Good to run into you as well John. John Cherico, Joe Ciampa, Ron Borretti, should be familiar names to you that come to mind, that still are active, regular MSBA monthly meeting attendees. You should tag along with Dad to a monthly meeting !!
I have lots of good memories to this day of the old times with those tin boats, though my brother got the brunt of it with the 14 and 16 ft. tins. I had the luxury of the 16' MFG and then the 19' LoneStar deep Vee (the one my Dad bought salvage with the chunk out of the side)
Man those guys in their day were hardcore Stripermen !
See you around town or out on the water.
