Sure ain't gonna move it

Lookin' good

Reel, that baby looks great! Pretty work!

Beautiful area.. Kate looks like she's in her enviornment for sure. Grats on another fine trip!!! :clap:

In that last pic that motor looks HUGE!

She sure is sittin' nice and purty in those pics- LOOKS GREAT!!

I spotted a barnacle on the bottom .... better attend to that.:clap:

btw shes looking good :love:

2 Thumbs UP for HUGE MOTOR picture.. Kate is in heaven combing the beach.. Looks like a great time. That V might have a huge lookin motor but she is floating reel high on the water according to the last pic. :sun:

Well you'll have to share some of your expertise...not wanting to F-up the beautiful bottom on this hull removing a barnacle incorrectly...can you describe the Slinger Method for Proper Barnacle Removal...you know...how ya get all of 'em off Bump-Kens!!...LOL!!...:clap:

Rob...hadn't noticed, but yer right...but it's funny, this motor's not nearly as big as that pic makes it look...hey, when I get elected to Congress and start sending out pics of my private parts like they do, I'll have to remember that angle...:sun:

:clap::clap:

looking good Ozzie. That water looks so clear. How warm was it? Seeing that makes me want to get my boat in the water. Maybe next week, we are almost settled in.

I was wondering yesterday how the moving in was going...glad yer seein' some daylight up there!!...:clap:

Water temp was in mid 60s at Shallotte...should get the critters stirring soon...:sun:

Very cool.

We are ago 5 weeks ahead of schedule here on the coast. Water was 76* last saturday at Dauphin Island.

Where did you relocate to Pete? Anywhere up near Rob and I? And what about your towing/salvage job?
