Good question. I contributed $300.00 and would like to know that it made it's way to the charity. Bob

That is cause they are eating the peanut butter and jam sandwiches they brought from home instead of supporting the Marina's restaurant. :rolleyes:

Very nice, Randy. Love it. :)

350 hrs. See post # 20. I probably average about 250 hrs a year total with the three boats. I think the key to not getting tired of it is to find some new waters to boat in and do some things to keep it interesting. Boating the same waters over and over again may be why some guys eventually get...

Trip Yanmar 480's. Arneson drives. Yanmar's turn 3450 RPM. Top speed 76 MPH. Can cruise 70 all day long. Lets me still do poker runs and long range cruising. 400 gal tank = 400 mile range. :)

350 hrs now which is probably only 10 % of its life or less. Boat runs as strong as new. If I still had my gas NT I would have had to do another re build or two by now. My fuel consumption is 100% better with 1 MPG instead of .5 MPG with my gas boat. I'm loving the diesel. It is clean and...

Happy, happy birthday, GL and all the best to you.:bday2::bday2: Bob

Thanks for asking, Dave. She is turning into a remarkable young woman. As you know she lost most of her family in that accident. She has found some family in Germany. She is studying German while working part time and is planning on going to Germany this summer to meet them. We are continuing...

First of all Alec thank you for your and Serious Offshore's support for our event yesterday. This will make for a very interesting thread and give the various Clubs around North America and even the world an oportunity to tell us what they support or do in their communities. Here is FMO's...

Great set of shots Frank and welcome to Serious Offshore. Nice to see you on the run yesterday and for our short visit.

Here is the story behind Jay's pic of me being presented with the Ireland book: FMO club members Bill and Lori Lemanske, MI were aware of my next adventure to enter a race in June with Team PREDATOR around the country of Ireland. They purchased and presented to me today a beautiful coffee table...

What a fantastic day. Great turnout of 28 boats big and small. Everyone I'm sure had a blast cept the couple of boats that broke, maybe. Lots of sun, great water conditions. Nice mix of running the Gulf and ICW. Jeff, Jay and others captured tons of pics that I cannot wait to see. The Lighthouse...

A special thank you to the Lemanske family FMO club members Bill and Lori Lemanske, MI were aware of my plans to enter a race in June with Team PREDATOR around the country of Ireland. They purchased and presented to me today a beautiful coffee table / picture book about the Islands of Ireland...

Yes you are right, Alec. Great people for sure. My boat has been so trouble free it is unbelievable. This morning when I was about to launch at 11:30 AM they found that there was a problem with my starboard throttle. It would not respond ( electronic ) and bring the RPM's up. They worked on...
