The guy who invented those must have been a cruiser owner because we use our clear plastic window savers to hold our towels up (at least I do). Thanks for reminding me that I need to get more.

The ones I got appear to be nothing more than 1" ID PVC pipe cut to size and such. They do have many colors available. I just bought white.... much easier to find against the black of my top, or at night when putting stuff away.

Again, I liked the larger Cobalts, and such, but the GF made clear the boat she liked the best is in my driveway.

Did Lake Viking still have the 302 there? They were only asking $150K; you shoulda got 2.

I was looking at it, but it only had twin 350 mags or 300 hp volvos (can't remember which). I did like it, other than it had no berth, just a potty. The GF even noticed it was just a GOD DAMN BIG bow rider, and felt it wouldn't turn as quickly as my 210SS, so I decided not to get one. After searching around, I did see the Ebbtide 270, a BR with berth and plenty of umph.... maybe after I finally get the FW paid off.

Are any of you guys going to the LotO/OP boat show next weekend? I'm thinking about it... thought I saw a few FW's heading there when I was working at the Sprint campus this week.

Not sure yet but would like to. Why were you at Sprint?

Most of my job is predictive maintenance of large electrical motors. I was testing thier Chiller motors. Just something they pay us to do annually.

Cool. I'm not an electrician, but I read Fluke News which (although primarily a sales thing) has a lot of very interesting articles about predictive maintenance. Interesting stuff.

According to tonight's local Fox news, this weekend's KC show saw boat sales up 35-50% over last year's show. They didn't say whether that meant 3 compared to 2, or something more substantial.

No word on sock trends.

I saw that as well and was shocked. Then I thought about how much it would take to move that percentage, too. I bet they sold 6 more boats than last year. My B.I.L. went on Friday night-said it was sad and disappointing compared to previous years. Thinking about hitting the O.P. show next weekend. Saw the FWs sitting in the lot last night when I was driving down I-435.

Yeah I'm thinking about hitting the OP show as well. I've been working quite a bit on the weekends lately though, so will have to see.
