Welcome aboard John. Now all we have to do is get you a Glastron, and move you West a couple thousand miles. Think about coming out in August for the Red Wing meet.  Red knows how to find us now, and maybe we can find some other old friends in the neighborhood. I'm glad I'm not the only one on the board that has to go 80MPH anymore. (lol) How about a picture of the Custom Craft with the Fat Fifty on it.
