So Paul....I was having a conversation about the status of your boats with a mutual 'friend' this weekend and I'm curious to hear why the Black Thunder isn't in the water?!?!

[Bobcat]

[Pete B]

and what is your story Bobcat, 2 years in a row in KW your boat, was in a Down, NON-MISSION Capable Status!

Mutual friend keeps working on his quad beast instead of helping his friend (me).....

[Bobcat]

Ahem....lets keep focused Pete.......this thread is about Paul

[Ratickle]

I was on the phone with Jeff while you were out running. Any pics to start a thread with?????


How'd it do????

[Hellbent]

You're not changing the subject that easily....lol. Our friend says all you need to do is get it up there. I'd be happy to join in the festivities....I'll bring the beer.

Oh, and we had to spend all my finish-it-up money on a charter boat in Key West because Bobcat's wasn't up to the task!!!!!

[Hellbent]

Skirting the question will only bring shame and humiliation to the boating community at large....

You are right. The "industry" has too long been harmed by question skirters. We need to attack the question skirters and all who enable them. It doesn't matter who gets hurt. Innocents be damned. Any and all individuals who are within 50 miles of a question skirter must go under the bus for the greater good of the "sport." Doesn't matter if they are a question skirter. What matters is that we win, at any and all cost to friendships. Proximity equals guilt. Failure to attack a skirter equals conspiracy to skirt. Scorch the Earth if we must, but we must save the "industry" before the "integrity" of the "industry" is further harmed by skirters and people who enable skirty behavior. (Insert Howard Dean scream here.)

I love skirts....and sun dresses

But back to Paul's excuses.....

Mr. Paul, I believe the only thing that's kept the Black Thunder in dry dock for 5 years is the exhaust. ("Holy crap, has it been 5 years already?" you may ask yourself) Would you consider this to be a true statement? If so, would you agree that all it would take to fix said exhaust is a little fiberglass/plug work performed by a experienced craftsman? And would you also agree that a friend of ours just so happens to have a very experienced and capable craftsman on staff?

I anxiously await your thorough response....

[Ratickle]

Naw, it's a lot more than that. If that were the only thing, we have a couple guys on here who would swing by and do it here at the house.

Please provide a list for us to ponder....
