I've been busted a few times myself. "Unauthorized major purchase" is the charge. I've tried a few things like "You won't believe it but Ted gave me this new powerwasher." Babe someone parked their Harley in the garage!." It doesn't work. With the new Admiral for the past 25 years we have an agreement, if it's in the budget go for it. It makes me really think twice before I buy something for the boat or the truck. I always say it's safety related like a new big screen GPS/Sonar combo and the aggressive tires for the Silverado. It is strange though new furniture, area rugs, towels, bedding, and decorating stuff is always in the budget, always never a question.
That well priced barge looks so similar to the SC we rebuilt in the winter of 15/16. Then Mr. Georgia pointed out that it is basically a StarCraft. We turned it into a centre council, I didn't enter it in the SC rebuild contest because some things were just done wrong per the cheap owner and hardheaded Newfie buddy.
I'll tell you what Joe, if you don't jump on it someone will, soon. I wouldn't go above $700.00 though.
