    MFG Calendars????

    I saw on another forum where they have calendars of different classic boats and I was wondering if there is an MFG calendar. Has anyone heard of one? If not, there certanly isn't a shortage of photos on here of sweet looking boats that would look good on a calendar. Any thoughts?

    Re: Need help with transom repair w/pics Wow .... that sucks EZ sorry to hear that. I sure hope mine holds up.
