Had an aunt on my Dad's side of the family who spent most of the 70's on planet Quaalude, with occasional side trips to its moon Valium. Every time someone mentions Valium I can still see her perpetual "thousand yard stare", she also tested the "seaworthiness" of her Maverick by parking it in the neighbor's pool. I suppose everyone has relatives like that, or am I just lucky?

It's just you. Sea worthy Maverick ? No way. Ever seen one of those little french car boats looks like a small 57 chev. Are you sure that handshake isn't a figment of your imagination ??

See one, heck I've sailed in one on Lake Norman here in Carolina. To those who haven't heard of/don't remember, may I introduce you to the amazing Quandt Amphicar. Made in Germany from 1961-1968 using the drive train from the Triumph Herald, its not much of a car, and not much of a boat, but its a real hoot! Ever see one in person SS?

They guy that I know made a slightly odd and one of a kind boo boo, he tried to use Port-A-Walls on his tires and they pulled away from the tires ruining his "rudder authority". We had a real head scratching session until he clambered out on the hood while I steered, once we hit about two knots the whitewalls ballooned and there was no steering, truly a one of a kind deal. Can you imagine the looks you get when you engage the props in traffic?

I think the consensus is to fire up your drill, something tells me you'd like to take a drill to your SS, right Sunflower?

I'll have to tinker with that e-mail later today SS, yeah "stealth" is fitting isn't it. I see you found a solution to your plate bracket holes, wouldn't you like to give every dealer who installs an unnecessary bracket a poke in the nose?
