Man,
What an awesome day in FL! It's 63 deg. right now, going up to 79, and the USAF Thuderbirds are flying at the Melbourne Air show today at 3 PM. Going to drop the Talon in the water and run down the ICW 20 miles and watch the show.

Nice! Mine is down for repairs or I'd be on the water too! Have fun!

Yeah that is in the plans when we redo our seawall and dock. Although the State won't allow me to extend my roof, (impacts shrimp larve development! )

Check into an Indian chiki hut top. I was recently told that they are exempt from the regulations and permit requirements. Don't know if that's true but worth checking out.

BP,
Thanks for the idea, actually another part of the Big plan, is to sell the 388, and move the 25 Talon onto this slip. We just aren't using the 388, my wife as a BAD neck problem, and she doesn't boat all the much anymore, (Unless we canal cruise in the Hydrostream) the 388 hasn't been on the water since 7/4/14...

I couldn't get to my computer to properly write you a note -- long and short very happy to learn about your day on the water -- WOW-- Water and the Thunderbirds -- glad you had a great time-- take care of that Bride of yours -- nothing worse than not having a full crew on the water

oh yea - the boats look great too!

All the best
