I'm not going to make it up there this year, our son and daughter-in-law will be visiting from Astoria Or.

I like that Scimitar intro,  I've not seen that before, I'd like to slide those pic's over to my history page
http://www.olered.com/ I haven't up-dated that page in years, and I need too.

Couple pic's on the lake a few days ago.

It Is more blue than green.  The original owner of this boat said he bought it directly from Art carlson, a special order, never seen a dealership,  I asked Art about that, custom color ?  he said he never sold a boat, was against policy for the dealers, but he said he did have several custom color orders, who knows ?  but even though I been calling this one an emerald mist, it isn't. When I peeled off that old plastacoat, and sanded the gel coat, I never found any green flake. There was some damage on the hull under the rub rail on the right rear hip, about as big as a karate chop, had bondo in it, the flake I bought, Ocean Aqua, is a perfect match to the original color, and it is beautiful, Barb will probably cosign that.

Yes it is absolutely gorgeous.  In the sun, the sparkle will hurt your eyes without shades on.
