First off ….It was great meeting everyone !!! wish Finster could have made it ….I’m sure it was killing you that you couldn’t come out to play !! Otto and Tom ….seems that you don’t mind traveling but its still to bad your not more local !!!

Jeff.... I kinda got that feeling ... you know when the "First mate Jack" started to pull your hat over your face !!!...Hey bottom line he was good while we were there...Just wished we had taken the photo earlier... Did you get to the electronics guys ??? I might just take you up on that offer to paint [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Hey Otto and Tom ....when did you guys get home ??? [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Like I said I think we could have spent the whole day shooting the *#&$ .... didn’t even need to pay the $15 to get inside !!! Glad you had something to keep you awake for the ride !!! Do you guys remember what was the guys name/boat name that had the 23 with the Yanmar and .. did I hear Bow thruster ??? I know he said he was in the Shark River ...but I never really got to talk to him ...I guess he’ll show up here ... I hope

Jeff…Yes I was on the Silver one with the I/B ... not bad ... but as many know its a 1 foot longer SeaCraft !! The salesman was funny ...nice guy ... just goes on about the ride and everything ....Then asks "What do you have???? " HeHeHe.. talk about having the wind taken out of your sails !!!! ...and it looks like I'll go with the Birdsall post ....unless something else comes along more appealing , we tried out the Silverhawk’s post and it just wasn’t as comfortable....felt like you were being pushed forward off the seat...I'm sure it could be modified....but that Birdsall post has a great look… especially on all the SeaCrafts at the show..at least for me..

To tell you the truth I didn’t spend too much time on the boats .... might have been on a half dozen or so .... The Predator is real nice ..... but at around $450,000 It will have to wait [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Then played around on the boat I use to work on, the 45 Viking....The crew quarters are larger and the salon is smaller (don’t understand that move) very, very pretty boat....and it better be at just under $1 Mil.....
Never got on it but that boat in the SeaCraft area..the custom built Jersey Cape I think??? looked pretty nice and had really pretty lines...might have to go visit Frank to see that one !!
Spent alot of the time dodging people in the vendor area....looking for fuel tanks, bought some electronics (for example .. Standard Fuel gauge FF41 for $95 ... I think it normal price is close to $200.... I should have bought 2 !!!) Life rafts (anyone know anything about Winslow liferafts ….very small valise…Switlik still has first vote though), Fischer Canvas, boat trailers and on and on……
