    Milton missed Suwannee, came straight at Lakeland more or less. Lots of generator shuffling. No insurance available for river house. Nobody is giving me any hassle over the 50% rule. In fact I don’t have a permit, not necessary according to the building inspector. Ain’t that a breath of...

    Helene

    Yessir, I can’t believe that y’all were thinking about me. I have not felt so good in some time. That warms me heart.❤️ So I know it’s late in coming but yeah we took a surge from Helena. Total of about 9 and a half feet from mean high tide. Suwannee, will never be the same. All my pics...

    T-top/floor redo

    I hit the t-top ahile pulling it with the Tahoe. Idle only but it stopped the rig and truck in its tracks.. It ripped the floor and tweaked the top. I have managed to make the repairs. Upon close investigation, the floor is made from Coosa and faired well. I did that during the rebuild...

    My apology !

    I am here now to apologize to my Wellcraft friends that I abandoned last August. You last visited: 08-25-2016 Unreal how time flies by.. In the minus column we have: IIRC you guys knew I was sick and had lost a pile of weight. Tons have happened since then and I am no longer...

    Florida keys 2016

    Florida keys 2016

    Fishing report--Islamorada - One week ain't enough gentleman. We as a family, my wife and daughter spent several days beating around on the Gulf side, snorkeling and Tarpon fishing bridges as the wind was blowing 15 to 20kts. I had one nice Tarpon blow up on a mullet at Whale Harbor Channel...

    Took a ride yesterday

    Youve been drinking the Classic Seacraft Coolaid. Not to knock them. The ride is incredible for the length. BUT They do not have near the room of the V-20. While the picture isn't absolutely conclusive, trust me..

    Max horsepower

    To finish Ferm's thought I use a 3 blade Mirage copy made by Quicksilver without the PVS (vent holes) 21 Pitch. Not the fastest but great all around performance. Big round eared blades with some cup on the trailing edge for extra bite. Good bow lift, good cruise, both speed and mileage wise. I...

    Anyone Do Remote Control

    Dare I say, TOYS? R/C Boats? Cars? Trucks? Helicopters, quads, drones, what do you guys got? Since the beginning of the year I've been into quadcopters, now airplanes. I needed a distraction from the BS and the boat wasn't the answer I was looking for.. I've built a 1/10th scale YETI...

    Restoration Stopped : (

    Not to be the wet blanket here. I have one sitting in the pasture that I thought I was doing a solid by not allowing it to go to the landfill. That thought alone is repulsive to me. So it sits as a planter for the time being. Only a small oak I believe. Someone might decide to do something...

    Questions about I/o to outboard conversion

    IDk what to tell you Bradford, if it is something I have done, I would not be surprised, it is absolutely dumb luck on my behalf.:embarsed: Bret and his dad are good people. Nice to know both of you. No the motor did not make smoke yet but I agree, It looks good on there. Vic
