Other than that they're pretty much the same. -- John H I think Tom is a little more straightforward than that. I'm betting he'd either say he didn't want to talk about it... or he'd give factual info not embelished or jazzed up in any manner. |

You find the "present" I left on board??? Say what? See a bunch of funny little dark things I took as rabbit turds. That it? Today I started playing the game of getting the trailer registered. Went down to the Dept of Motor Vehicles only to be told that I have to take the trailer to a Canadian Tire Corp auto service dept and have them do an inspection to make sure your lax 'merican standards comply with our Canadian ones. (thought that was why I needed to make sure the 'compliance' sticker was on the trailer) If the mechanic is happy, he stamps the customs Form 1 paper I received at the border and then I go back to the provincial gov't dept to register. I hope the mechanic can do a safety check at the same time..... otherwise it's back to another mechanic after registration. After that I have to register/license the boat because the motor is over 10 hp As we speak I'm charging the battery up with the small nifty charger. I plan on hitting the water this weekend..... if the weather is good. Might even take it down to the beautiful Bras d'Or Lakes in Cape Breton. |

It sounds and looks like a boat built especially for a man and his dog. What does the wife think of it, now that she's seen it in person? |

Told you... she said it looked bigger than she thought it would. Might get her out for a tour of the North West Arm soon....a boaters paradise with 2 big yacht clubs, a marina and a couple of boat clubs. Nice and protected for a small open boat. |
