Well, the numbers are out. Boat sales up 21% vs. this time last year.
Guess
the Bush administration is doing a great job and the economny is
improving!

I may be wrong, but I think I saw a post sometime about last year
being very low for boat sales. So when Bush's policies help to bring
down sales and then they finally go up some it looks good? Well, I
suppose that's the same type of mind that can here President Bush say,
"We have a plan to reduce the deficit in 5 years" and not think, "Gee,
when you took over there was a huge surplus and now now only do
you run budget deficts every year but you've increased spending and
put ....." Bla bla bla. By this point you either see the truth or you
don't.

Just stopped by to see what's going on after being gone about 6 months.
The
group looks like it's improving... maybe up to 50% boating related posts?

Of course 6 months ago was January...


But, hey, I appreciate that your post was pretty much positivly toned.
That's what
we need more or around here, whether for boating or for OT posts.

As for me, We've been working on Delilah now for about 2.5 years. Over the
weekend
we got the trailer (that we made) back from the painters. It looks GREAT!
This past
weekend we wired up the lights and ran all the brake lines. We were missing
4
adapter/fittings so could not finish the brakes.

We're quite optimistic that NEXT WEEEKEND will be the trailer run. If
everything
goes well then we'll have an "official" launch & christening the following
weekend.

Yea! It's been a long & interesting trip and we haven't even left the dock
yet.

Oh, and THANKS to all the people here that gave advise & opinion along the
way.
