1973 20ft SF Seacraft - Wet Or Dry?

catchthis · #1 04-13-2003, 11:38 PM

Saturday, 20 miles off shore (nW gulf), 2-3ft chop. Traveled 27mph - got back to the dock, dry as a bone. Other boats' occupants were drenched and complaining about the chop [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] .

Trim Tabs to bring the bow down, spray rails to shove the water out, and a REALLY BIG rain coat!!!!

Oh, and Capt Brad, I have the soldering iron and heat gun ready for all those connections when you are ready!!!!

I don't know too much about wiring but I can certainly make a run to circle K for more beer and ice. Let me know when you are going to get together, I just may take a ride down from Sarasota.

Holiday Isle, absolutely!!!!!
In fact, I will be there on April 26th. Got the girlfriend and her friend riding in the MS Bike Ride from Metro Zoo down to Pennicamp Park on Saturday, 75 miles, then back to the Metro Zoo on Sunday, another 75 miles. I get to trailer the boat down and have it in the water before they get there. In fact, they have me bringing another one of their "friends" down with me this year so she and I are going to launch the boat and hang at the Tiki Bar while we are waiting for the other two girls make their way down by bicycle. Oh, poor me, single guy with three beautiful women hanging on the boat in the Keys. I am a lucky guy!!!
