Hello all! I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday weekend on the water! I posed an introduction about a week ago, it was filtered due to me being a new user and attaching photos. Once it was cleared by a moderator (Jetlink), I subsequently edited the post and it was blocked again - never to return! It looks like it's made it down to page two now with no content in the post. I'll just let that die, and say hello here! I am not an easily discouraged guy!
So, I bought a 1986 Supra Saltare early this summer! It is my second inboard towboat - the first being a Correct Craft Barracuda which I did tons of work to over the years. Photos of the old project here:

I begrudgingly sold the Correct Craft this spring to make way for SOMETHING larger and newer. When I found the Saltare for sale semi-locally I was hooked! It was bigger and a little older than I was REALLY shopping for, but it was in awesome shape, the price was right, and I just couldn't say no! Of course the bigger boat spawned an upgrade in truck, and a storage solution beyond my standard suburban attached garage... As things tend to do with me, that escalated quickly...
I've got a few projects to take on with the Supra, and I'm joining this site to gain a little supra specific knowledge, and share what I learn along the way.
A few pictures of the Saltare here:

I'm actively avoiding attaching or embedding any photos with my first few posts to see if it helps appease the "new user" gods.
Thanks for reading!
