He did do I nice job, Dennis. Just like new, and I will never tell. LOL Wish I could have had him buff up those B Max's of mine before I sold them for $900.00 for junk.

Oh, probably lots of things, I would imagine. LOL I can tell you that was a sick feeling as I went over it. No damage to the hull so was thankful for that. Moments after it happened a local towboat that had been sitting off to the side idled over and the natives said with a big smile on their face " May we help you?" It was an $1,100 towing charge back to my home port. I hate to think that anyone would move a bouy but by my estimation a green marker was about 50 ft from where it should have been. I think it was a $50K insurance claim. I was back boating following weekend with 3 new XR's.
