Yep. Saw the pump myself. Gas 9c ; tax 4c Total 13 cents. Couldn't seem to find the attendant tho ! LOL

Funny thing, I almost bought the old Gun and Rod club in Ft. Myers and was going to make it into a class act for us guys. It's right next to the Ft. Myers Intl. Airport. It was too much of a swamp and the guys wanted 4 times what it was worth.

Thanks Mark. I am going to go down to the Rod and Gun Club to see them next week before I go much further in putting this run together. Dockage will be the problem. I'm told that you can rent space on the wall but they will not protect it for you. Someone can just come along and take it. We may have to send someone down there early with a shotgun to hold our space.

We will get you on one of the boats soon, I hope.

Let me know if you are coming.

Bob,

just got back to this thread today, if the boat is running, I will be there. Ya dont know me very well, and all you have heard is......when the boat is running

, but trust me, I am a diehard, and once its good to go, ya wont be able to get rid of me, I'll be on all the runs

. I am taking it to the experts this week, I would rather have a stock motor that runs, than one that I tweaked, and blows up every third time out.
