Predator on the Loose!
 
I was at Keywadin on Saturday and saw a "Predator" on the loose :party-smiley-004:

Also saw a sweet Fountain canopy! who owns that boat?

That would be me,Dan, but most of the time if I am at Keywadin I will be in a black 38 lx Fountain if you see me stop and say hi. merry-xmas!

Yes we were on the loose alright ! LOL Back again this afternoon. We loaded up the boat, went down to Everglades City for lunch then stopped by Keewaydin for awhile. Lots happening as usual.:drink:
Call me after Xmas and well see if we can get you out on the water for a bit. 239 776 0481:D

Yep,

I just got the same report of a Predator and Fountian Race boat at Keywaddin yesterday. You all made my nephews day:D
He could not wait to tell me about it.

Question: Is spending 2 hrs polishing my exhaust tips getting too obsessive?:cool-smiley-011:

Hello John. I used to joke that my next boat I would just leave all white so I would go unnoticed wherever I go. With the agony I am going thru right now over paint scheme and colors for the new boat I'm thinking all white makes a lot of sense ! :D

As for 2 hrs polishing exhaust tips, can't say other than I think it is cool that you care about your boat enuff to do that. I think the payoff will happen when you decide to sell. May not bring a much higher price but will sell long before the average boat.:D

But Bob, I thought the paint scheme for the new rig was already settled. I am sure I remember discussing it with you at Raymonds party.:evilb:

Hey Bob,

Just to rule that thought out, When you drive around in a 50' Nor-tech, I don't think it matters what color it is, You are DEFINATELY going to be noticed:D.

As to my question, my wife kept coming outside and shaking her head at me yesterday. After I thought about it, it made me laugh. But I am sure I am not the only one of us with OCD as concerns our pride and joys. I have the next two weeks off of work and I don't get my motor back until Thursday or Friday so today I am in the engine compartment with a tooth brush:D Jack with the 38 cig flat deck is my inspiration. You could eat off of any surface in his bilge.

I have spent the last 3 days painting a 3 liter 225 outboard, now who has it bad??? At least it is finally mounted on the boat, now lets see if I can get it rigged for new years??? So where is this Keywaydin place??? sounds like somewhere I need to visit.

Yep, that be me alright. Had some family on board with some little ones so if you were wondering why I was only running about 40 MPH that was the reason. Took them over to Keewaydin shelling while I took in the scenery ! LOL:cool-smiley-026:
Are you staying at the Marriott ?

Keywaydin is just north of Marco Island. It is by far one of the best boating beaches in SWFL. The front side is right on the Gulf and the back is in its own little bay. Lots of things to do and see. You will have to come over for the canoe races. It is amazing what happens on that weekend.:D

She moved here from Sweden some 18 years ago, so I've spent christmas here every year since 89. Kind of like here.
