[phester]

hey skools, did you pick that up when you were on L.I. ??

 

[Skools Out]

i picked it up on the way there, i dropped the trailer in Riva, MD right at Bygrace's home and then picked the trailer up on the way back at the marina and loaded the motor that same time.

 

[phester]

gotcha, where on "the Isle of long" were you?

 

[Skools Out]

Lake Ronkonkoma, NY That is where my future wife is from originally.

 

[phester]

well today i cleaned out the boat and washed her, she looks so good without the polen, but now i've left the boat outside and started on the motor i've stripped it so does anyone want to see my Johnson Naked ;D lol , it is close to no paint at all from the power head down.

 

[Skools Out]

now you won't belive this, This boat is a 1978 and i cut a hole in the stringer at the transom on both sides for piping, well the other day i noticed this stuff running out of both sides holes, i checked closer and it was sap can you believe a boat that is almost 30 yrs old still has sap in the stringers that will run out, i was like WOW they are in damn good shape i knew but wow.

 

[Pipe_Dream]

Sap? Unbelievable!

Hey Skools, that 225 E looks a lot like my 150, except that mine is on the V and running.

 

[Skools Out]

You 150 is what yr again? must be a looper yr then lol.
