The boating is a lot better on the west coast of Florida. Tell him to build something over here.

No. I wish Nancy had come, it was a perfect day for her to get to know the Skater.
She actually has not been in the last 4-5 of my boats. It was back on 2001 in the OuterLimits, at the NJPPC Sep 2001 fun run to Atlantic City, when she was last boating with me.
I am hoping to get her to come on the charity run on June 28 that Tom is setting up. She knows Cape Harbor, we were very serious about a house there, but once we found this place, it could not compete.
Congrats on your new boat, from the pics Jay and others have taken, it looks awesome. I love the 'glass cockpit' dash. I know you had said about 600 miles per tank, but what is the tanks capacity?
My Skater can actually go about 420 miles on a tank. I know that seem crazy, I do not hold all that much fuel, but a 2.4mpg, it adds up.
