    Default Boat gone gone

    Boat was beautiful. Yes even after sitting all those years we took it out again today and I skied. oil pressure great sooo nice. I have had boats all my life but somehow fell in love with this 86 soltare. so my son hooked it up today and on the way home I saw a boat passing us. It hit a tree and got wiped out. I will sell it in parts now as I mourn. Still have not figured out how to post pictures but can put pics on youtube or craigs list. while I have had some nice boats and am a pilot with nice planes, this boat hit my sweet spot, but now it is gone.

    Default fast boat

    Yea it was almost cool. I watched the boat pass me. I was on the concrete and it was on the side of the road in the grass. I was like amazed as it was going fast and straight and I began to think "wow I dont think it is even going to get damaged; then there was one tree further out and kaboom. But you are right it was a miracle that no one got hurt. and yea funeral services are Monday.

    Ouch! That has to add a little salt to the wound! Hopefully everything works out in the end. Very glad to hear no one was hurt.
