Glad to see you got it back. I had planned on coming to check it out when you had it for sale. We go to NC every year for Thanksgiving but if I remember right it sold a few weeks before we came that year. I'm on my 4th one now and each one has ended up costing more than the last. Good luck with it.

Joe Harrell is a good man. Bought an Allison R-14 from him a few years back and he was very easy to work with!

Hey Gary, I'm doing just fine now after the "little mishap". The motor is running better than ever and all the thanks for that goes clearly to Lee. I sort of wish Matt and I had bought your V21 Triad when I got the motor. Matt just sold his boat, but had he bought yours back 4 years ago, I think he would still have it.

Dang it Gary if you hadn't called me twice a year for the last four years trying to buy it back it would still be in Tennessee! Made me feel like I was holding a hostage or something! Seriously, enjoy it - its a great boat!
so you sold it back to me so I would quit calling you, haha.. soo the moral of this story don't ever give up....thanks Joe for being a man of your word not much of that left these days

There is a rumor that the Triad I used to own left Canada and ended up back in SC. Never did hear where it landed, but I wouldn’t mind if it followed me home.
If you haven’t seen this video of it and a few other running in Canada, it’s worthy.

Foxtrot, I have your old boat now. It is in SC, I'm in Aiken but it stays at my place at Lake Murray. It has a 225 Promax back on it. The other main difference is I had the trailer powdercoated black. Wally went over everything and fixed a few cosmetic issues and put in the gauges that came out of his last personal V21. Put all the Mercury rigging back in it, buffed the whole boat and it looks like new. Brian Harden hung the motor and finished the rigging. I only put it in a couple of times last year, maybe this year I'll get to use it a little more. Lake Murray is really rough on the weekends, so I definitely have to pick my times to run it.
