It's been a great summer though, 'cept for the "sand bar incident"! (Live and learn) Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I should add I calculate I put about 200 gallons of gas (and oil of course) through this motor this year. It didn't get "dialed in" till September really, but we had fun anyways.

other than lake testing which does not count as pure family time on the water .......not work related we only got out once in our Cruisers Inc which is for sale. Great ride and regardless of the fact it only happened once it was the best to be out there as Mommy Daddy and the two boys! I never got my G3 on the water but she is not far off.
So we got out in our Royal Vacationer 570 and if not next summer the summer after we will be on the water in our Cruisers Inc Barnegat 25
P.S. Frank the photo of you airborn in the PC is AWESOME

OK, not the best pics but will do for now. MY 1960 Wagemaker Clipper. Got her in the water once to tweak the motor after getting her started after 30 years.

She's not completely done yet but she's seaworthy and ready to go. Too darn windy here in Soutehrn Maryland to take her out this weekend. May take a half day this week and take her out. Need to blow the carbon out before winterizing and finish restoration.

Bob

Great to see all of these old boats getting some love.

Here are a couple of my '60 Reinell last June. This was my 1st time out in the boat since getting it over a year ago. I used it a few times but now it's dry docked 'till I can put in a new transom. I will also be installing one of my modded vintage Starflites with the 100+ powerhead inside.
