There's a local guy around here that has loads of dough that he's
gained by rather undisclosed means that has an 85' "something" sitting
docked at Ky. Lake. Every fall he fires it up and ICW's his way to
Florida where it sits all winter and he flies back. then in the
spring, he fires it back up and moves it back to Kentucky lake and int
he fall he repeats the process.


And that's about it.


Too bad he doesn't post here.
Not sure what your point is.
If you take out Wayne, what you said he does is about 20 times the total
boating of all the so-called "boaters" posting here.
Was that your point?

Jim - About to give up on this trash heap. *Almost every post here gets
deleted unread.


My point was really nothing but an exampelary comment concerning the
"bigger" boats and how they seem to be "marina queens" as far as what
I was saying about this guys luxury liner being a dock queen.


It is.
