    Heard on the news today that all the stores will be closing this coming Sunday, March 8, which is earlier than previously predicted. Now's the time to redeem gift cards if you have them! Dunno if there will actually be any real deals available. I'm going to my local store to check things out...

    Power Cats

    I do not NEED another boat... I do not WANT another boat.. I cannot AFFORD another boat... But when I saw this ad on Craigslist for a Power Cat with restored twin 40s, I just had to find out what kind of boat it was. Now I'm frothing at the bit! Geez.. how cool are those boats?! :D...

    Reference this thread for my decision parameters. As mentioned in the thread above, I recently acquired 2 boats, an overpowered 15? and a 23? with no engine, neither of which is truly water-ready at this time. I?ve decided to work on the small boat first because it gets me on the water...
