That's a fact.

When I get those 6 powerball numbers in my head I 'll be back down there...

http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o48316-en.html 100 hours divided by 23 years old = 4.3 hours of use per year.

http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o48146-en.html 221 hours divided by 26 years old = 8.5 hours of use per year.

Now that I think about it, when is the last time you saw a big power #6 boat with more than a couple hundred hours on it?????

Brace Yourself would have if he still had the Cig, one of the few people who ran it EVERY weekend....and took insane care of that boat, always SPOTLESS and maintained..
