It usually doesn't take long for some paint to get rubbed off at a dock or to have creosote smear off a piling. They always look good when they first get painted. It still needs some plank work done amongst other things. I just don't know when I'll be able to ge to it. So far the reports from everywhere is that the fish haven't shown yet. Couple that with record high fuel prices and tons of competition for the few fish that may be around, it might be tough trying to make ends meet this year. I'm really glad I got the work done while I could.<br /><br /> Hey Ben- lots of memories, but not all good. I've had more fearful, anxious moments on the boat than at any other place in my life. The flip side is that when it's good, there's no better life. I hope that when it's time to call it quits the boat will be in good enough shape to provide someone else some good memoriesT B Bottsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831008888393528890.post-67531075557055405752012-06-18T19:20:46.592-07:002012-06-18T19:20:46.592-07:00Hell no you couldn't run her aground...too man...Hell no you couldn't run her aground...too many memories..She is looking really nice...Good luck fishing this summer Dad. <br /><br />BenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831008888393528890.post-40280414353525018452012-06-18T12:00:34.624-07:002012-06-18T12:00:34.624-07:00That is one spiffy lookin' boat.That is one spiffy lookin' boat.AKStaffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064462858449168255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831008888393528890.post-38709315033590014972012-06-18T10:16:55.372-07:002012-06-18T10:16:55.372-07:00Thanks Autumn.

At least I'm not all spastic wondering what I'm missing.<br /><br />Thanks Brian. It was a lot of hard work and really trying physically and mentally- and soon financially, but it had to be done. I couldn't just run the old girl up onto the beach and let her get picked apart by vandals.T B Bottsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831008888393528890.post-24468588543560203562012-06-18T07:42:18.476-07:002012-06-18T07:42:18.476-07:00Looks excellent dad congratulations.
