My wife backed out at the last minute while we were untieing the boats, and I had noone else to ride with. So, rather than running solo, My buddie with the 46 told me to jump on with them. At least that way, I got to take some running shots, and saved 150 gals of Sunoco 110. Not my first choice tho.
Anytime you and Carrie want to join us on the pond, we've always got a couple Cigs and a few Fountains to run with. Just give me a call, you got an open invitation any weekend.

The 40 Skater that had a delamination on the front of the sponson, was because of a previous repair to the boat before the current owner owned it, that was done improperly. Someone previously repaired it with cauk and glue, as you could see it when the outer layer peeled back. We looked at it sunday morning while on the trailer.The SKATER had no chaulk or glue on it and was done by COMPETITION MARINE ,it is being repaired and taken care of by PETER AT SKATER

Sorry I couldn't offer more assistance on Saturday, about the time your son was on the bow looking for the damage we had drifted away, and I had pulled the kill switch and couldn't figure out why the boat wouldn't start again! By then Louie and Tom were there, and I figured Tom would know better than I what to do and that you'd be in good hands. Thank god that ramp at Burnham was 11'8"!
