Congratulations Wood !
It looked like it ran out ok.. It did look a little windy and choppy . I had not noticed the chrome spot light until now It looks great!
Hopefully the better half is ok thats our main concern . The keels just a keel and you will have it whipped back into shape in no time!

Hey Woody, sorry to hear things went a little pear-shaped. Fix the missus, then the "Flamingo". Finger's crossed thatwill be OK.

I gotta agree w/ Jon I see a hint of a smile there, must of been some fun.

Glad to see you got the splash monkey off your back even if it didn't go as planned. Take care of the better half and get the BF fixed and finished because it's nothing but good now that you got the evils out.

That's a cigarette lighter/Chart light. Put it in so I could use a plug in charger unit for iPods etc...

Actually, that's not a spot light, thats the HORN!!! Classic looking ain't it. You gotta hear what it sounds like. Very unique!!!

Glad to see you splashed the BF! Sorry to hear the admiral hurt her back, the rest is unimportant until she's up & running again, and any damage to the keel will be resolved by 1 heck of a backyard boat builder, I think you know him:facepalm:

It looked great!

Good thoughts your way for the Admiral's speedy recovery.

Congrats on the splash- Hopefully you drank the champagne rather than wasting it by pouring it on the boat

As for the damage- After the work you've already done, I'm sure it will be nothing. I know how you feel about it, though- I can tell you where every scratch and ding is on mine, and exactly what stupid thing I did to cause it... Just comes with the territory...

Just catching up with the splash! Finally, congratulations! Loved the pics and video but..if it weren't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all? I know that sick feeling, hope you can spring back quickly. And too bad your wife shared that luck, hope she's feeling better soon! Good luck with the repairs don't get too discouraged!

WOG,
You and the wife sure looked good riding in the BF. Both of you had nice smiles on your faces.
I know you must me really disapointed about the end of the day.
Hope your wife is ok. Can't have the better half down and out.
I am sure that the damage that was done can be fixed by you, but I know you were not looking forward for more repair work.
Good luck with everything and hope your wife gets to feeling better real soon.

Re: 1961 Lonestar "Flamingo" - SPLASHED!!!!!

The BF looked great out there on the water Wood! I'm sorry to hear the Admiral took a fall and I wish her a speedy recovery! It's a shame you tore up the keel but I know you'll have it back to new again! At least you didn't blow up an outdrive like some other guy we know:facepalm:.....any oil is better than no oil....
