    When you're 20 miles from home and see this bearing down on you...

    I know the ocean is different: I've only been caught on the Gulf in a storm once, and fortunately I was not the skipper. We had launched from the beach, so had to come in the same way. There was no way to "ride out" the storm, so we had to break the surf and get to the trailer. But dude knew...

    When you're 20 miles from home and see this bearing down on you...

    Got caught like that once here in TN. What was the worst was we beat the brunt of the storm back to the ramp; but the waves were coming big enough that I ran the risk of bashing the keel on rocks to get to the dock. Glad y'all made it in.

    Showing the Boston Whaler 13 some TLC . . .

    Those are supposed to be great little boats. I've always wanted one ... or a 17' Montauk :D

    Wacanda

    Welcome aboard. There's a little about Wacanda HERE. That boat looks like a late 60s or early 70s model to me. Is there a capacity plate on the boat (usually up by the helm) or a Hull ID Number stamped into the stern (Usually on the starboard side under the rub rail)?

    Trout

    Haven't fished salmon or steelhead in ages. Brookies I think are native even down into Georgia. If you ever get the chance to fish in the Great Smokey Mountains, take it. It's difficult fishing (thought I was gonna' break a hip trying to wade it), but it's beautiful country to be in -...

    Trout

    Brook trout are the natives, but we have Brown, Rainbow and Cut Throat. I've caught all except the Cut Throat. Nothing huge for me, but I heard of some pretty good size fish. - You can also run into most of your normal freshwater stuff like bass, catfish, etc. Tried fishing the Smokies in...

    Trout

    Been fly fishing since I was a kid. Dad and my brother and I fished around the AuSable River in Michigan, and now I fish a couple of the rivers in TN. Looks like a nice brown.

    Is this a rare silverline?

    None really. You can read about it HERE and a little write up I did HERE. When Silverline / Moorehead Plastics was struggling, they expanded through an investor to add a snowmobile line. But it didn't go too well. Arctic needed a facility for production expansion (IIRC) and so the partnership /...

    Thanks Joe: as soon as life slows down, I really need to just catch you for lunch or meet up for a boat ride. // Funny part is, after lookin' at the lineup ... I have no clue who most all of the bands are!

    Yup, Bonaroo is a music festival. Woodstock-esque, but I think I only recognize one act in the whole lineup. I've been out to it a couple of times way back in it's early days. Offhandedly worked with the guy who started it up, and got to go. It's MUCH bigger now.

    Boat App or locator for boat launches?

    At least on the lakes around Middle TN, Google Maps lists many of the boat ramps, and has quite a bit of detail on them.

    ^^^ Interstate 24 through Middle Tennessee for the next week :) Hope everyone is safe and has a good time. I haven't even looked at the lineup for this year.

    1988 HarborCraft?

    Harbor Craft is out of business. You can see a little about them HERE. Most likely they were a flash in the pan builder from the trailer boat days. Lots of boats like that one (Hurricane, Four Winns, Viking, etc.), so it wasn't hard to make a "me too" product. Welcome aboard.

    Mother's Day = that day when Dad takes the children and gives Mom a break from the everyday stress of her world. Father's Day = that day when Mom steps out of the way and let's Dad have a whole day with his children all to himself.

    Is this a rare silverline?

    ^^^ That's a good way to say it. Not the same as classic / rare cars at all.

    Is this a rare silverline?

    Look HERE. Good source on the history of Silverline. They were independent for a good number of years. Larson eventually bought the molds and held the brand for a while. I don't know that they're very rare. But they're not common. A good following, but nothing that will be very valuable. Nice...

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    AD that shade off the convertible top is cool. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

    how do you run an OMC TUFM-21C out of the water?

    Got pictures? Chrysler made a few stern drives (know little to nuthin' about 'em). Volvo, Chrysler and OMC would all have been white drives back then. The Chrysler engine would have to marry up to the OMC intermediate. So, if it's truly a Chrysler glued to a OMC, then you've got a frankenmotor...
