I say good for Hollywood and Quinner. I didn't realize until now that Barefooting has become classified as an alternative lifestyle.
Ok, here's a couple of the most commonly asked question from our overseas CCFans: 34. I'm from Europe. I currently tow my 4000 Kg boat with a 1500Kg Mini Cooper. Anyone using this setup in the States. 35. I've just spotted a rare find here in England. It is a lovely 1977 Ski Nautique. It appears it will need some gel coat repair, and I must admit the graphics and interior are total rubbish. It has been operated strictly in saltwater, but it does appear the old girl has at least a year or two in her before a tear down shall be necessary. Does $50,000 U.S. seem a jammy price to you blokes? 36. G'day Mates. Crikey, I've just realized that the toilet boils downunder spin the opposite direction than those used by you yanks. Do you reckon this explains why our boats back up to the right down here? BKH |

Another overseas question:
37: Would it be expensive to bring my boat to Green Lake...? 38: Does 62Wood still tell his wife he can try to have them all? Kristof |

I have no idea how I missed this thread?? I guess I thought it was a serious "common" question thread! Now that my stomach muscles are sore from all the great responces, the answer to #40 is absolutely & honestly none! My wife even stands at the end of our dock and yells at them! Must be that tint of red hair she has.

All I remember is he was a dock hand at a marina in I believe Texas. He even linked us to the marinas web site. I was always amazed after finding out how old he was that he had such a difficult time with the English language. |

45. Why does an engine run so much stronger, preform better, accelerate faster, sound meaner, etc. just because the distributor is in the back?

So here's a few of the commonly asked questions from the spouses and significant others:
46. I've been skiing for 24 years, and have never missed a summer. But now that our first child is on the way, my wife is saying I need to sell the boat because we won't be using it for a few years - what do you think? 47. I'm new here. I'm wondering if it's just my husband, or did any of you try to teach your wives to drive a boat while yelling at her from the end of the rope? 48. I'm a diehard slalom skier, but now that we have our second child, my wife is insisting that we get a larger boat. She really likes the new Super Duper Air 290. Do you think this will satisfy my slalom cravings while providing the room our family needs? 49. I'm planning to get my new girlfriend into boating. Which do you think I should teach her first, back the trailer into the water, or drive the boat onto the trailer? 50. Is it true what they say - Perfect Pass, so simple even a fiance could use it.

(Thats a common response I get when people ask me what kind of boat mine is.)

53. If I'd prefer to wire my boat instead of gettin' with my woman when she is all dolled up and purring like a cat in heat, would y'all respect me in the morning?

Okay... These aren't common questions, but common knowledge: CC's are the best, CC's are fast, CC's are stable,... But crossing in one day Steve...?? But thanks for the 20 on propane...
So, next common questions 58: Who else will pinch in...? 59: Can I have some extra sized CCfan stickers for publicity purposes? (would look good in the Guiness Book of Records) 60: Can anyone access the planning of a propane freighter that will make the crossing around July 2009? (I might need to follow behind that one  )
61: How many hours would the engine clock (now 1667) show when arriving on US shores? 62: Will I be able to snatch the "Blue Riband" from the Danish "Cat-Link V" who made the crossing at 41,3 knots...???
(63: Am I out of my freakin' mind to ask questions like this?? ...Bet I know the answer to this one  )
