Unanticipated dingy issue

[Dave M.]

Was at my brothers house in Bremerton, visiting him and his wife. I mentioned I was in the market for a dingy and maybe small engine for the upcoming San Juan trip. My brothers wife, Dr. Kay, and I are fiddling around with guitars, she had just gotten a new Martin 000-15S. She lets me know I should forget this boating crap and buy a good Martin instead.

Loaned me her new guitar for a day, just to check it out, and I have to admit it is nice. Very plain, very nice sound. Pretty stiff competition for a dingy. May have to change my sig line.

It would make a great oar? Martin makes a nice guitar and it comes WITH a case! Dinghy's don't get a case and neither do outboards? We'll expect you to bring your guitar next summer. Maybe it will be replaced by one of these???

I think the dingy does come with a carrying bag of some sort. The Martin comes with a very nice case. I had never seen a Martin case before, was surprised by the quality. There is this place in Portland called Pioneer Music ....

You can join my older son Jake playing, he'll be bringing a guitar or 3?

THREE? Do you strap those to the railing or was that the reason you wanted an arch! That's a lot of space! I'm sure it's great once you arrive, but three? No wonder you needed a larger boat! I'd hate to ask what the rest of the family brings!

The Martin's are very nice. I have a 40 plus year old Gibson that collects a lot of dust. I guess I should make sure it still works?

I think the guitar purchase works in this case because. . . .

Searays are to boats as Martins are to acoustic guitars.

Anything can be justified - it’s only when we feel the need to should it be questioned.

Yea but how many miles per gallon does that thing get?

 

[ghuskin]

I say go for the martin. It just may last longer that a dinghy. If no, you have firewood...

Buy the dingy borrow the guitar. When you get really famous on the guitar, you can buy a bigger boat, autograph the guitar and give it back to her. Think about how great she will feel about improving your life!

Darned if I know why the forum duplicated the posting. Of course, it doesn't know how to do a simple delete. Something for the successor to fix.

I'm partial to keyboard instruments myself, but I'd go for the guitar over a dink. BTW, that reminds me of Jimmy Thackery's blues song. Sorry about the poor quality. You get what you get with youboob. I mean tube youtube.

Best regards,
