Default The wife likes the pontoon!

So lasrt evening I was dinking around with it, and she had jsut
returned from her evening walk, and I flashed the 'landing' lights at
her, and here she came. * She said, "I want to get up on it."

OK, so I dug out a step stool and she clomed aboard,a nd walked around
on the platform and she thought it was pretty nice. I pointed to the
captains chair and said 'sit down here and see what you think' *she
did, and thought it was really cool, so I walked up to the front of
the tubes and said, now you can really see how long it was. "Man,this
is HUGE!" she said with excitement, and look, under th seats theres
all kinds of storage for stuff... This is going to be fun!"

I felt good because this is the first craft I've bought that she seems
happy about. *Oh she was kind of exited when I bought the little Chris
Craft, but it was too bumpy of a ride for her in a decent chop, and
when I drug home the bigger 23' ft, she was taking cancer treatments
and didnt' feel like going out of the house, let alone going on any
boat.

But she's excited about this pontoon and wants to drive it. Sounds
good to me, so *if all goes well as far as the weather for this
weekend it's gonna hit a local lake for a "Sea trial" and see what she
really thinks of it then.....

Any time your wife likes anything you like, it's a good thing!

Be happy and rejoice, sayeth someone.
