Your first Boat

Very nice John, that wasn't so hard was it.
That 78 was really nice, and of course the 98 is on of my personal favorites, having owned one.

You can post more than 1 pic at a time. We need to know how your posting. Are your pics on photobucket? Or, are you posting from disk or harddrive? BKH

Brian; They are on a disk I made tonite at wallyworld and I am "uploading" from that using photobucket.

Brian: How do I get 'em the correct size?

Me and mrs jbear in the '98 the first year we had it in Tennessee. Still the best boat I ever owned.

Mrs jbear fixin' to throw me the rope. My friend Mark Lastovka behind the wheel and we have a boat load of kids, as always.

I resized to "website" but it looks like it came out to small. Wow was this a chore. Took me all night. I know some of you young guys must be laughin' out loud at the jbear.

Thanks to Randy in Ohio. I would'a never figured this out without your "picture" instructions. was hard enough as it was.

Heath; We have a place on Norris at Hickory Star. It is near Maynardville.

Awesome pics jbear, keep em coming

Here we go again; this is our '03 206 at Norris.

I might get the hang of this yet.

Think I've got how to do multiples, just got to get the size right.

Good stuff JBear. I'm going to have to dig up a photo of my 98. Going to look at a project boat tomorrow. Perhaps I'll have another photo to post. BKH

John, besides a sh*t load of boats you gotta full head of hair..eric

Jbear, great photos! I've heard of Norris lake...what major city are you close to? Knoxville? I'm looking for a lake house in TN, NC or Alabama -anything in your area for sale that you know of???

Thanks guys for all the props.

I still have alot of hair but not all the boats.

When I hit the rock wall goin' the wrong way at the Bay, it blew a BIG hole in the pa$$enger side and popped off the top on the '81. Worse part of it all was that it was the weekend before mrs jbear graduated from college. She had to cross the stage on 1 crutch due to a very bad cut she recieved when she was almost thrown from the boat. The boat was totaled. Did not sink tho. Made it back to our dock to drop off Patti and then drove the boat to the other side of the Bay to pull her. Very sad day.

Norris Lake is a little North of Knoxville. Not much in our area but on the other side of the lake alot of building is going on. Do a search for Norris Shores on Goggle and that should get you some links. Heath, you are in Central Florida aren't ya?

Happy New Year to all my C/CfAN buddies. Hope you all have a safe, prosperous, and Blessed 2007! I know I'm gonna have a great year, right Lake!

I painted everything above the rub rail with Interlux Perfection, a two part urethane that is made to go on with a roller and brush. It needs some more wet sanding and buffing but looks pretty good for a rookie. The Pics of the boat in my signature are as I bought the boat.
