Change is good, Marc. I'm happy for you.

I'm sorry I am a big ham when it comes to my boat. Even though I only owned her for 3 years, she has made me a happier person.

But it's time for the Hawk to change hands. I took care of her and she took care of me too.
I had no intentions to sell her but when my father-in-law's Center Console burned up a couple months ago. I have been worried about having a bigger boat for the family.
Next week I pick up a Deluxe Clipper from Chip, the clipper couldn't be more of a perfect boat for us.and am super excited about owning another feathercraft. Water sking, tubing, perch fishing here we come.
Tomorrow morning I will be meeting the new Owner half way. The boat is going to Connecticut.
I took a moment to sit at the helm one last time.

Yep jabe you shared that picture with me before, and it's a great one that's for sure.

I am sure there's all kinds of Mercs to be pulled in, but as long as it's not mine, we are doing just fine.
In the end, it's just about getting together and enjoy everyone's company. a little poke here and a poke there keeps the fire alive!!

Cheers!!!

Dan I do believe that outing was 3 summers ago, always liked that picture
Marc I am just a stump pulling kinda guy, keeps me in practice for bringing in the dead Merc's on the water, ha ha ha he

When I saved the photo some years ago I put 90 horsepower short shaft in the name of the photo file. So that information must have been provided wherever I borrowed the photo. I wish I had a good way to store more data when I save photos but I haven't figured out how.

Well I will say; it's hard to see when you feel like you are always tied to a tree stump wondering why you cant keep up.

I believe it is 90 hp and short shaft.
