I got there around 10:30 and man I am glad I did. I launched allmost immediately. When I left, there must have been ? 30 boats waiting to launch because the lake was full (80 boats). Marc was one of the people waiting to launch.

Maybe I can roll down next weekend to give you a hand....the trip is just too long to make on a weekday.

Let me know which day works for you.

Sorry I wasnt able to make it down there. As you know, I had to make an emergency out of town trip this weekend. Glad to see you got it running good. Cant wait to see it at the Avi!

as soon as you think its finished , you'll look at it and say "Maybe a little chrome bracket here ." "Maybe some bezels ." You know , I can get some headers cheap on e-bay." Next thing you know , you'll be blinging the fuk out of it . Unless you use it till the rogers is floating then that would be the shit .

When the High Life's list is checked off, it's getting sold. <that's a period BTW. Most of the $ will go to mortgage, the rest to the Rogers engine.

Count on it.

It will go up for sale at the AVI.

It's a great boat that has a lot to offer a responsible soon-to-be new owner.
