Glad to hear all went so well, Tim. You got one hell of a deal. You must
have some great karma!-


"Karma"?


Well? I suppose "Karma" wil be determined by how many gallons this
beast will guzzle over a summer.... ?:

whe I got the boat, the fuel tank was reading at 1/2. you could jossle
the boat a bit and the fuel guage would twitch, so I knew it there was
"something" in there. first day out, I dropped in $50.00 (15 gal)
*gulp!* That raised the tank to 3/4. OK, I feel better now. after
cruising and playing for a bit, retired for the day. Sat, I dropped
anopther $50.00 in it *gulp!* and that raised it to "full" so....


I have now idea how much gas this boat holds, but I'd say it has close
to a 50 gal tank.

Eh, what the heck. If I was worried about economy, I wouldn't have a
boat anyhow.

It's all equated in the "fun factor", John.


Nope, karma is what determined that you didn't get a boat full of sneaky
little problems that would creap up on you when you were least expecting
it!

Sounds like your 'fun factor' was running quite high. Great!
