Rene Marin
I have a Morgan 38 ,382. She has been with us for 8 years now. I have always been amazed at how well the boat is built and how well that handle the elements.
I have consistently thought the boat was way under rated. I have an observation I would like to bounce off of all of you. Morgan 38s can be had cheep. I have NEVER found a correlation of the price tag and how great these boats are...
An very old timer once told me at a boat yard an off handed statement made while he was working. I heard it but it took a while to regester.
"Morgan's only change hands when they have to"
Once you figure that out kid ,you will come to grip with reality."
To which he turned his head and spit, then walked off.
I just stared for a while and a younger guy said, " dont pay him any mind that guy is strange.I think all the solo trips he did way back messed with his head."
I asked him a few days later." I always bring a foam chest with beer in it when I splash my boat after having work done. For the guys just to say thanks."
I asked what he meant by that statement.
"Morgan's , well, they only chage hands on two days.
When the old man can no longer sail her and when he dies and his punk kids sell them off. "
"Morgan owners most never part with them unless they were forced to...... it's like given up a leg or something .that son, is why they never fetch the price they are really worth.
Which is lucky for punks like you.. "delivered with a lot of missing tooth grin.
At the time I was 48.... this guy looks like a textbook old mariner. Grey beard with food and tobacco in it sun beaten face looks like a 3d map of the Grand Canyon.
I went back on board and handed him a bottle of Don Collins rum.
It's been a long time since anyone has called me a punk kid..lmao
