Tank you are being kind when you refer to how Cecil maintained the boat. I can't find the real picture when I gave Philly the deposit and bought it for $85,000. Then to top it all off I told her "honey don't worry I know boats and for 55 tops I have it all back together and beautiful" Only missed by about double!!!!
The first Key West run outside Bahia Honda she understood though and I was right next to Tanner in Tonto and Tatonka in the bumpy. Way different that the old 38 Fountain she loved. She even likes the security of her new mini sunpad when I don't have the full one snapped on.
My wife is a boater too! I just can't give her more than 2 1/2 bushwackers (she is part Cherokee indian and that stuff about the indians selling Manhattan for beads and liquor is too true) Shiny stuff gets her too.
