Just stopped by to see what's going on after being gone about 6 months. The
group looks like it's improving... maybe up to 50% boating related posts? I
actually saw one from Harry. I gotta hand it to him though... serious
passion for his beliefs. Just wish he was on the Republican side! BTW,
where's Skippy?

Near zero interest rates are the main reason for improved big-ticket sales in
all categories.

The Bush administration removed all the money for dredging the ICW and other
areas from the budget. How is that "good for boaters"?

I may be wrong, but I think I saw a post sometime about last year
being very low for boat sales. So when Bush's policies help to bring
down sales and then they finally go up some it looks good? Well, I
suppose that's the same type of mind that can here President Bush say,
"We have a plan to reduce the deficit in 5 years" and not think, "Gee,
when you took over there was a huge surplus and now now only do
you run budget deficts every year but you've increased spending and
put ....." Bla bla bla. By this point you either see the truth or you
don't.

Of course 6 months ago was January...


But, hey, I appreciate that your post was pretty much positivly toned.
That's what
we need more or around here, whether for boating or for OT posts.

As for me, We've been working on Delilah now for about 2.5 years. Over the
weekend
we got the trailer (that we made) back from the painters. It looks GREAT!
This past
weekend we wired up the lights and ran all the brake lines. We were missing
4
adapter/fittings so could not finish the brakes.

We're quite optimistic that NEXT WEEEKEND will be the trailer run. If
everything
goes well then we'll have an "official" launch & christening the following
weekend.

Yea! It's been a long & interesting trip and we haven't even left the dock
yet.

Oh, and THANKS to all the people here that gave advise & opinion along the
way.

On the other hand, if you're one of the .02% of the CITIZENS that think,
don't waste your time with LGB or Lurch and the Ambulance Chaser. A couple
years ago it was widely publicized that Iraq had ONE con/thief/deception
artist that was ripping overyone off.

In the US, we're twice as well off - we get a choice of two.
