    My New Toy

    I love the water and have been boatless for a couple years. I put a deposit on a new one that my local dealer has coming in. Might see it next week. It's a Boston Whaler 15 Montauk. They are new and scarce and I haven't seen one yet but the sale is contingent on a test drive.

      I'm confused? How do you prevent your table saw from sliding around?

      Hope it works out for ya!

        I heard you can cut a boston whaler in half and it will still float.
        Maybe...........

          Yeah, just make sure that you end up in the half with the motor...

          The price of fuel (especially in the marinas) has put a major bite on the boating biz here in FL. The 50 gallon-per-hour guzzlers are sitting idle or selling for pennies on the dollar.

            Nice toy, I can see many hours of fishing this summer on the Sound and lakes.

            I can also see many hours of woodwork building enhancements for the boat. Have fun and enjoy, you deserve it.

                Nice Dick, but it's not made of WOOD!

                  I am excited for it to get here, kind of like a kid waiting for Christmas.

                  Test reports show 5 GPH @ 35 MPH wide open, 2.3 GPH @ 20 MPH which would be a normal cruise speed. Shouldn't break the bank on fuel usage.

                  Nice thing about no wood is that you can use it rather than spending your time with a varnish brush in your hand.

                  Bass look out.

                      This must be where the nickname "Whaler" comes from. I had a whaler many years ago for sking with an 85 merc that would do about 40mph. great boat. Lots of fun with the new toy.

                        Whaler,
                        I heard that BOAT is actually an acronym for "Bust Out Another Thousand". I saw a bumber sticker on an pickup one day that read: Just another boat accessory

                          I had always heard "Bring Over A Towline" or "Better Own A Truck"...

                          What I actually found to be true was "Bust Our Asses Together"...
