I texted that number and the guy said he prefers fiberglass boats!:confused: if it's Jason something has turned his mind (or he remembers my phone number)

Good luck sticking to that story when the interrogation starts. The suspicious 16-18ft snow covered lump out back may raise suspicions....

Extreme weather day today as well? -5F here at 815am and windy, so that makes it what, feel like it's -40F+/- :blue: :cold:

I'd like to suggest that everything below 10F be called stinking cold. Once it drops to 0F, its simply freaking cold. Then add a extra really or 2 in front if it's really really freaking cold.

That is all from weather central here at WKRP, in Deep Freeze, WV.

BTW: We have also officially put a hit on the fat furry rat in PA if he 'predicts' a longer winter this year.

Well my friends, today did in fact end up an "Extreme Temperature Snow Day". With the wind chill it was about 35 below.

Now, those of you who know me best, know that on days like this, when left alone , unsupervised, for any amount of time, things happen.

:becky:

Wuss! :lol: Down here in the sunny Southland it's 20?F and have 2.75 inches of snow on the ground and still falling. Metro Atlanta is closed (that's a blessing) and the dipshotz on the road are blowing their horns because a) traffic is at a standstill, b) those that are moving are being cautious and driving slowly, and c) they are dipshotz. :mad-new:

Y'all stay warm! I'm gonna go and show some of these people how old I think they act and their IQ. :facepalm::lol:

Nope, smaller fellas, I've got a gap in the 15'-18' range. I'm pretty sure that once that gap is filled, I should be allllllll set:becky:


Well that sums it up. So no need for any more boats...... right? :laugh:

jas, I found this aluminum factory build thread on another forum and thought of your pilot house plan. These things are a bit more stout than our riveted hulls, but thought you might enjoy some boat porn: Ok Here we go Armstrong ALUMINUM 28' monohull - The Hull Truth - Boating and Fishing Forum

The guy says about $200K when power and electronics are added. Wow.

Billy's a little possessive about his welder:

200k. You think in 40 years we'll see it on the Restoration Thread and people asking why they did this or did that during the original design/build? Of course some of you guys will have to fill me in when we meet up again in the here after, I'll be gone by then.
