Some Boating Pics...

And I got a new filter and pump ball.

 

And I gotta new fire extinguisher.

 

How fast?

 

It was not that fast, just looked good. That pic actually was snapped when the thing was full throttle and the gate dropped and went full reverse and threw water up. Haha. My old Stevens flat bottom and I got a ticket for 105 in a 5mph... The Ranger was not happy with me but I never confirmed the mph on that one either haha. Now I have a child and this....the company is better now than the drunk "woo-girls" of the past I have to admit. Haha

 

Oh yeah, I also have an old Valco, a '86 Cobalt 18', and I am learning/researching fixing this old plywood boat my grandpa built in 1985/86 I am guessing

 

never thought I'd see a plywood john boat! That's pretty rad!

 

Started out with a 1979 Tracker with a 40 HP Mercury. Bought this one brand new in 2000. Not bad looking for a 22 year old boat.

 

why is that a post

 

That’s my dad’s ship. “Bay of Pigs” he said a couple Jets buzzed them.

 

Must be the USCGC Campbell.

 

And tracked ice burgs in North Atlantic.

 

I’m with him right now and can’t think of anywhere in the world I would rather be.

 

Albert Einstein on his boat.

 

She is running like brand new. Both bait shops were out of eel until tomorrow so I got chicken breast.

 

Thats my safe zone if a storm hits.

 

Fishing was slow today at Elephant Butte Lake in New Mexico. We were celebrating my buddies 49th BDay. He got skunked, but, got a nice buzz from the beer. I caught 3 and gave them to him.

 

55 pounds 48 inches long! My personal best!

 

There’s schools of minnows everywhere.

 

Heavy wind, big waves, and chop coming back. I’m in a creek no wind. Boat performed well.

 

It’s was ten miles out to bouy 56.

 

They “capture the hearts”.

 

Titanic vrs Cruise Ship.

 

Just caulked around the live well/bench and screws. It’s a spot where if any water infiltration it will rot the floor. It’s still solid. I’m contacting Hagerty tomorrow for antique boat/trailer insurance.

 

They told me to f()$& off pretty much I’m only getten five grand for it. I have to get a surveyor to come out for more. Or two different policies.

 

Look how much these “little” boats are?

 

That’s without an aluminum trailor.
