It was 104 at the Lake today. I think I was in the water as much as I was in the boat. Great day, the new E-Tec is wild.

Hey Rick found this 16' SC for $1400. I thought you'd appreciate the looks of the chrome/silver Merc they've got hanging off the transom:D

HURON angler, I got a sister in Boyne City they own the Quiznos up there (new one year old store)
and I just got back from a work trip to Detroit (Little Caesars Enterprises) back in May, visited my brother he lives in St. John's a little town just north of Lansing, spent 2 days up that way, peaceful area, looks like decent fishing areas too. Cant go wrong in Mich fishin, never got skunked once when I loved there (St Clair Shores)

Vegas, I live just north of Lansing in DeWitt township and my fishing hole is between DeWitt and St. Johns:D Don't tell anyone though:p The fishing is great in MI and I love it here.

It is peaceful here relative to the Detroit area anyhow, actually I grew up in Petoskey just north of Boyne City too, small world. Give me a shout if you are back in this area and want to catch some fish and have a beer.

Of course, the same goes for you too Rick;) Sorry for the mini-hijack.

If I had $1400 in hand that I didn't need for bills I'd be towing her back to my place right about now:(

That rig is sitting only maybe 5 miles from where I live. If this one gets posted for a lower price I will be talking to the owner.

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

You guys crack me up.:D I cant wait to hear what Rick and Kev have to say about this one.:rolleyes:

Just so you know, I had already sent an email to the owner after I first saw the ad this morning(I may have that kind of cash to burn in 2-3 weeks...starting to get more overtime hours at work;)). Looks like a 16' Holiday with a swinging middle windshield door. Owner claims to have recently redone the deck.

Here is the link to the full ad.

Like Kev's only 2 feet shorter?

Thanks for being the voice of reason Kev...but the family likes starcrafts too so they agreed that using candles to read books for a few months instead of watching the dish wouldn't be asking too much:D:D:D

Seriously though, the owner responded, it is a Holiday with a swing-open windshield and the Merc is 65hp. I will be negotiating the terms shortly to see if a reasonable deposit will get that ad removed from craigslist ASAP:D

Just trying to get my invitation to Tinstock squared away. And wouldn't you agree that the $1400 with running 65 Merc price is better than the $600 15' Holiday with no motor?

HA bud..

I think that a boat you can drop in the drink and have a bit of fun before tearing into her is a great thing!!!!

Your 95% in the club......almost there HA!!!

Re: Starcraft club can I join ?

LOL Guys nope boats not flipped yet and posting pics from the new puter will be a breeze it has a card reader built in :D. I still have a pile of work backed up and should be out there right now not goofing around in here but I did finally get the new laptop up on the network and had to try it out :D. I was also able to access iboats from the crackberry yesterday while waiting to see the eye doctor who told me I needed $500.00 worth of bifocals :eek:. I thought I was haviong trouble seeing I guess that explains it LOL. The pisser is I need these glasses but they felt it was safe for me to drive withpout them for a few more days till they come in :eek:. I should start to slow down some this week and get back to redoing the bunks on the trailer since thats all thats keeping the boat upside down . Well ok there is that whole cover thing but EZ says the walmart covers work great :D.

Andy I have the curve and the screen is much larger than SWMBO's pearl that may be part of the issue.
