Yeah Wisconsin is a little off this time. But thanks.

Rich, I think I found the one you were talking about although it's a little further out of Norman. So far I've found 2 along the route.

There is a great used boat dealer in Shawnee OK.  Lots to see.

The owner had some fun boats , when I was there they were building a batman boat out of an old tri hull. very fun!

I don't remember off hand but it might have been Tim's Marine, Norman OK. It's been over ten years since I bought parts there so I might even have the name wrong.
