my son in law donates all the material to his fabricator who welds them
up and then they’re offered for charity auction for the poker runs (either Powell challenge or supercatfestnwest). Buddy Brian with the blue and white 50 MTI won both past 2 years. Single chair 25k. Double chair 50k. 😳😬 and then he never pics them up. This their sitting in my son in laws shop lol.

Theyre actually surprisingly comfortable and have a lot of cool details like the single has a cup holder built in and right behind it you can see the table with cleavers prop base and support for top and prop shaft stand. CNC tabs and stuff. They’re very cool.

Engines are just about done, went way overboard, waiting on the transmissions but I have not been in a hurry. Had a slight delay my wife was sick for over two months, so the boat had to wait. Hopefully I will get back on it soon. All is good now, I heard your wife was also a little under the weather, hope she is doing good.

no rush! Take your time and when it’s done it’ll be right. Sorry to hear about your wife but glad to hear she’s feeling better and yeah, my wife is fighting a heart issue. Trying to get it worked out and resolved. Hopefully we’ll see you guys next year out there!!

Give her our best, hopefully they will get things straightened out. Be great to see everyone next year.

Picked up a whaler today to take the boys fishing and do some hoop netting etc. son in law is bringing the cigarette out here from Arizona in a couple weeks and he’ll drag whaler back to slap a 90 merc on it. Be a fun little island runner and harbor cruiser. Guy that sold it was restoring it with his dad but dad died and he just doesn’t have the time to finish. New paint, new bottom paint, new gauges, new merc throttles, new garmin, fresh awlgrip floor, fresh teak, new interior, new cover, etc etc. just needs to be rigged and buttoned up.

17' Montauk? I had one of those many years ago. That thing was fun, and suprisingly rode decent. Had a 70 on the back which i swapped out for an 80. Drove it like a madman in the rough....lol. Had that thing completely out of the water a few times, but it always held together well.

right on!!

been looking for one for a while now. Just waiting for the right one to come along. It’ll be a fun little island runner. Blue fin have been running off the back side of Santa Cruz here. About 30-40 miles out. I always say nothing rides like a whaler. Fun boats.

Can we go fishing when I come out next?

Maybe I'll just charter your son, he can make some side cash $$$.
