Yeah it would be an emotional event for sure to see it at state dock. I'm sure we will meet next summer as we have a mutual friend just up the river from you.

Just curious was the boat listed for sale anywhere or did you seek it out? Always wondered about the whereabouts of it.

The boat was not listed for sale nor did we seek it out. It's a long story how we ended up with it! Not only did we get a gorgeous boat but we made a lifetime friendship with the owner's daughter. It was truly meant to be!

Glad to hear the boat found a good home. I was scanning thru some old pics the other day and ran across some I took rafted up in Cumberland. Made me wonder.. That remains one of my all time favorite boats.

If you need any help with the electronics upgrades, feel free to hit me up. I'll happily donate my skills to help update that icon.

Bests,
