Looks like I have some cash for a new boat....what should I get?

I just received the e-mail below and while I can hardly believe my good luck, I wonder how big a boat I should get.
A 28-footer might be nice. Any recommendations?

Hey!! I got a different letter from the same guy. He wanted to send me a megabuck and a half. I told him to send it to Darfur to feed the children. He didn't even thank me; ungrateful wretch.

We'll roll that in with all of the lotteries I've won by email and it's Cobalt Yachts for all iboats members......kinda like one of the oprah things that my wife tells me about. Just my little contribution to the fellow members.

Re: Looks like I have some cash for a new boat....what should I get?

Wow Tim. You got ripped. My letter is worth way more. I'm taking with me to the boat show next weekend. I'm sure it's equal to a letter of credit when I buy that brand new Regal 52.

Re: Looks like I have some cash for a new boat....what should I get?

Hey Tim, I think you should get ME a new boat. Yep, that's what I would do if I were you!

Re: Looks like I have some cash for a new boat....what should I get?

Could you please provide the email addy for me.

I would like to give the personal info of the cop that gave me a ticket for no passenger-side taillight. Had all 3 brake lights.

I got rear-ended at 10pm on Christmas night, 200 miles from home.
Cops were called, report made out, drove 15 miles and got pulled over.

Can't seem to catch a break lately, but I'm more than willing to give my $555,555.44 to the officer.

Did you sign any Deed of Assignment in favor of ( JOHN LEWIS ),He further claimed that you died on the 24/06/2006 and you have been buried , thereby making him the current beneficiary with his following account details:

They somehow convince you to deposit money into an account or send them money.

I know, sounds like a leap, but they drag someone along until they concoct some story about how some taxes have to be paid first, etc. Sometimes, people even think they are paid already, but the funds don't clear and the sucker already sent them a lot of cash.

:facepalm:
