I did so per request. GA is full of trees in the median-- had we passed in opposite directions; so I spun around North and hung out at an on-ramp for a few minutes.

As Rich and I found out. We passed each other at mile marker 13 in GA and that's where the trees were in the median.

In the barn at 10:57am? Are you kidding me? No sir! It was on a rack getting the road rash washed off...waiting for Diane to return with boat dog and champaigne.

I even had time to top off the tanks and wash the bow off. Jezz the hatches caught a lot of bugs.

Then, off we went. We took BillR's wife for a ride and met up with BillR and JonB who were prop testing Jon's rebuilt engines. Put a couple of hours on her. She now has all of 3.5 on the hour meters. Engines ran great! Need to figure out why the amp isn't working though.

Got her washed, flushed and in the barn just as the rains came. The folks at my new boatel are the best. They customized my bunks per Pat's direction and it fits perfectly!!!

My wife is still grinnin' from ear to ear. She now knows why I came back from Florida doing the same.

Thanks Pat, Jay, Diane and all the AT crew! You build a beautiful boat!!

Everyone is gaga over the paint job. Bill did take some running pics today, but you guys will have to wait until Jammin' to really see it.

I took some camera pics. Will post em later if they turn out ok.

The pics don't do it justice. It is simply stunning in the water.
Jon's boat ran well - no issues - Joey Griffin motors. Now he has to find the right prop as mine was a tad too much.

Congrats on the boat Mactive - don't let the dog crap or puke on that beautiful carpet. Never seen that in a boat before. Nice!!!
