Armand you were famous for your other boat.
Now you will have to start over again. Paint her blue and white with a red bow. A floating sign.:laughs:

Thanks everybody, Duke it took me a long time to get that blue boat to look that good *HAHAHA :laughs: :laughs: :laughs: I've got a reputation thanks to that blue/white baby. *not sure how good though. Kippy it's a 21' not including the gill bracket. So probaby 22.5 or 23. Now I won't feel so bad telling everyone I went out to Stellwagon or Sharks Ledge.

Well I've been running a 1960 all glass Glaspar with a lot of modifications. It's got a hard top roof and a 1977 Evinrude 115 on a hydraulic bracket. It's 19.5 ' long. I'll probably be selling it soon. It will go pretty cheap.

Thanks Jim, I took it for a ride a couple of days ago in the Bay and It rides like a much bigger boat. Doesn't feel like the old 20' did.

You don't have to decide just yet. You still have a coupla-two tree munts. Maybe take a walk down to social h'ocean to think on it.

You can go when the Mrs makes her stores on Tursdee. Geez, I remember when good steak was a buck-tree-80 at Collamati's.

Remember Collamati's? They were bought by H'Almacs where I worked for Al Collamati. He used to make me "pick up" the meat room at the end of the night.

(Obviously I'd go with "Side By Each, Woonsocket, RI")

Anyway, nice boat, good luck with it. :D

Yeah but I just remember next time you go through my ocean - you go around :)

Here's a pic of the old boat if anyone is interested in it I'll take $1,200.00 for it. The head was rebuild last year it needs control cables right now.
