Just wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself.
I am a retired Navy Electronic Warfare Technican, live in missouri. Have 4 Children, all grown, and 7 grandchildren. Married for the past 35 years (happily for about 28 years).
I currently have my third boat which is a 82 Skeeter SF150.
My other hobbies are enjoying my 81 Corvette, Model railroading and woodworking.
I currently work full time as a field service engineer for a large company traveling to hospitals and clinics to repair equipment the pathologis use in processing tissue which causes me to be on the road most of the week.
I look forward to fishing on the weekends with my older brother and sometimes the wife will come along.

Hi, welcome to the group. This is a very friendly community, and the information has helped me termendously as a first time boat owner. The people here are very cool.

Where do you live in Mo? we are in IL, but hunt, fish, and vacation in Mo quite a bit.

have fun!

He ain't talkin' his wife must be in the room.

Welcome to iBoats. Maybe you can talk some sense into one of my customers. He insisted on mounting the antenna on the deck of his Bayrunner and wonders why he can't talk to anyone. I tried to tell his that will focus the signal straight up in an aluminum boat with high gunwales.

Welcome to the site. You ever thought of selling the '81 and getting an '83? I understand they are really rare.
