Is The John a boater again? Just in time...we were drafting legislation to ban disruptive non boaters from the group. ;-)

Had a great time yesterday . Put 3.25 hrs on my break-in schedule touring the North West Arm, harbour, Eastern Passage area and the Bedford Basin.
Only 8.75 hrs to go and I'll have my full 20 in.



A boat with a straight Chevy 6? Really? How interesting.


The odd thing is...in the spring when I announced my new boat The John and his Drama Queen, Justine, ridiculed me for being dumb enough to buy a boat with a Mercruiser engine over an outboard equipped boat. There were dire tales of manifolds and elbows rotting away as soon as it touched salt water and the high cost of replacement. Now The John buys an older I/O powered boat. What's up with that?


If you doubt us, ask your salesman.

I'm a good maintainer. Besides, I got a great deal on this boat. Now, quit your name-calling and
join a discussion.

Gosh, I mentioned that a few weeks back. Must have missed it, eh?

I'm thinking it needs a bit of a tune-up, but it should pull like a clydesdale. Maybe I'll name it
'Clyde', just like that old 850T Guzzi I put 137,000 miles on.

I saw the pics . When did you get that? Beautiful classic Tri-Sonic on a dual shore lander trailer.

NIce!

Congratulations!

I mentioned writing the check a few weeks ago - 15 June to be exact. It needs a bit of work, but I
think it'll be a sweet ride once fixed up.
