Boating season for me around here is sometime in April until maybe Thanksgiving. Pristine is for sissies and people who want to do nothing but work on their boat. I have a work boat. I don't have a problem crashing into the mangroves to rescue a pelican twisted up in monofilament or picking up big chunks of dock floating in the water so your boat can stay "pristine". My "ritual" when I put my boat away is Hook up the lift cables and turn on the lift Unload the bigger trash we picked up Pick up my trash can, the cooler and Ed's water jug. Gather up anything else we brought down By then the boat is up and I go in the house. I chose this kind of boat because I don't have to screw with it I make sure it floats, the nav/safety equipment works and I take care of the motor. (better than most people) Everything else is cosmetic and I am not a cosmetic guy. Some egotistical people would rather show off a pristine boat than actually use it. On the lake here, I see people unload big, beautiful boats off of the trailer, load a ton of crap in it, motor about 50 yards to the cove next to the resort, anchor and that's it. See and be seen. Why come down on Harry's ego just because he keeps his boat 'pristine' (if he has a boat, that is). -- John H. Hope you're having a great day! |
