I would like to thank Dan for helping me out. I would liked to have thanked you in person but I knew you were buisy. I hope to see you again soon though, unfortunately it wont be at the new england ribcraft trip. Perhaps we will get together another time, again thanks

My pleasure. I saw you just as you climbed into your truck and drove off!

Another time...

I knew you were buisy so I took a minute to check out your boat, I like the new motor, You are going to make your money back real soon with the price of gas going up. Good choice. I hope we do get to meet on the water this year. I am going to try to get a trip together for any boat interested to block island or newport again.
thanks for everything

Yeah, the E-TEC is nice. The boat was a bit of a wreck when you saw it though. Needs a little TLC, particularly recovering the seat & new lifelines. All that stuff is original and starting to wear out. The tubes are in surprisingly good condition for 20+ years old though. After my son is done with his long hospitalizations (2 more weeks!), I'll be able to take care of some of that stuff, I hope!

Looks like I'll be missing the Marblehead Ribcraft meet this year. I just committed to sail my Viper 640 in the Newport Regatta the weekend of July 12/13. I'll probably drive the sailboat down on Friday afternoon, will certainly be having a beer somewhere in NPT that night...

I hope everything is going well with your son, I didnt realize he was still sick
