Default Long lost boater 10x- FOUND!!!

When I was eating some Cherrios for breakfast the other day, I was looking at my milk carton and it had a picture of a little Italian guy with fluffy hair named Frank Holas (10X). It read that he has been MIOSO - Missing in OSO.

On Tuesday when I delivered my boat to RPM (Riss Performance Marine), I discovered the lost boater hiding behind a pair of his brand new engines.

Frank,
The engines look great! I bet they would look even better in the boat.

I have taken many pics during the assembly of the engines, but, unfortunatly I don't know how to load them into the puter. And I don't have the time to read the booklet that explaines how. I have been leaving the house at 7 am, and coming home around 11 pm, EVERYDAY, even the weekends.

There were alot of boats to get finished first, many people waited to the last minute to decide what they wanted done for this summer. That's another reason why mine is running about a month behind.

We got both engines installed yesterday, now just some minor stuff and going through the drives and installing them too. If nothing else goes wrong, the boat should be running over the weekend.

Now, back to work, cause I know that the Mark Smith is real eager to see his engines in his boat too.
BTW...... the new Chi-Town Hustler is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Any pics that have been posted here of it, don't even begin to show how fantastic that boat really looks. It's just plain SHARP!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see it in the water. But is Mark's not there when we go to sea trial it, I will be the first one to drive it.

It`s a good thing you found him when you did before he had a chance to wander out into the cornfield and get lost....It happens..
