Ageed, I had a '26 w PC pipe platform, and if I were to do it again I'd do the same. I would be 50/50 on wether the styling should be referred to as dated, or unique? You don't mistake one for anything else, even at a distance, especially at speed! :D I've seen many of them in the last 10 years and am aware of the sometimes inconsistent finish work. My '32 is one of the best I ever saw come out of there, they did a very nice job on my boat (I ordered it) no goofy color combos, all done tastefully as I requested and have had zero build or finish work issues. That's saying alot as I'm a pretty fussy guy. I've been happy with the performance and finish I got for the $. I thought that bit about the backwards Formula catalog was pretty funny, I hope dockrocker caught that. :D

Rippem,check your Pm's

Oh yeah, I caught it ;)

It's going to be single digits again here in Michigan and I'm going on 18 months of boatlessness... this is not a combination that encourages rational thought around boat show time. :D

18 months of boatlessness ? :crazy: How much Paxil are you goin' through? :eek: If I wasn't making boat payments in January, I'd prolly do some foolish, fleeting, short term gratification, no lasting value stunt ...like a vacation to some tropical island paradise where it isn't -20 like it is here right now. :rolleyes: . Naaa.... I'd be going up to the drive thru looking to make a boat payment every month with no existing boatloan, wishing the teller would just play along and mime processing my payment......just for a fix. :D

Ok, just had to check this “rational thought” stuff with my buddy Webster.

Rational:
“1 a: having reason or understanding.” No problem, I fully understand the meaning of a boat payment.
“1 b: relating to, based on, or agreeable to reason: REASONABLE.” Ask Mrs. Toys, I am being reasonable i.e. I’m taking her to the Miami show.
“2: relating to, consisting of, or being one or more rational numbers.” Well, if the bank agrees to it, it must be a rational number - right

Sorry bro, you keep putting them up and I'll keep knocking them down. Only 21 more days to Miami :cool: :cool:

Hey UT

What boat will you be sniffing around at the the boat show. Or should I say which boat is going to be the one that will blow all rational right out the window for you. :D

Unfortunately, the ol' bank account is rapidly shrinking my rationalization. Not a pretty sight, let me assure you. ;)

Sorry Allen, this is a strategic boat show for me. Can't lay all my cards face up as there are many lurkers :eek: :eek: ;) ;)
