You can always tell your wife that boat belongs to a customer.
Good luck with the boat. I am sure we will see each other on the lake.
Where is your shop?

We do plenty of boating! Plenty of trips from hammond or EC to downtown, michigan city, new buffalo, portage, etc. Covering 30-50 miles of water on a saturday is pretty common. We do however find time to raft up and have some cold beverages!

Brad Zastrow 12-02-2010 12:52 PM

30 miles is 15 minutes of boating on a cat. LOL.
Seriously I do know you guys have a great time and go out more often than I do. Now if winter would hurry up and end....

How many hours and what engine model is in it? Check for any signs of wood rot, stress cracking, etc. Soft spots on the floor, excessive slop in the steering, gimbal, etc.
