![]() ![]() Here are some pictures. What a great time! These are at Silver Glen Springs, Ocala National Forest. Beautiful day! Look at that water. First time for the "Smith Family". We had a great time, and was well worth all the "challenges" faced to get there. Thanks to all! I look forward to next year, and possibly, "Music City"?? June? My girls are all "Phsyched up"!! |

Pete, You know how "those guys" with the high dollar woodies can be... nose in the air... dont have time for plywood or tupperware boats, etc. Heck, this Alan guy probably has a big mansion on a private lake with butlers and maids. I'm pretty sure he has never laid so much as a wrench on his boat.... you know.. when they have that status they can afford to pay someone to do everything that needs to be done for you. He wouldnt want to get any dirt under his manicured nails! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I informed all about your troubles hope to see you tmro. Got to put some names to faces, eat great food, and listen to a very interesting talk from Ralph Meloon. Lots of great people having a great time. Good luck with the impeller. |

Man, All excited about meeting everyone at Hontoon Island, get the boat ready, cooler full, get the girls all set and excited, up at 4AM, run and finish a charity race in pr (personal record) time and head up to the boat ramp just south of Hontoon, launch, and OVERHEAT!! Bad impeller, no spare. Scheduled for change in June. Back to the barn for repairs. I am so dissapointed. Girls want to head up tomorrow EARLY. Hopefully still have the chance to meet some.

Yeah the Riva's are beautiful. Believe that CC is an Atom so it's not Boatdr's, I was curious because I know he had plans to go to Dora on Thursday. I'm not a big fan of plywood boats but that one caught my eye. |

Alan, that Riva must have got me dizzy. Scrolled right past the "Finned Correct Craft" without catching it. Sorry about that.

Alan, I would LOVE to have one of those Riva Aquaramas. Of course if I had that kind of cash... oh well!
BTW those Aristrocraft boats are built at Billy Turner's place about five miles from where I live. Billy's wife Gail was past president of ACBS International. Grew up with gail as a kid. And keep in touch with her and Billy through my best freind John, Gail's cousin. |

Almost there. Just pulled into Winn Dixie in Ocala to get provisions. While Nanc is gettin the goods I checked on the boat and just realized that my back seat canopy cover pulled the snap screws from the fiberglass and as it was flappin in the wind for the past several hours at 75 mph the spike end of the screws dug into my gell coat. Damn it to hell. The boat has made it 35 years with out a scratch and I just d*cked it up!
Anyone know who can match slightly yellowed white top deck in a gel coat repair? Oh well. I'll get over it. |
