As soon as you mentioned you liked scotch I said no adoption for that Laddie would be bad enough drinking my Beer but low & behold my Scotch too I donna think so

Really nice looking John.

With all of those snaps, I'm guessing you have a full enclosure. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of An Hileantoir III under full sail. That shot may require Beene in his boat with the 70 at full throttle.

[beene]

Ah ha..... I can see the shots are already being fired.... eh Ray?

LOL

OK

Just for the peanut gallery...
He has a Merc 75 4S EFI 1732cc head.
I have a Merc 75 4S Carb 1596cc head.

Mine is in the water.... his.... eta....?????? LOL.

But yes, the plan is for John to bring his new toy to my marina for inaugural voyage.... secretly because he will probably need a tow back to the marina when his engine fails.... LOL... did I say that out loud....

Just kidding of course.

J, we love ya, and you're definitely a wizard on mods, but the amount of pics in this thread are killing us. On my high-speed link this page took over a minute to load... I can't even imagine how long it would take for our members that have modems! We like the pictures, don't get me wrong, but I think it's better if we can let the page load and then let members choose to open the rest of the pictures on their own. OK?

So , have you been sailing yet this year?
Was out for 5 hours yesterday and plan on fishing all afternoon today...in between rain showers. Gees it has sure rainned a lot this summer in Québec.
Q1

[beene]

Yes he has, but not on his boats, just mine as far as I know.

Next sail might be Aug 3rd if he is in..... he keeps missing out on invites due work on his HIII

Cheers
