One two week old Dancer on the Rocks, $29,000.00 would be the number.
You keep your probe to yourself pal. As for the story, ask and I shall speak. I lived that moment of stupidity down many years ago. I just blamed it on the cute little blonde sitting on my lap at the time, and the bartender at the Harbor Inn in Morristown.

Must be karma, Gail has the misfortune of the broken ankle, and I get a call today from Susan at BBlades. Brett has pulled the rabbit out of the hat and the props are in the little Brown Airplane on their way to HBW as of this afternoon. This guy is the real deal, yesterday it didn't look like I would see them till next week, then the call early this afternoon. A big Thank You to Brett and his guys in the shop. Now if they just run the big number again I'll be a real happy camper.
BTW Samanthas back would have had nothing to do with this deal, she had already offered to sit it out if need be, and if in fact it actually did take place. Shoot some video of the Black Biotch from someone elses boat.
In his absence maybe 5PM can step up and defend the honor of the Flockers, or you could.

Hey guys, just wanted to " air " out the prices of new parts from Formula, prices from the factory well through the dealer. I talk to people about some other manufactures and there prices that they have to pay for vinyl and some other miscellaneous things are not nearly what formula's are. Just to get Tech service on the phone takes 2 f-n days then to here that one section of vinyl on the back seat not installed was quoted @ $1300.00 thats bs. Don't get me wrong but thats not right. Take care of those older formulas ladies and gentlemen or be prepared to grab your socks! Thank you for letting me rant.

mj,
I feel your pain, had a split seam on the vinyl of my back seat and was told it was $425 from Formula plus installation, less than 2 sq. yds. of material. Vinyl / Canvas guy at our mairna fixed it for $90.

You got out of it cheaper than I did. Larry does some fine work though, the Biotch is lookin' just fine now that he puffed her up a bit and made her smooth.
You heading up tomorow? We were going tonight but I never finished work till 7:30, so we will head up in the morning. Tomorow is going to be one of those "F' it Fridays"
. I gotta get me one of those two day a week jobs like Axa has, I'm getting too old for this chit.FYI : I was all set, 5 blades arrive at HBW tomorow via the little brown airplane, my prized very special occasion lucky hat is all ready, and a grand in folding money to put down with Twins. Looks like this won't be the source of entertainment for you Flockers this weekend.
