Or, Sometimes, Life Gets In The Way, Maybe Not What The Man Upstairs Wants For You. Either way, Put my boat project on Marketplace. Looks like I won't be needing it with Ms. Joyces condition. Maybe a blow-up pontoon for short excursions of a couple hrs. Be cheaper to get one of them than fix the project anyway. Another, better boat down the line.
Sorry Eric, I know you were looking forward to fixing it up.
So sorry Eric. Prayers for healing, and a brighter future. Things will get better, they have to. :pray
Stay strong Eric.
Praying for y’all

Sir, I know the disappointment punting on a dream project but I submit it is for the best. Hulls will get real cheap soon, My Ross Barnett boat will be replaced by the Champion I have mothballed and when I let the RB boat go it will be very cheap. I have caught north of 50K Crappie in it not counting the thousands of saltwater fish. The Black and Green boat build you know is a identical hull but I won't put that much effort into another. That's why the Sheeter is here, traded a couple of tiller outboards for it. It's solid, just need cosmetics not a cap pulled to fully rebuild. Fine you something short & wide out of Glass for the best overall comfort.Quote:

Forgetting not just recent things, but things she should be remembering from the distant past. Getting real scarry...Quote:

Thank you for the info Rojo. Everything is going to be around how momma, my better half aka Ms Joyce, progresses with this. I will keep all this in mind. One reason I got this boat was it is short and wide. 16' Tri-Hull Bass boat. wasn't over powered having that 65hp on the back. I don't need the speed facter at my age, besides my back is done with all the sudden jarring shocks. Too many miles in a big truck bouncing down the road with a tore up L-4 and L-5 discs. Just need enough to get on plane and ride comfortable, not so much speed.Quote:

Lean on God and let Him carry you all through.
Praying for Ms Joyce, you, and all your family. Just remember, even though we may not know what it is, God does have a plan for every one of us.
hope she gets well soon , a boat I wanted to buy forever got offered to me at a great price last week and although it almost killed me when he said someone else wanted it really bad too and I had first choice ....
I told him I wish it fit in my situation currently , but not so and off went my dream boat .....:banghead
feeling your pain my friend ,,,,,
Stay strong Eric! +Cross+

Prayers for you and Mrs. Joyce . I feel your pain as I have a mother in law who has dementia that lives with us , a son that has epileptic seizures and an Autistic grandson . My fishing has taken a back seat to the earlier days on this site . Arthritis has also begin to creep into the picture as well . I will say that crappie .com gives me an escape from tough days . I sold all my spider rigging , crank pulling , power trolling gear and now target red ear on near by state lakes . Things once taken for granted are a treat . Figured I would fish my golden years away but things changed in a hurry . I could by two new boats for what we spend on meds a month for some meds . I pray you adapt to the new normal and know that we all stand in need of prayer . Stay strong . +Cross+
We will be prayin' for your MIL, son, and all of you for sure.
