ok, so I've never owned a boat before. Daddy always said two best days in a man's life was the day he "bought" a boat and the day he "sold" it.

So, I found this old 62 Arrow, rated for a 40 ph motor and has a 68 Crysler 55 hp motor sticking on the back. I agreed to the huge price of $350 as long as I got boat, motor, trailer and the old parts motor leaning on a tree behind the boat.

I spent 3 days buffing out and shining up the gelcoat after 47 years of hot Texas sun. Using my best staple gun, I recovered the seats and slapped another battery in it. I cleaned the terminals and connections from the battery all the way to the starter and guess what happened.....

She purr's like my cat. nice stream of water shooting out the back. I immediately jumped in my pick up and bought a lottery ticket.

But to quote a very good friend and huge Starcraft nut (not to mention an esteemed Moderator)

"We find your lack of pictures disturbing"

I'm glad I was forthcoming with the pictures on my boat. I couldn't find either of our digital cameras in the House so I drove to my brothers and borrowed one.

No way I was going to risk going a day without pics. Just the thought give me shivers brrrrr...............:eek:

The mob is still camping out in Texas..We have nightly recon missions searching for a Starcraft Arrow sitting under a tarp...

I am uploading nav sat pics at the moment trying to pinpoint this user and we are searching his IP address for a hardline location

I hope it was a winner because you should have immediately posted pictures to the Starcraft Iboats Forum. Bragging here without pictures is like when a girl...oh never mind!
