YES BOB!

You are right. The economy holds deals to be had for the right customer with money in hand.

The problem is, none too many have the cha ching.

Sad state of affairs, really.

It is all George Bush's fault...

Granted the interior was rather spartan, the panel had Skyviews with Apollo gps/com, and the engine was 300smoh. He probably could have got his pink slip, but he decided he wanted to upgrade a few items. With the economy being what it is, there are deals out there.

I do agree that there are deals to had, but even what you just described involves work to either finish, inspect / certify, or outright build. Thats a no go for me right now.

Spike, Google it.

I think everyone un the US knows what that means. No need to scratch your head.

It is political sarcasm at it's finest.

It's not a fire sale, but it does include air conditioning already plumbed.

Have you guys seen the new Synergy project, currently in development? I just learned about this recently, and I've been following it with some real interest. This project is amazing! I even became a small-donation backer after reading about the possibilities. It will seat 5 people.

Rather than try to describe it, I'll let them speak for themselves:
