You bet and Thank you, I will have it as good as new by spring, got it at my friends shop here in MI, Kustom Marine and he does great work. Getting the deck sanded down and re cleared to start then from top to bottom retune, will be ready for may 21 tres martin training class here in MI. Looking forward to the season.

Congrats on getting her home and in the shop! I just noticed your updated boat descriptions. Is 'Energy Crisis' going to be her new name?

Congrats again If I remember right I think Tres did a class on your boat at SML with Rich about 3 years ago so he's familar with the boat. Sorry we missed you in Miami. We got over to the Marriott about 3 and Pat said you had been by earlier.

Yeah brian was telling me the story on the 180 turn they did on it, I cant wait to put it through its paces with a pro on board. Have to get it back into tip top shape again so we look good out there.

Correct.

We did the "On water" portion on Rich's boat.

AT's are not much different from the boat you have, except you won't trim out as much and the pivot point will be more forward. The big difference will be in the ride.

He is still spinning that yarn??? Did he begin by saying "one time; at band camp". . . . . .


It was a turn - yes we did turn around, but it was just a turn, nothing special. In fact we did about 20 of them as we kept running back and forth in an area close to Rich's house.
