No need to get testy here. The 10K was a guess on my part. Honestly have no real idea what old Birds weigh. If you remember I mailed you and Bird the old Formula brouchers I came across, thought you guys might think they were interesting.


Would be interested in your thoughts after you get the run in that 700 Six Drive 42 Lightning.

Far as what the Biotch is worth ..... for sure less than what I have in it!!! Such is life, still puts a smile on my face. Afterall, that was what I paid for. Guess I'll just call it a wash.


P.S. I think I'm around 12,500 on the trailer, inc the trailer, with some amount of fuel in the thing. In my mind not a real Cannonball race rig, IMO a Road Hog. WTF I'm old and stupid.

Recommend an adhesive. I'm sure Latham wants $50 for a new one.

Just rip the thing off and be done with it. Can't see the F'n thing when the boat is in the water anyhoo. Like the Merc decals, they look great on a trailer queen but they all come off in the real world.

However, My Fountain steering decals are still hanging in there. They were put on with Ron Popeil glue in a can, real good chit!!!

Don't be bustin' on maintence. An ounce of prevention is said to be worth a pound of cure.


So they say.
