My dads new boat...(kinda long)

[tdschafer]

Excellent read! Thanks for sharing. That's awesome that you were able to get that tub running right for your dad. Great memories made there. The wifes brother needs a beating, he sounds like a dirtbag. Maybe a new layer of duct tape on that seat & she should be as good as new......J/K. Well done!

This thread was awesome, it was truly a pleasure to read through. I'm glad you were able to get the boat running for your dad & his family to enjoy! I can relate to this in so many ways albeit in a "roles reversed" situation. I bought my 215 EC last summer & my dad has been helping me fix her up over the course of the past year. We've battled numerous mechanical & electrical issues but finally have it running good. Working on the boat has brought us closer & given me an opportunity to learn so much from him... Thank you for sharing your story man!

She's a beaut Clark.....couldn't resist.

So you were the one that lived in Goodland. We used to go to California a lot when I was a kid and our first stop was always Goodland. No offense, but I hated that place.

We lived in Goodland from when I was in 2nd grade to 7th grade, Hated every year there.

Gotta admit, after some of you good people mentioned you wish your dads were still here, I got a little teary eyed at this pic!View attachment 132527

You aren't the only one that got something in their eye...I'd frame this thumbs up pic and hang it on the wall.

Don't blame you. Hated every day there. Great job with your Dad's boat!
