On another note: Accident on the Tickfaw Sunday. Newbie boat owner in 38ft SeaRay is backing into dock. Coming in a bit hot so he decides to put in forward. Pushes up the lever and its the throttle not the shifter. Full blast over an Eliminator and Hustler. Luckily no one was on the boats at the time.

Jeffro, that boat you talked me out of a month ago. Good call, owner has now dropped the price by 10K. I am thinking about it again.

You made me go do my homework on this. I was second guessing but it is Barrie.

From website: http://www.dragonpowerboats.com/

"The idea came to me. I realized there is a higher level of quality to which performance boats can be manufactured. The customer will realize the difference in performance and will actually be able to see the difference in the end product. After all, customer satisfaction is what its all about."

--Craig Barrie, founder of Dragon Powerboats, Inc., Summer 2001

Marine industry veteran Craig Barrie founded Dragon Powerboats in early 2002 to make this statement a reality. By combining a unique product design, an upscale manufacturing process, and a centralized distribution system, Dragon Powerboats has developed a precise formula to take high- performance boat building and marketing to a new level. A level higher than anything found in performance boating today.

The company will offer three versions of THE DRAGON™: Performance, Factory II and Super Vee. Thus, THE DRAGON™ can be pure pleasure, pure racing or a combination pleasure/race boat. American Power Boat Association class requirements are built in.

Any of the Conroe guys planning on going on Lake Charles casino run April 25? We'll need to know for docking reservations by early next week. And any coming down for Outlaw Challeng next weekend? Tommy

I ran across one the other day that was turn key and set up just like it in the 60's and now I can't find it. It wasn't the one on SOS, but a full cabin etc. &525's.

I was still working on the cruiser at the time, so I didn't save it.

Bank of America wouldn't take it back. I called yesterday to tell them that I could get it done from my credit union, and he said someone else came and got it.

He tried to make me feel better by saying the boat wasn't worth the money anyway, blah, blah, blah.

At what point in the last 2 weeks should that comment have come up?

I wonder if spk1 has a new excalibur tied up behind the house?
