The Blazer and Yukon do quite well.

That's a great looking boat with a lot of character Joe.
I hope you enjoy the hell out of it.

Why thank you JR. I enjoy her all the time.
As for the character... she has charm, and sails with grace and speed.

What kind of Ford truck do you have?

72's a cool year.

I had a 72 that got stolen. It was sweet... 351 windsor,3 on the
tree, AC that would freeze you and a new midnight blue emron paint job
with crager SS rims. Had it less than 3 mo before it was stolen. I
think it's the 72's that have only 5 diffrent keys for all trucks..

Bet you love filling up the gas tank on the Yukon;0)

Actually for a 6000lb truck the Yukon doesn't do all that bad.
On a recent trip from Pa to Fla and back I averaged about 18mpg.

JR

Is that your (Dalmation) dog Joe?

Nice paint job. I'm assuming you had a new bottom treatment also.

Hello Jim,

Was that your Mac out Wensday night near the races at the seaboook
Club?

No that's some truckers dog..He jumped out of a kenworth that was
pulling a cabin cruiser to be offloaded the next morning.

My dog is a Schipperkey named Skipper, suprised you did not meet him
when you came by, he's usually raising hell if anyone comes to
visit...must of been napping or something.

The bottom job was all I did except spotting the hull. The topsides
were done a year or so ago and should last a few more before needing
another coat of paint. I can do that floating anytime. Just buildt a
nice 4X8 float to tend the hull.

You heading out this long weekend? I bet the lake will be packed and
stirred into a choppy froth with all the traffic. I'm planning on a
fishing trip this weekend.

I haven't had time to take the boat out for several weeks because of a
work assignment for NASA, and also, a trip to west Texas for an
astronomy meet. I hope to get out next month and will try to stop by
your dock before you leave for South America.

Jim
