....though the turnout was not quite as big as in years past, the hard core good folks did turn out to support Mark and Wendy. They do this every year for their customers / boaters and I feel it's kind of an insult to them to not make the effort to show up and support their efforts...

Hot Stepper,
Don't know if Mom made it to the porch. We ended up back over at Bonnie with Jon and Andrea for some food, like we needed it, and cocktails. Was sort of a belated Anniversary deal for them. Also a bunch of other folks were back over there as well. Some went bar hopping downtown, 1/2 block hop from Skiffs to the Docksider, only places open.
5PM,
Prices out just north of 3/4 of a Mil at the showroom discount price. Big diesels with the new Zeus drive system and loaded to the nuts with a top end of 40 mph. Very innovative design inside and out, Sea Ray did their homework on this one. No incriminating pics from the weekend, this is a class act, what happens in the Bay, stays in the Bay.

So you feel that since, let's say, certain "hard core folks" didn't show up it was an insult to HBW? Were those the words from Mark and Wendy? She didn't say anything like that to me on the phone the other day. I'll call her tomorrow and check to see if that is how they felt.

What I specifically said was that "I feel it's kinda of an insult to them not to make an effort to show up". At least that looks like what I said.
Mark and I go back some 25+ years. Years ago it was pizza and wings at his house every friday night during boating season, with Mark and Wendy, Ritchie, the Koes, Christopher and I, and sometimes some others. Christopher and I always went to the Syracuse show and Mark always included us in the after show dinner with the gang. We always did the pre-poker run parties he had years ago. I've worked for him for quite a few years now, worked the Syracuse show, Samantha has always helped babysit on the show boats, we hang out and do dinner at the end of the day with Mark and Wendy. Always do the Parties in the Pavillion when they have them. Mark and Wendy are some very old and close friends. So yes, I would consider it somewhat of an insult for I / Me / Us to not make an effort to show up for Boaters Weekend.
So I guess you shouldn't put words in my mouth here, or that of anyone else either.
BTW the general consensus, as of this past weekend, is that you owe Samantha a big time serious apology for the accusatory E-mail of 12/22/08. Maybe someday you too will find out exactualy who the "HIGH" level carbon trigger is. In the meantime take it as fact that you are wrong, man-up and work on the apology to Samantha.
Oh, and a thumbs up to Endicott's "best and only .... ..... within 100 miles". Bang up job.

Well done piece or sure. Yes, Mark says it is going to the show for sure.
And BTW I heard this past weekend that you may be privy to some real priceless information
. We need to have a serious phone conversation!!! I'd give a nut to know if what I heard is in fact true.

Samantha is still waiting. Today would be a good day!
