[ocuyler]

What's this, the Prozac thread? Add another 10 Mg and you guys will be fine.

Finster....Thanks for the offer....

But I have no room for the boat up here !!! It sits down in Mantoloking [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] ..... but I do get to see it on weekends occasionally [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

This weekend the "First Mate" and I are headed for the AC boat show ..... THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS !!!!! anyone going ????

Miles Offshore - Rutgers, huh? Isn't that Big East territory? (Heard Va. Tech. trounced UConn last night.) Why not the ACC? Seriously, Rutgers has been making a name for itself and gaining respect even as far south as Atlanta. Lots of luck to your son! Hope it means some scholarship $. How many SeaCrafts could be bought for the price of a college education nowadays?

Thanx Merriweather. Big East I. He hs already been accepted to Rutgers so he is going up tommorow for a visit. No $$$offers yet. Still waiting to hear from Va. Tech, Longwood, Mary Washington and a couple of others. Already visited UVA but he didnt care for the campus. A lot depends on his performance this spring as the #1 pitcher at his HS. (Heres hoping he has a geat year). One thing for sure- we are not commiting to any school fr a while. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] He is just blessed that he is left handed and is a pitcher. I wont bore ya cause I can talk baseball almost as much as I talk Seacrafts!!!!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Okay, I hit rock bottom. I ordered another set of boat plans from bateau.com to build a 13' whaler knock off this winter/early spring. I can't find any decent 23' SC rebuild candidates. I built a 14' flat bottom skiff designed by this guy last winter. Very simple to build and sturdy. It took about 100 hours and cost appx $700 all in. You could really do it for abt $500 but I overbuilt and wasted a lot of wood, glass and resin. I'll send pics to John R if u guys want to see it.

Come on guys - its easy. Just follow my lead

Instead of cleaning the tackle, you can rebuild the kitchen counter for your wife.

And instead of tying flies for the trout season, you can re-paint and wall paper the kitchen for your wife.

And of course, instead of building a new rod or two, you can replace the kitchen floor for your wife.

Then, instead of going to the boat and sporting shows, you can take your wife shopping.

Naturally, instead of reading up on methods of restoration and lining up experts to handle the restoration of your classic SeaCraft, you can spend time more usefully by taking your wife shopping some more.

Finally, instead of shooting yourself, you can just go to your office, rev up the computer and (if your a lawyer like me) print out the divorce papers.

TIME TO GO FISHING SOON !!!!!

HEY OTTO

I don't know about the prozac but I'm already into daily doses of zoloft the size of a baseball.

Hey Merriweather,
You know, I was checking my notes and it turns out that I actually painted the blonde with a Benjamin Moore exterior latex semi gloss and a good 4" poly brush!
Dis'in my Huskies ! Shame on you !

Miles - thats fantastic! Good luck to your son!

[Miles Offshore]

Thanx John,I will ride by and check on the status of that Sceptre tomorrow, needless to say the flights out to Phili were cancelled today cause of the snow everywhere else up north, I think we got about 2"of rain. Great CCA fishing show and seminars coming up at the end of the month here if anyone is interested....
