I'm anchored out in 'Manitee Pocket' near St Lucie inlet @ Stuart Florida learning to become a diesel mechanic (guess diesels don't like salt water--go figure).There is a prestine Commander tied up at a little marina close by...REAL NICE boat...light blue hull,shiny and great brightwork.Is it a member??? Darn camera is on the fritz or I'd post a pic....guess they don't like salt water either.;)

My cameras LOVE salt water, a couple of them have loved it so much that they never came back:o

The registry shows that to be EBB TIDE, owner is Ed Hudson of Pace FL. We could use the state registration number, if you have a chance.

If so...it is sold...and to a loving owner. Looks like recent paint both hull and deck with all brightwork GLEAMING. I'll try a pic. Hull # is accurate....I dingied over and looked....the plate was also 'polished' !!

All right, this is killing me. Somewhere on this forum are pictures of a Commander (I think) with freshly painted topsides very similar to this one. Sorry, I can't remember whose boat and my searches have turned up nothing. Anyone else remember? :confused:
