Q: How many community organizers does it take to screw in a light
bulb? -


A: Nine. One to screw in the light bulb and eight to organize the
busloads of protestors to the nuclear plant that powers it.


lol!


LOL! I thought that was kind of cute.


BTW, But buddy just bought a 26 foot Harris at a bank repo. Man did he
get a good deal, too bad the 70 horse Johnson is ruined because
somebody ran some E-85 in it, but we're thinking of mounting that 115
hp Evinrude on it. The one with the barely used power head that I got
last year for a hundred bucks.


Schweeeeet!


Go for it. Sounds like a good deal. A 115 on a 26 footer doesn't seem like
overkill to me! Is this a pontoon boat or a real boat?


It's a pretty nice pontooon John that needs a bit of cleaning and some
general work work..
some people got it, abused it, blew it up then let the bank have it
back.


I'll tell you what, if I lived on a nice, quiet lake somewhere, I think I
could get used to a pontoon boat right quick. I'd have to keep the Key West
in reserve, but the idea of barbecuing my fish just minutes after it's
caught is very appealing.

Of course I'd have a BBQ on the boat!

The Brockway is the best of both worlds.. It is big enough to
comfortably BBQ, a couple of lawn chairs, and can go out in a little
rougher conditions than the pontoon in some cases.. I knew a chick
that had a nice pontoon boat down in Essex, and used to come up river
a lot, but any sign of weather sent her scurrying off home.. and she
was as much of a lifelong boater as any.. She said the pontoon was not
good in any waves..

Here it is... http://yaimkool.com/

Take out the center thwart, add some floatation and side seating, and
off you go..

But as long as it is *their* crap, the BORGmen think it is fine to post
in here.

Along with the guitar crap, the golf crap, the cloned grandchildren
crap, et cetera.

It is kind of funny how that the Seven Little Schitts think that a
newsgroup with virtually *nothing* being posted is an improvement, or
that JustWait describing how he plans to bounce a boat off a trailer is
the sort of interesting boating "advice" that might prove useful to others.

BTW, did you know that Herring is taking golf lessons?

What's next, a photo of a zit on the face of one of his cloned
grandchildren?
