Feel as if I need to add some more pics, maybe old school days with the 232 Captiva. Weather this week is suppose to be below 0 again. This sucks by far. Last picture was taken about 6am at Catawba State Park, we tried to go across to the bay at night but couldn't see 5 foot in front of me and the boat was bouncing and not to mention the Flag was blowing straight out. So I turned around and we stayed the night at the launch. Next morning when I saw no wind I said lets go its dead out right now.

Say what you want about Rinkers but That boat was great, turn key and ran like a champ every time I started it. Only issue I had was a rusted up gimbal bearing when I first bought it. It didn't do the best on Erie slop but it was great around the local lakes. I hated getting rid of it but for our long trips up to the bay it was just getting to small.

I think after looking back on that boat I've made up my mind on what I'm going to get for my next boat. Looking at two this Super Bowl weekend on the east coast then headed to Miami Boat Show for a last minute look at some boats I've never been on, then going to make my decision. Hopefully be out for Early Bird weather permitting.

Great boats for the money. Was friends w/the owners of the big Rinker dealer in Cols for yrs and one of their salesmen always had a new 22 or 23 cuddy w/the biggest motor he could get and they ran great.
I remember his last one had a 502 and it scared the **** out of me in my old Sonic. A great, true cuddy, tons of space, weekender features and his last couple were really sporty looking boats too.
I'd own one in a heart beat.

Cleveland made the national news today due to its weather.

I always wanted to spend a winter on one of the islands up there. I read the book about the woman that escaped the big city and took her teen age daughter to Pelee for the winter. Great read and changed she and her daughter for the better.

My home town of Columbus is supposed to have a high of 1 today
