Congratulations, she looks way better than I thought she would look after 6 years of complete neglect.

Craig, glad the trip went well, and you made it back home safe. Other than being a little dirty, what a beautiful boat. If it hadn't been so far from home, I would have bought it myself, but any drive over thirty minutes is too much for me. I'm just glad you've taken ownership and will bring it back to life. Sorry I didn't make it over your way last week to pick up the LM18, hope it's not too much trouble. I planned on coming over this week, but my mom was just admitted to the hospital today, so I'll know more tomorrow. She's almost 94 so I don't want to be away until I know she's ok. She's a bit stressed lately, with my brother passing 2 weeks ago and my sister passing the 3rd week of August. I'll let you know as soon as I know more. Thanks, Mike

Craig, thanks for making her look good again. I know you have some work to do on her. I am just so glad to get her in such good hands. Tom
