Re: Calling Djd!
Hey kiddo! Yep, still around. Becoming obsolete but still around.
How's things with you? What's new with the boat? I've been bouncing around between CT and FL on my 50 Bertram these days. I'm keeping her up here this winter because of fuel and marina costs going through the roof. I need to take a season off to recover. I'll have my Boston Whaler down there for bay cruising and taking the kids out to the sand bar. When I want to go fishing, I'll charter & still have a few bucks left over in the spring.
Will you be in FL at all this winter?

Re: Calling Djd!
Yup, we're hoping to be down for the Miami boat show, maybe bringing the Cigarette if things work out. You seen my tow vehicle yet?
I installed a Raymarine C-120 multifunction display/GPS and the new RD218 radar antenna. Absolutley fantastic package! It's in front of the passenger/navigator. Autopilot will be next.
I made a change to the induction system last spring by installing a pair of Hurricane intakes and using the 1050 Dominators, along with a pair of mild hydraulic roller cams. The boat runs 70 on a flat lake Michigan day. I might re-install the superchargers just to see how it runs.
You going to be around during boat show time? You thought about getting back into the poker run game?

Re: Calling Djd!
Ya think your tow rig is big enough 
Wow! that has to be a nice ride.
I am going to try for the Miami show.
Autopilot on the Cig? That will be cool. All you need now is a wireless throttle controll
I have not done in a poker run in a long time. I kinda like watching all you guys blow up your $hit from the Bert with one or twelve cold cocktails. I defenately don't miss racing (well, just a little).

Re: Calling Djd!
We've been thinking of making a change to a cat, possibly a 39 Ocean Express. A friend of mine has worked on a couple of them here in west MI and they are pretty much what we're looking for.
Do you have a boat in Stuart?

Re: Calling Djd!
The Bertram is staying north this yr.
I might send the Whaler down or pick up a center console for day tripps. Come to think of it, why don't you leave the Cigarette down there & I could use......eh hem, clean it for you when I'm there
