Sadly, that's it for the Grady.

Too bad.

Now, onto other boats.

I was really young, but I think my uncle bought a new Edsel that had
that same color scheme.


I think that is the first (apparently professional) website I have
ever seen that was written so poorly as to only display in micro$oft's
browser.

When it didn't display in FoxFire, I checked the index page and it
failed validation with 539 errors.

I hope they do better with the boats!



That is one butt-ugly boat, and what's with the huge decks on top of the
gunnels, or are those optical illusions?



Forgot...I love this part:

· Triple F350 Yamaha’s - 67mph

· Triple F250 Yamaha’s - 58mph

· Twin F350 Yamaha’s - 56mph

· Triple 250 Evinrude ETEC’s - 58mph

· Triple 300 Evinrude ETEC’s — TBA


Not because of the high speeds, which are sort of silly, but because of
the fuel burn that sort of hardware implies. What do we have here, 50
gallons an hour at cruise to go fishing? Insanity.
