Re: Florida Boaters: This is a MUST read....
Dean, I just listed all four website addresses in the first post.
I also sent all the info you just posted to Daniel and Steven @ CFFW to be sure they were aware (which I'm sure they are). Thanks. Russ

Dean, the first "West Coast Chapter" meeting went extremely well last night. Had sixteen people show up (five of my buddies called and couldn't make it for various reasons) and all joined. Six were there thinking it had to do with a RR trestle issue we're having over here, and liked what they hard so they joined. One thing that hurt is the pubic service announcement had the blasted date wrong.
Between last night and OSO, that makes either 21 or 22 new members this week.
Come on the rest of you Florida Boaters. Pony up the 25 bucks and join. We need everyone, we need the numbers.

Like I said to Russ, "If you're not getting "on board" with this effort, you're not gonna get "on board" anything in a few years!"

James,
That's great, because as you probobly already know, Lee county is ground ZERO, as far as the $MC and the Feds. are concerned!
We, here in Brevard Co., are #2 Thanks,
Dean

Those four Verados are so quiet, maybe I can fool 'em into thinking that there are only two...
Whaddya think?

WB,
NOW you are talking!
The last thing the $MC wants is for the Manatee to be SAVED!! If that were to happen, they would all be out of a job!! We want to see pics of that badboy Mid. Ex! A friend of mine actually did some hull design work for M.E.
Dean
Nick,
Way to go! How's the Cig. running?
