"MRagu" challenges "at 100 Plus"

[SnakeBit]

Just a few questions, what year was the 20' Sutphen, and do you have any pics? you went from 1990 to 2006 with no boating? how could that be? And you seem to have some overlaping between wife #1 leaving in 1981, and wife #2 begining in 1976 and going untill 1990, Ahhhhh that is the problem, #1 got mad about #2, I see now,, we are allowed to have more then one boat, car, house etc. at the same time,, but not more then one wife!!!! The rules are flawed.

At100plus,,,,, how are you Mike?????

We had two boats The Sutphen and the Donzi The Donzi Spitfire was was a 1975 and the Sutphen I believe was a 1978 I have plenty of old pic's I just do not know how to transfer them My 18' Donzi was black and White!!!
I spent my years not boating paying 36,000.00 a year in taxes living on Chicken Valley road in Old Brookville Long Island!!! That was from 1988 to 1999 and then moved to Bal Harbor and continued to get raped by taxes and maintence!! Now only Fla rapes me - I have the place rented now (thank god) it barley pays the cost, I am at my Dad's place now down the block helping him find a center console!!!!

Mike
the ProMax still runs perfect,only thing i have touched is the gearcase,spray welded and polished the driveshaft and added the Wayne Taylor 4-seal holder to keep the water out.

Three things
1- I failed!!!
2- I would have never made it as a Romney relative - now you know why I am a ? guy!! To be determined
3- By the way anything but Obama - To think I was actually willing to listen at one time - Thank God I did!

Phillip, doin great, keeping very very busy though. I think I'm on my 10 years of not boating right now, and I want to avoid having a list of wives as long as my list of boats.

Anthony call me tonight after Daytona. I'm going furniture shopping today to make wife happy.

I wish I still had it. I got it from Dan Ust in Matawan who got it through Proroc from a guy in Tom's River I can't think of his name right now. Vinny or Victor? It was originally owned and drag raced by John Dillon and it was featured in Hot Boat. It was also in the Rapid Craft brochure. Great boat wish life hadn't gotten in the way of me keeping it. It was in great condition too. Everything was original.
