He's the luckiest kid in the world!

Now you can get to having the "fun" part on the travel trailer, & a good excuse to buy more tools...So stock up on the Advil & have a fun weekend!

Never tried lawn skiing, Looks like fun to me..:whoo:

The boat bed is awesome.. Every little boy should own at least one in there life time..

Looks like you have irons in quite a few fires now WOOD.. The trailer is another interesting project too..

One of the guys on my Woodworking Forum built this for his Grandson and I thought you iBoaters would appreciate his efforts. I know I Did!!!

Well, what do we have here?:cool:

W/out the Scott OB, possibly a bit less, but w/ it, a tad more :)

Is 200mi outside your reach?

It's even the right color to fit into the Blue Flamingo boathouse's color scheme so that maybe the Admiral wouldn't notice the change if you parked the BF elsewhere for a bit :rolleyes:

Please do not give my name, # or email to the Admiral. I got problems enough dealing w/ mine :facepalm:

Have a good Turkey day.

Hey, I figured it was gonna be a love/hate. That's why I skipped posting a pix, IF you had the will power not to click the link, I might be in deep guano w/ your Admiral...

If not: MERRY CHRISTMAS! (albeit early)

Definitely try to score the Scott too..............

Good luck

Well, just tell the Admiral she doesn't really want you IN the house ALL day long anyway

Or Keeping busy w/ something you enjoy

{wait, strike that^^^ | so, alright That's about enough BS! Lets just agree to call an okie an okie, OK?}

Keeping busy doing SOMETHING you LOVE doing, helps prolong your and enriches her life. K? :pray:

Cause by doing all this stuff that others can't imagine finding joy in, but that we do, helps make us happier fellas that are usually mucg more fun to be w/ then that other fella that comes home at the end of a long, dreary, drudgery filled work day.

Hey, I kind of like the sound of that ^^^ run it up the flag at your place & if the Admiral smiles and thinks it's accurate, please let me know. I'll run it past my own certified BS detector technician/operator Admiral.

Man, I should so work for Hallmark.... :rolleyes: :watermelon:

Good luck WOG.

Hope you don't need it......................... Travel safe this holiday weekend.

Here's what I worked out with the Admiral...

We're going to Edmond for Turkey Day. Coming home on Sunday. I can call the Guy then. IF the boat is still available I can make arrangements to go look at it the following weekend, Dec 6, 7th. I can ONLY get it IF I can Fanagle the deal down to $250. Same price I paid for the Blue Flamingo. She's a Tough One!!!!! We shall she what transpires!!!!

To All My iBoat Friends...

Options, all you needed was options & some operational perimeters..... So I reckon it doesn't get any better then that....
-------{insert Mission Impossible theme music here}------


Suppose 'someone' could call & get some details & etc and do a little fishing in your stead, that's legal, right? :rolleyes:

Maybe make & break a few appointments to see the boat this weekend. Wear him done a touch before you call him on Sun to set an appt for a week from now.......


It's a holiday weekend, even at that price, it's likely to be available for quite a while. Good luck, travel safe & let us know if you reach the guy.

Christmas Came a bit early. 3/4hp Beltdrive TacSew Industrial Not a walking walking foot but it sews like one. Nice big stitches and I tested it on 6 layers of vinyl and it didn't even cough. Built in Reverse, does zig zag and came with a bunch of different attachments and feed dogs. It's ready to go. Rated at 800 spm. Couldn't pass it up for $200 bucks. One of our members is gunna buy my old Morse Machine so that helps cut the cost of this one so I'm a Happy Camper. My son has a bunch of VW Bus guys lined up for me to do their Bus Interiors this winter, plus 2 guys @ work want me to do their boat seats. I'm gunna be BIZ-EEEEEEEEE


3/4 HP Belt Driven Clutch Motor
