    At least I found a good use for the front porch that I aint got time to just sit there anyway! Always out back in the shop. Have another 10 footer "Olympian" dingy (like little Boston Whaler) that I got free from another here. Had a leak in the keel from dragging it up on rocky beaches. FG'ed it, bottom paint so can sit summer in the water slip. Had a trailer that needed some work. Flipped upright now and gotta start doing the topside, rig, etc. On the Mini, keeping a eye out for cable steer, throttle, and a "comfy chair". But both on hold as summer, big boat in the slip, Flatbottom in next. Gotta have "spare boats" right?

    Yep, as know here ya coming from. AND? If ya lucky enough to "get started" 60 years ago? I started out a kid with mini bikes, go karts, and my "first boat" (6 foot) from my Gearhead dad and same older bro. "Best damn" hand me downs a kid could EVER WANT! But Gary? THINK the "progression" boats since the 50's! DAMN! Never in my wildest dreams would think "LOTO Shoot out" doing damn near or over 200 MPH? Gotta love the "young bucks with bucks" to pull THAT chit off!

    But kinda funny me as thinking it now? As said young? HA! What do I still own? Damn Gokart, Mini's, and 8 foot boats? Plus the bigger fast chit and HD bikes which somehow got REAL heavy?..so that called getting older the ""progression life". Ya start out naked, then diapers, then soon..."is this the throttle dad"? Rest ya damn well know. So I'm "back to childhood" and damn sure don't need a "Diaper" yet as all I need is a "tree or bush" Gotta chitload pix old in the house me, and post later. Sorry if hijacking the thread..as if outta line? Let me know. And again, pretty sure thats a "Sea Flea".
