It’s being restored after years of abuse by my dad. Our family bought it new in 39. Forgive the self quote       The the third owner was my grandpa, he was a judge. We had “The Judge” put on the back with gold many years ago. It had to go for the refurnished wood. We will probably put it back on. It gets entered into boat contests, well used to, in Walloon Michigan. My predecessors had a lake house next to some fancy pants writer named Hemingway or something, the other side of the house had someone that owned K2 skis or ski boots (Lange I think) of some sort, I stayed there for probably 15 summers. I drink bud light and shitpost while moderating SA now. E we had to have that trailer custom made for the length and weight of the boat, it was over 10k if memory serves. It had never left northern Michigan in its life. Burt Sexual fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Oct 30, 2019 |

DarkSoulsTantrum posted:That’s a cool rear end boat If you noticed, the throttle is actually on the steering wheel. Also that three inch exhaust sits below water level so it sounds as bad rear end as a straight pipe monster of a 454 would at idle speed. Now the wake it tosses was a hard challenge to learn water skiing behind as the wake was as tall as me at the time. When I hit 10 or 12 I was using them as ramps. I cleared the whole thing once in my twenties. They have pictures of them pulling up eight skiers at once when I was a babe. We tried not to stress it later on in life though. E I feel like gene needs to get in here...

Smythe posted:beautiful boat, and family, burt. bravo Thank you. There’s a balance we try to maintain between restoration and rebuilding it. We saved all the usable screws from the sidewalls and the wood, but the Upholstry was bad. So that’s going new in the old style. Did I mention we (and someone we hired) took off all the sidewall and wrapped it in fiberglass, the rolled it into a huge oven that baked it for a few hours. Then painstakingly rebuilt the boat. Lol. So much money on legacy history.

Lordshmee posted:I have a GPX DC 700 model cassette/am/fm alarm clock radio that has ridden the table beside every bed I’ve ever had since I was a small child. Its durability astounds me because it was a cheap piece of junk even when new and I can find no information about it at all online. I don’t know exactly when it was made but I’m going to guess late 80s. After all that time only one of the lights in the display has burnt out but it’s not one that makes telling the time difficult, and it has that wonderful old quality of being bright enough to read in the dark but not actually light up the room at all. I often wonder if it will outlast me. I’m pushing 40 now, and it shows no signs of giving up. This is nice.
