They might throw an evil look or two to another girl, then go to the bathroom to ‘readjust’. Then the other girl might do the same thing. In the end they always kiss and make up.:mrgreen:

Even the Bosslady and I stopped by to say hi to SB and I don't post much. I had to explain that I'm the fat guy sitting on the "can." (See avatar).

So you "regulars" could be in deep kimchi if you don't stop by as well.

Y'all may want to checkout the Island Hopper Fun Boats as you go into the hall. Here's a link to their web site - http://www.islandhopperfunboats.com/

Trolling motor, water cannon, battery charger plug-in, navigation lights(!), etc. The one at the show also had a stereo, MP3 plug-in and USB port. Granted $3,000 is a bit steep, but it could be had cheaper without the music generators.

Since it hold 1,500 pounds, . . .nevermind.

To show you how stupid I am, I purposely brought my camera to take pics, as we are going get a new boat and wanted my own shots. As we were leaving, the Bosslady asked so why didn't take any photos? Doh!

Boat show is small....6 of 9 regulars there....No Raymonds so that means no Fountoons.....


Glencove has a 38 fastech with 496's, Kellys Port has a 40 outlaw with 525's, a 35 with notched transom and 496's (my favorite color red)


Village brought a 37 cruiser.

Marine Max has several cruisers....including a fly bridge you can see the entire show from the top of.

Regal (k port) with the biggest boat at the show 44 and a 40....My favorite cruiser here....


There is a big ol' Rinker...may have been a 34.


MWBP booth had more peeps than the boat dealers inside.....The banner is the neatest thing I have ever seen....


I would put my pics on here but no one can tell me how to resize them Vista on my laptop......

Supposedly, Randy Kent worked on a new 260 Roadster Spectre that was going to be at the OP show. Anybody have any pics of it? Quite a different boat from Speed Racer and Monopoly, but the claim is that it is a bunch of boat for $50k.

Have fun at at the party tonight and be careful!

01-24-2009, 03:55 PM
well I hope everyone had fun at the hotel party last night and no one has to many little men inside their heads with a big hammer. lol the thing i enjoyed most about the show was playing with the volvo penta ips(i think?) computer software with the joy stick. that was pretty interesting. Also having the display there was pretty cool.
now that I am at the lake and its cold. just opened my first beer and thinking about going out on the boat. haven't seen one out all day. a boat ride just sounds bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
everyone have fun at Fuel tonight. that sounds like fun. I'm having a great time hanging out with my brother..........he is sleeping on the floor(bum) lol
time for another beer......

Talked to T-38 and LakeRat, both were behaving themselves, but the night is still young. Thanks again to one of the regulars at Fuel that won a raffle and gave me his winnings; shirts,vinyl cleaner etc[smilie=trink39] .
