Whoooooo-Hooooooooooooo!!!

Thanks for all your advice on my own mini-projects. Thats a long haul to be off the water. Time to go bang some fish and some beer not in that order.

Funny, I have yet to see another old SeaCraft in my area. But I went fishing Friday and had at least 3 people stop and say, wow, nice boat and their jaws hit the floor when I told them she was 20 years old. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Ha Capt Brad
Glad to here you Splashed her. I know how it feels to work on a boat for over a year. For me Fishing is #1 and working on my boats takes #2. This year I did some things on the boat but there is nothing like being on the water especially when your launching out of Homestead and going through Ceases Creek looking towards the reef. What a great feeling. People pay thousands to do what you can do every weekend.
