more than
just a "yacht". It is a statement of who and what you are.

Welcome to the forum. We are all very friendly folks just havin' a little fun
guessing. I'll pick up my bet and winnings.
As for being petty, and being ashamed of ourselves , that ain't happening and I
respectively refer you to your original post wherein you stated something about
the coach being to rich for your blood. Did I read that?
Bluebirds are the finest coaches made. If your crew can take care of a ' 74
Hatteras then no problems with the motorhome. Personally, I think it is great
that you have a
' 74 Hatteras. I hope you go buy a 120'. Just don't bottom dollar a person who
possibly may be in need. Most of us are at least acquainted.
Come on over to Destin, FL, I'll have a few with you and I'll pay> My partner
is a yacht mechanic just in case.<<<<<<..>>>>>>

shape...not like me to be snooty. I have boated all my like and have
worked my way up the Hatteras line from 34' in 1960 as I suspect many
of you have with the fine Bluebird brand. My comment about "too rich
for my blood" referred to the fact that it was a '03 model and likely
more than I had planned to spend, that's all. What's a going price
for an '03 38 footer? Any other advice?

Dale,
It think it is great. I'm an ex-boater myself I won't hold anything like owning
a 74', or a 10' Livingston for that matter, against you. When I saw the post I
thought that Leroy was sending a cryptic message that I didn't understand. I
don't think anyone takes exception to you boat. Please don't take it that way
and stay with the group. I bought a Blue Bird after the boat for the same
reason you seem to be interested in them. Actually, my impression is that a lot
of the forum members are either current or former boat owners.
Stick with us Dale, You'll enjoy the experience. A lot can be learned that will
benefit all of us.

Very well put Dick. Thanks to you.
I kept a Tollycraft (34 Sedan) in LaConner for about 10 years. Lots of
good fun. I can navigate the islands without any kind of charts.
Probably even today. Miss the salt though. It has been in my blood for
35 years. You can only have good times on a boat, of any kind.

I don't understand... - Leroy Eckert - 02-16-2007 16:53
I started this so let me explain.
Yes, in fact it was cryptic..(ambiguous, hidden, and possibly occult with Smoke
and Mirrors. Even magic. )
The message was very simple. It was about the BB family. In a family you
cannot pick and choose components, you are in or your are out. I may be out
after this.
If we are to be a BB family, mechanical functions are just a part of the family.
While every owner is responsible for their own financial matters, we as BB
family members routinely express our opinion of value, and in doing so somehow
attempt to protect current members and wannabee's. Our efforts also protect the
value of our coaches. Value may not mean anything to anyone else, but I will
protect my interest in my coach, whatever it takes.( the most important part of
the cryptic message.)
I respectively invite you to review the original post. Some how you cannot own
a Hatteras '61 then a '74, while a M380 suddenly becomes a "little to rich for
my blood" (would that statement be cryptic?) I didn't make this up, I read the
post.
Being a prior owner of one of the finest offshore boats ever built (Warlock,
Corona, CA) , the post was not about boats, it was about family. It was
cryptic, and my brain is sideways. I'm protection the value of our coaches.
