Thanks Snook & Bones, we are really looking forward to a good time, crackin' open a few cold ones & learning more about these old tubs. Mine is pretty basic & original, actually a little scary with the 150 Yamaha & the 20" transom... Are you bringing kids to the shindig? How old are they?

Ledfoot- Yea, I'm bringing 3 kids- Corbin 9, Jonas 6, and Ansley 4. Briguy's son Jack is 3 I think. My kids were on a SeaCraft by the time they were 6 weeks old........ .

Ok, were they conceived on a SeaCraft...

These boats tend to excite more then just a mind rush.

See ya, Ken

Oh yeah, just grand kids for me, no young-uns'
coming with the Mrs. & myself...

Watch out for those Sceptre guys..............

Dan, I love the new avatar pic.

[Snookerd]

Thanks Frank. I am trying to make the pic a bit bigger and put it in my signature. Jupiter Lighthouse is the big symbol of growing up in Jupiter and the kids, well, they are my life outside of my SeaCraft

Here is your Big brother lighthouse

I grew up in Palm Beach, as well. Grandparents lived on Brazilian in Palm Beach, I grew up in Lake Worth and Palm Beach Gardens. I was the Dockmaster at Waterway Marina at PGA blvd and the ICW back in '83-'84, when Frank Brown was right across the street.

I learned to waterski in sight of that lighthouse. I've run in Jupiter Inlet in a 25' Robalo when it was 9-15' offshore and breaking 20' in the inlet 'cause we didn't have the fuel to ride the Nor'easter out, and knew an anchor wouldn't hold. I've also run out the mouth of the inlet when it was as smooth as a sheet of glass at over 70 mph in a 30' Velocity. I knew Jupiter well. I hav'nt been through it in 16 years.

I hope to see y'all at Long Point, though I can't stay the night.
