My wife just laughed at me and said "no" when I told her I was thinking about buying another. Great looking 40. Glws. I think you could be asking more.

@drwright68 haha! I only want to break even- I love these cruisers and think this is a great chance for a new enthusiast to get into the hobby. This 40 got me hooked- I now have a 200 and a 45 as a result!

thanks for the good wishes- at least you tried to get it past the wife! Maybe you can keep asking until she says "yes" to another cruiser

I plan on it! Though it would probably have to be new one for her....45 or 55 for me...2019 for her...I would never spend that for a depreciating vehicle unless the right 45 or 55 came along ha!

Looks like a great start for someone. Heck, even for me but I'm already down the rabbit hole on my 71.

I dont play music, but I'd take $9500 and you can keep the guitar!
