Wow!!
I should very much like to sit with a tape recorder, a laptop, and a few bottles of (name your poison) with you, & Mrs. Cracker somewhere warm for about a week. We'd get that book(s) published. You could finance your AB23 with the royalties and I'd have a great collection of stories to tell my grand kids some day. Entertaining in the least, captivating at par, and certainly mostly true!! You don't by chance have a bit of Irish in you somewhere do you? You've obviously kissed the stone at Blarney! Keep em coming CL they surely best some of the other stuff we've been reading around here lately. Good stuff.

Re: Cracker Larry's OD 18
What a STORY I'm still trying to figure out how the Kansas kid was gonna justify those tickets. Field sobriety test That would've been a tough one to sell in court. Glad you all made it out okay. Sounds like more than just a good boat. Someone somewhere said it wasn't your time. 8 ft hole in the bottom, 3 feet of bow ripped off, 20 knots in a sail boat, some moron's massive wake, a solid attempt to pull you over sideways, and she was still upright

Re: Cracker Larry's OD 18
You damn right I'll leave it at home. I've not had a vacation in quite some time and I'll be danged if I'm gonna work while I'm there. I plan on staying drunk a fair portion of the time and hopefully I only remember about half the weekend anywayNo tapes, no cameras, no notebooks, no evidence George is leaving his badge home when he comes to Boca Grande, or I'll throw it in the river too.

Re: Cracker Larry's OD 18
It's been my experience that police officers, and judges have the best moonshine, ....,.... grass ....,... weapons, ..... , ..... cars.,.... and friends. Most are politely disinclined to share though

Re:
C Larry, I'm getting ready to get things together and wanted to know how much 5200 I would need for the rub rail? I'm going to use Black so it will blend into the rail. I was thinking two 10oz tubes would do, but thought I'd ask just to be sure.Cracker Larry wrote:
When it was done, we quickly attached it at the bow, tight up to the pattern with 3 screws, then stretched it like a banjo string. Got some clamps and screws in the stern to keep it stretched. Bedded it with plenty of 5200, and drilled and installed all the screws. It came out great we think
