    59 Century Coronado

    My son's friend is great with old boats, cars, etc. There are kids out there that enjoy the old-school. Thought you might enjoy his latest endeavor, he put it in the water for the first time this weekend - glad I was there (finally) to enjoy it!

    VP SX-M trim cyylinder

    I have been told that one of my drive trim cylinders was "puking milky oil", must be replaced, cannot be rebuilt, and a new one is $589. The drive is on a 1998 small cruiser, and is the original drive as far as I know. Does this sound right?

    What Winter Looks Like Outside

    Yep, we haven't had nearly enough snow this winter, it was 15 the other night, and we got to catch up on missed shoveling. We got about a foot out of this one - but too little too late

    For those in the North East...

    She'll be slipped again on the upper Niagara near Buffalo this season. The last couple it's been delayed due to work being done on 'er after getting out of storage. This season I hope to be back to "normal" and in by late March/early April. Weather is usually not the biggest factor

    Davey Jones' locker
