Harry,

You do understand the bet.

If you do not provide proof that this is your boat, you will owe me $10,000.
If you agree, I will have my agent, JimH come down your way to pick up my
money.


Do you think that's wise? JimH has proven time and again that he's
unreliable and either a 'natural born liar' or he has some condition
that causes him to lose touch with reality. So you can pity or despise
him....just don't let him hold your money.(IMHO)
