Let's play Pimp My Boat...
What have you done or had done to a boat you own to make it special? I remember the great job Chuck had done on his tug, making it look better than new. Who else has really upgraded their boat? Include photos, of course. |

Back in the day, on my 27' CC Cavalier, I got the ingenius idea to hang a pair of undershorts on the radio antenna, only because I didn't have a jolly roger to put up there. |

No low flying spans to worry about around here; just a low train trestle
on one route to the ramps at Shilshole Marina (Seattle). I just have to go the other way since completing the Arch.

Harry tries so hard to BS everyone into believing he has his kill files set, and owns fake boats, but responds with the one-liners that are so moronic that most people would be ashamed to type the words. This time the self-proclaimed "writer" stumbles on the word insightful. No need to claim a "typo" here Harry. You simply didn't know how to spell the word. You learned something today! |
