thanks super happy! For the time being just keeping it as is, doing maintenance and running her

Congratulations to a special boat! Ex. Morales, then Meshinsky. You & Your gal will enjoy her. 'Smugglers Blues'; I guess last She was a Maple Syrup Runner for Meshinskys'? Better check those fuel tanks. 4 out of 6 might have been for the syrup?


Going gambling with the proceeds?

Congratulations!

#3&5 port motor were the toughest, but done!

Congrats! I saw it listed and was hoping a member would get it.. just awesome! Are you gonna race this one around LI?

best of luck with it,I saw it in A.C. years back,I actually drove by Phil when he was heading to AC in it,I was in my cig and when we arrived at the marina he told me he was the original owner of my boat ,small world.

Congratulations! I saw that boat up for sale. Same dream :-)

Enjoy!!

Congratulations on your Apache. From one owner to another, you will enjoy her tons. Great running machines. We purchased ours about 3 years ago and she is a blast.

Soooo jealous!! I was just talking to Tom Snyder about this the other night! It was killing me watching this AND Only Rumors sit there and not get scooped up and used.... Stoked for you!

Congrat's on a beautiful boat was watching this boat for a few month's just couldn't get my head around canadian to Us exchange rate, I was gonna name it Ollie's Follie's for Oliver North LOL enjoy

Congratulations !! If the border wasn't closed, She would've been mine.

Frank - I remember that day well, but to clarify the story, We blew by you when you were driving our old cig. Lol. But it's true.

I arrived at the marina first!! lol . It was great talking to you guys,hope all is well.

Wow. Very nice Joe! This has been a long time goal for me too! Looking forward to seeing it on the water! You still have the bad ass cruiser?
