What? Oh no!

[kinsmen]

Well, I did the sht thing by lending my boat to someone. It seemed odd that this person would not talk to me or return my boat three days after borrowing it. Now I know why. He blew a tire, replaced both, (nice), filled up a 12 gallon tank with 17 gallons , and the cuda graw, he ran the bow hard of port into a boulder. The damage is difficult to fix because it is the upper molding.I posted to the restore section of this forum for advise. Morrow, don't lend anything without being ready for the sacrifice.

It's illegal in our state to let someone else operate your boat without your presence.

My friend who is blonde, asked me if she could use my boat this year to take out on the lake, sense hers is not running. I asked her where she was planning to go? I, of course have all the local lakes in a 75 mile radius in my phone book ready for action. Then I gave her the phone number where she could rent a boat for the weekend on whiskeytown. Her reply back was, But doesn't that cost money. YEP, but less than boat repairs.. She never asked again and her boat is still is dry docked in her field with her horse's that she doesn't know how to saddle up..

haha yeah, I lent my boat to a friend last year, he took it out with his old man and came back missing a fin off the prop and a cracked windscreen!

Re: What? Oh no!

I lent an outboard to a friend while he was shopping for a new one this year and about a week after he bought the new engine I asked for mine back and he told me he had lent it to his friend! And get this: His friend needed to borrow my engine because he forgot the oil in his and had blown it up! Amazingly the engine survived but I'll never lend anything to him again.<br />Eric
