Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay.		She may be 25 years old, but nothing that an orbital sander, a gallon of Bottom Paint, Deck Paint, 4 new rollers and camel hair brushes, Linseed Oil, Can of polyurethane, 3M Aluminum Polish, 3M Fiberglass Stripper/Polisher, $40.00 worth of window tint, and about 30 hours of some (53 year old) elbow grease, supplied by yours truly can't fix. :8o:

But it gets tougher and takes longer every year to bring back both her's and my own youthful charm.

Location: Rhinelander		53, huh? I guess I'm not the only old fart around this place. Great looking boat, sir, the old girls definitely have the charm.

Location: McFarland, WI		I thought you were talking about my wife. We'd both gladly go back to 53, there were fewer body pains back then. I just got my Tuffy ready today and tomoorow will be the first venture on the water. Hopefully everything will work. The new Lakemaster GPS chip for Wisconsin looked great as I used the cursor to check out a few lakes. I feel like a kid on Christmas eve.

Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay.		My first actual (BIG BOAT) scheduled charter isn't until June 12th. The Hard Core trolling bite only starts a little earlier than that, but is up in shallower water where I hesitate to go. The old gal only gets about 3 month of actual use every year, so she has a pretty good chance of outliving her owner.
