Was out on Grand Traverse Bay, Northern Michigan Sunday for a water test in a soon to be mine 38 PQ. Not a ripple on the water, 30' deep and you could see bottom as if it were 5' deep. 65 degrees on land about 40 degrees out on the water. Very deceiving! Glad I had a heavy jacket. I felt great to be back on the water so soon this year. Can't wait for this summer!

What's up Wrink & Dyno--
Sweet day, but definately pushing the season! Had to get the test run out or the way so I could finalize the deal. It will be sitting in the garage until the lakes warm up a bit. Felt awesome to be back out on the water though!!

Went to school at Old Mission on the penninsula as a kid. Great memories. You live in an incredibly beautiful area of the country(in the summer anyways). Good luck with the new boat. Ed
