Well,

Finally a knowledgable Marinette/boater person called me about H2O LOU tonight. A guy who knows the virtue of welded aluminum. He's from Missouri.

He is comming to see her in 2 weeks, that is, unless she sells before then.

Here is how I know he's an experienced boater.

1. Intelligent conversation. None of this: that old wooden Owens is cheaper..crap. Duh, yea because, IT'S ROTTED OUT (&*&*&^(*^(^^. ARG!

2. He want's to do a short haul and reassured me that it would be at his expence and liability. Definitely a boater.

3. Will do a compression check. If all the cylinders are worn equally then she has had no major problems. This is a new technique to me. It sounds reasonable.

Maybe I'll be back in the market soon for a C-25.

Good winds,

Paul
