" can't wait to see you get started on the next one. "

Is it a secret MarkS ?
Or you haven't found it yet ...

One step closer!  Clean, clear title rec'd., now just have to schedule the trip to pick it up (between dialysis sessions).   ;D

Nothing spectacular, just a little "retro cruiser".  I never really got over the seller's remorse when I sold the V-178......

Special thanks to Brandon and Amber for snagging that bow hatch door for me, I do appreciate it!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!  Yep it's a 71, transom and stringers inspected and said to be sound but needs a floor (old one already out).  Seats (lounge) are gone I believe, but the rest of the boat is there.  My first thoughts were of a 115 Gregg, but we'll see what turns up.   ;)

Step one complete, the GT went to her new home yesterday.   :'(

On a good note, I took a partial trade on a nice Spectrum (by Fisher) Dominator 17 with a sweet '99 Mariner (Merc) 50 Four Stroke.  Just needs a little clean up and I'll be fishing in style!  I've been wanting a nice fishing rig for quite some time, and now have the funds to go pickup the V-166 in Virginia Beach!

(The "One Boat Rule" was dismissed when somebody backed my truck into a dumpster Saturday!)   ;D ;D ;D
Replacement tail light(s) ordered this morning.  Rock Auto beat everybody's price, even including shipping!

Fishing rig looks great. The four stroke will be quiet and economical.

What ever it take's Mark !
LOL ...

I've been looking for a (cheap) Glastron bass boat for Ben (OverflowinCheese) have you thought about going that route ?
Fishin'/Glastron ... best of both worlds ...

Must have been sad to see the GT roll down the street ...
Will we be getting a new member ?
