I laughed as tons of folks passed it and raved about how great it was. One thing for sure - nobody does eye candy like Cig does. And their hatch hinges were trick.
I didn't look at the baja, but as Wally said the black thunder looked nice.
Wally - how did the card game go after we dropped you off? And you didn't mention the fine pizza YOU TREATED us all to.
Jeff got into the big handle after we got home. And we cooked another pizza for the girls.

Re: End of Season Boating BS Session
I came back from down 50 to finish up 70, so all in all it was a pretty cheap day even with the dinner.
Thank god we did not have any hard stuff at cards, I was primed to tackle the captain, I would have been FUBAR for sure. As it was, I got home at 339 AM only to get up and watch a weak ass defensive effort...
Who would have thought the Bears would out score the colts and still lose?

. I did look at the Donzi and thought WOW this boat was brought here and they did not even clean it up all that well. I thought it was funny that it had 525's in it and the tell tell speedo was showing 114 mph 
The 32 SS looked real good.
I have always liked the Black Thunders and that one looked real good.
. I have figured out that most sales people dont have a clue what they are doing, and I'm in sales.
Tim sorry I did not run into you up there hope everything is going well.
John thanks for the directions the pizza was excellant
All in all it was a fun day to spend looking at fiberglass
Rich.

Re: End of Season Boating BS Session
Poly called today. Boat and jet ski lifts go in tomorrow.
Rich - what are you doing with your boat this weekend?
I had them put an 8x7 work platform off the back of the lift. If nothing else I will go down this weekend and stand on it and have a cold one.

Probably the most impressive performance boat at the show,if you work for a living(legally).

I'll have to agree with everyone else on the Cig, you could wash your clothes on the side of it. A boat with a price tag close to half a million should be damn near perfect, and that one was a long way from it.
I looked at the Bajas, I saw just about what I expected. The 42' beakboat was a sharp boat, I think Rich was interested in that one, if he could get the 4' Fonz to autograph it for him!
