Franc, as you know. we lived on the lake from '81-99.... I miss it, but don't miss the repairs. Docks and boat lifts, although the inboards were like working on the cars,,,no big deal. I wish I had kept my Malibu....it was a $25k boat when new, and they have since doubled in price, so we will never be there again. I have found some older ski nautigues I may spring for some day. But I have one more big mod for the blue coupe to do, before I am done...so the boat will have to wait. Enjoy my friend. You deserve the fun of boating in the retirement years. Besides, we need a few conservatives to upset the daily lives of liberals in the east...later
