You Did A Stunning Job On That Boat

Lake rat Skater 01-09-2013 10:49 AM

Boat looks great, I bet your really excited for some warmer weather. I noticed your old spectre was for sale on boat trader the other day, that was a great looking boat as well.

davidmercury 01-15-2013 09:57 AM

Thanks Guys
Yes that was my Spectre 30 listed. Seeing that boat brings back alot of great memories. I met my future super wife in that boat! She encouraged me to buy the 36 Skater

You area lucky guy if she "encouraged" you to buy a bigger Skater!

I think that encouragement is the difference between a future wife and a wife:lolhit:

I know, talking about hitting the lottery! :D
