Default last day to run the v this year

beautiful weather today with a cold front moving down in 2 days, so we decided to run the boat one last time this year and try out a new christmas camera.







after we got home, had to try out another christmas gift, new cast iron pot. hot wings for the auburn game.



happy new year

Looks like a great day to be out.

I have always liked the silver paint on Mariner outboards.

Good pics Phat. The sailor dude on your Mariner and you almost have the same hat. That cooler has some character, bet it could tell some stories.

reel, it's a 84 with a 94 motor. it had the original black max 150 merc when i bought the boat in 90. i repowered with the mariner in 94. my old motor was 1o years old when i repowered and my "new" motor is 17 years old. might have to start thinking about fresh power. the camera is a panasonic point & shoot. i am an old school slr canon guy and have been very slow to get into the digital age, but i do love the instant gratification of seeing what you shoot.

bradford, that is a split lid gott circa 1984 that i bought for a mako i had. it is the best cooler i have ever had. it was before rubbermaid bought out gott and dropped the quality to compete pricewise with coleman. i have looked for several years for a replacement and they are hard to find. guess i'll have to pony up and get a yeti. i do love the split lid though...

i just noticed how dirty the boat was, but if you'll look, the cleanest thing on it is the seats, i got those from lumberslinger last year...

Hey, Phat...I just saw the Julia Mae's sticker on the cooler...Carrabelle??..no wonder yer keepin the cooler!!...
