Maybe Bob Stoops is one of those coaches who likes to save his Timeouts for possible future use. Always nice to win the big rivalry game. Go Navy, Beat Army!

Well I placed an Ad on Craigslist that said..."Get your best price on your Boat Upholstery Needs and then Call me!!" Posted some pics of my work and whadaya know I got a job. Lady called and wanted the cabin cushions redone for her berthed boat. They were 1/2 vinyl 1/2 1960's Harvest Gold plaid!!!! WOW!!!! She provided the sunbrella material and thread. Her best price from the Pros was $400. I told her I'd do em for $200 since it was all labor. She also wanted a couple of throw pillows for $10 bucks each. Here's what I came up with. From WOG's Family to ALL my iBoats Friends, We wish you All a..









​

Oh and while I was at it I made this nifty Push Stick for the Wood Shop to keep my Fingers nice and Safe!!!!





From WOG's Family to ALL my iBoats Friends, We wish you All a..
Merry Christmas!!!!

Once you retire, you'll wonder how you ever had time to work! Nice work on the upholstry, that machine was a real good investment.

All the best to you and your family & enjoy the holidays! Merry Christmas!!

Well, over the Holidays a local Marina posted a 1986' Pontoon boat on Craigslist. http://tulsa.craigslist.org/bod/4806331011.html

I called my S.I.L. and my Son and asked them if they would be interested in helping me with the restoration AND the Costs!!! They said YES!!! I'll be moving to Edmond (where they both live) in 18 months when I retire, and plan on getting a place with some acerage so I will have ample space to store a 24 ft Pontoon Boat. I think I may KNOW a guy that could sew a Nice FULL cover for it!!! The "Toon" has a 115 Merc "Tower of Power" (not sure of the year but by appearance I believe it's a 70's model) on it but the motor has NO Title and it's currently NOT running. I've been thru the process of obtaining a Motor Title in Ok so that really doesn't bother me to much. Boat has a good clean title. It has 4 Couches, a Helm Seat and Two Aft Folding Fishin Seats all of which appear to be in decent condition. Carpet and railings also appear to be in decent shape. Toons have NO noticeable dents or defects. Comes with a Dual Wheeled Trailer with FAIR tires. Marina is Closed till after the first of the year. I'll be going out to do a "Up close and Personal inspection" Compression Check on the motor to confirm it's repariable and not Locked up. Determine the condition of the plywood deck and the overall EYEBALL condition of the boat. The PRICE seems almost to good to be true and we all know what that usually means. The family all thinks the Flamingo is just TOO SMALL!!! They MAY be Right!!! Not sure if I can Part with her though!!! I just NOW got her where I can use her a bunch!!!

I'll keep you posted.

Great find if that's what you're looking for. The Tracker can be your Caddy, the Flamingo can be your 'Vette!

Does this mean we have to stop calling ya an old okie ? Or is Edmond in OK ....
Looks like a fun barge !!!
