Stopped by to see where my boat was born

[Two Peas]

Today was a nice day in FL, so we went for a little drive on Merritt Island:

 

[Jimmy Buoy]

That's Island Rhythm's birthplace as well. I'm assuming that it is no longer in operation?

 

[Two Peas]

Looked very busy. Lots of cars. A brand new '40 DA in the canal dock...

 

[Four Suns]

Your boat was born at Merritt Island?! You sure about that? I thought they only made yachts there. Mine was born at Palm Coast.... about 150 miles north of there.

 

[Two Peas]

Hey, I've been wrong about many things before. I could have sworn I read Merritt Island in my info package (of course it isn't with me).

My serial is SERF9066b202, hull # 619. Maybe someone can check it?

 

[Four Suns]

Your boat was built in Detroit.

 

[Two Peas]

Hockeytown is ok with me.

The boat does seem to handle very well in the ice and snow.

 

[Cocktail Time]

What am I missing here? Detroit?

 

[Two Peas]

Gary's into the second box of wine tonight...

 

[Four Suns]

first... just the first BOX of wine...

 

[Two Peas]

$12.99 a box...

 

[Four Suns]

but it tastes just fine as long as you put it in polycarbonite "glasses"

 

[Two Peas]

Or a coffee mug.

Or just put a McDonalds straw in the top of the box if you're on your own for the night.

 

[katricol]

Two Peas....great banter, cocktail...Gary's waiting for thr TRUE answer which is NOT detroit

 

[katricol]

SERF.... the "F" denotes where it's built. I don't remember, but I think "M" is merritt isle.

 

[Four Suns]

I'm pretty sure "F" is Detroit... At least I've heard "Detroit is F'd" many times.

 

[Lake Erie Boater]

That's Island Rhythm's birthplace as well. I'm assuming that it is no longer in operation?

I think the kid with the smoke is correct.

Mine is a SER"F" as well and I recall from doing my homework that this is the Merritt designation.

Now back to your regularly scheduled sipping.

 

[rondds]

SERF=Merrit Island Florida=solid bottom

Rumor has it they are building Bayliners there now.

Gary's been smoking too many caulk joints.

 

[fwebster]

Don't know why but Merritt Island has 2 location identifiers........F & M.

 

[Two Peas]

Well, the gentlemanly thing for Gary to do would be to trade me the 48DB for the 360DA... it seems only fair. I'll throw in some plastic wine glasses for him.
