Ryan;

Thoughts and prayers from my family to yours. Please don't be a stranger around here. Everybody needs some encouragement from time to time and as you go through thi,s occasionally you will need a distraction. If nothing else let us all help you out with that.

The Kutsch's

Good news this week,his count is way down ,he is taking to the treatment very well and has yet to show any major reaction to the drugs of course he was very strong before this ordeal having been raised outside climbing trees, riding the lake and eating healthy foods.
His mom is super strong too so that makes it much easier to cope with.
I do appreciate everyones support and am sorry I brought this onto the forum.
83ski,I am not interested in profiting from my boat as much as finding someone that can make use of it.The way its looking right now it will be a long time before I can resume that part of our lifes and long term storage is not a option.
Thanks again for the support,
Ryan

Ryan, your family is in our prayers. Hang tough.

That's great news, great to hear that.

Don't be sorry, no reason to! That's the best thing about this forum, it's much more than just boats-talk.

You'll be building another boat one day, I'm already looking forard to read about it. Until then, only one thing matters and that's your family.
All the best, Sander

well i would make plenty of use out of it.....i hope your family is making out ok...keep us updated..

what were you thinking you would ask for it?

Ryan

Cute little boy you've got there. He looks like a tough one, and it sounds like you've raised him the right way. Running around outdoors, climbing trees, skinning knees, and eating well is makes for a strong kid, able to better handle life's difficulties.
i have not read this whole thread, just the last couple of pages. But what I do garner from your posts is that you and your family have the foundation to handle what has been dealt you.
Being in Michigan, I doubt our paths will ever cross (possibly at a future reunion?). But I'd like to see your boat, but more important, I'd like to meet you and your family.
As others have said, you're in our prayers.
Steve
BTW, Don't be sorry for bringing this into the forum. We all love our boats and boating, but we don't live in our boats, we live in our lives.

The only thing that is more impressive than your boat build is your willingness to sacrifice it for your family. I am sure you will find a great new owner for your boat. I wish I was in a place to buy it but unfortunately right now that is not in the cards. I wish there was more I could do to help your family. If you would post your paypal address I would be honored to send a few bucks your way to help out.

Peace
Jon

Hey Ryan,

You can bet your son is in more people's prayers than you realize. Ten years ago my son Chris was diagnosed with a brain tumor and for months afterwords I would bump into people that I didn't even know who told me they had been praying for him. I was very comforting for us at the time and is still very touching.

BTW, that was 10 years ago and Chris is doing fine now, even though that was not the original prognosis from the docs. Keep us posted.

glad to hear the news also....

Ryan,

Glad to hear your son is doing so well. Our thoughts are with your family.

Hope everyone enjoyed there winter holidays.Im still here along with my son and my wife.I also managed to keep our nautique.It has been a wild ride that I couldn't explain with twenty pages of text and if I could it would be hard to beleive.I did however learn more in the last month than the last ten years of my life.
Anyways,I am looking foward to working on the nautique again and will post pics when we get started.
Hope everyone is doing well,
Ryan

Man was I pumped when I read that your son was doing well and that your family has been doing well through this major challenge.

We will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers as cancer is a tricky beast.

Can't wait to see more pictures of the boat too!

Ryan,

Continued thoughts and prayers for your family. I'm glad to hear that there are positive things coming from the struggles you are going through. God works in mysterious ways to help us learn to trust and grow strong. Keep us all posted and hang in there.

Pretty good now,we started footin last year before all this went down and got a few months in.Looking foward to this year.

Wow,that's a blast from the past. A decade to be exact and seems like a lifetime ago for me. For anyone interested my son is doing great other than being grounded for some slackery.
The boat has been a family friend to us for ten years and has given almost no problems. It functions well and still looks very nice after all these years.
