Another boat sold?

Rumor has it another boat sale has closed - or will close on Sunday.

Ron Hartley, who took possession of Jim Latimer's Miss Everett after Jim decided he still preferred the nitro boats, has agreed to sell the Everett to Gary Simmons of Snohomish. Gary attended our Seafair Trophy Race last weekend in Monroe, and got bit by the bug. He had hoped to buy Ron's 1977 Squire, but it was already sold to Jesse Shehan before Gary was able to make contact with Ron. As a result, Gary did a little due diligence on the Miss Everett, and ultimately made the decision to join ERCU with a vintage hull.

Gary said he's driving to Moses Lake tomorrow to pick up the boat and its gear from Hartley.
