Lake Michigan Gathering

Three weeks ago, this up coming weekend we were waxing,waxing,cleaning and cleaning. looking to launch april 15th or sooner. with this weather in wisconsin, we still have waxing,waxing,cleaning and cleaning to do.

We made a offer on a 50 dancer about a week ago. If they take the offer i am sure we will be waxing and cleaning again.
That's OK with me
 
50 dancer

Thanks for keeping you fingers crossed. Talked my wife in to looking at this 50 dancer, don't know how I did it but I did.
sent in the offer last week friday and called the broker wednesday, still no answer. Don't know if thats good or bad, The offer was at low wholesale, but you never know.
I will keep you posted
 
I told you I would keep you posted on the 50 dancer. Broker called yesterday. No Go :smt089 Seemed to be a higher offer than mine. I gave it my best shot. :huh: we will keep looking
 
Sorry to hear, I tend to think that when it's meant to be......you know. Good luck in your future search- the hard part is done,your wife approves!

Amen to that!

Spent 5 months last year finding the right new / old boat for myself
The admiral was actually the first to physically see the boat
Called me from the marina and said " time to call your banker"
 
Don't forget to reserve

first Run

Well... aren't you just the luckiest man alive.......I haven't even gotten Ambiance wet, other then using a hose on her, but it's coming very very soon, Congrats on your first run across Lower MI.
 
Salty Dog is wet, we spent the weekend getting her squared away, just a few things left and we are ready to head out. Felt good to sleep on the boat again!
 
Good hearing from you

Salty it was great hearing from you up there!!!!!!!! Glad to see you got her wet...... as you can read earlier, I haven't gotten her wet, waiting for the right weekend I guess... Fired up'd thoses cathedrals of torque didn't you...? Ahh the sound of clattering injectors is music to my ears....
 
Wonderful Life is also in and we are now working on clean, polish and wax on the topsides.

Good to hear that we are all close to launch or are in.

Ditto on Legacy: Wax on - Wax off!

Hey Salty Dog!

Boat looks great! I was up this past Friday and Saturday polishing and waxing Miss T (stored in Northport). I noticed you turned her around bow-in Saturday. Just curious, were the minks "using" your swim platform?

Anyway, we go in May 18th. Will you still be at Harbor West? If so, we'll see you then! I'll be in the second slip on the same west wall that you are on (right in front of the house that sits on the marina).

Hi Jeff, glad to hear you are getting things ready.

No on the minks but I do keep the power cord/hose hole plugged. It was just to darn hard getting on and off for my wife and me with Waldo under my arm. Don't want to lose either of them in the drink.

Not sure when we are heading south to Frankfort yet. We both would like to stick around for the month, will have to wait and see. We did a long weekend, her B-day and our anniversary, we had a great time. Headed out and went north Saturday morning, a bit on the "cool" side but was a great ride. So nice to be back on the water.

Will keep an eye out for ya.
