I own an old boat (1947 Garwood mahogany planked all wood inboard engine), thus I am the OLDBOAT guy. And I am old, (white hair on face) and that makes me the OLD boatguy.
This is a story of a Restoration
I restored this boat from April 2006 to October 2008. You will need to go to the very bottom, October 2008, to find the biginning. See blog archive on the right side.

Christening the boat.
Even before the boat was finished, my daughter Peggy wanted to do an official christening of the boat. We didn't get a chance to have her with the boat until September the 26th. I took the boat to Logan, UT, to Hyrum Lake and there we did the honors.
Hi Crash. "Beat" is the action word here. It took 5 strikes on a steel pipe to break that bottle. By then it was fizzed up real good, and it exploded all over me. And cut my finger.
I've been reading your posts, but I don't believe a word of them! Hee Hee
I'm from Idaho, born and raised on a farm. I spent 2 years in the Army during the cold war, and 5 years in Salt Lake City. The rest of my life has been in Idaho. I have 6 children, 21 grand children and 26 great-grand children, scattered in California, Texas, Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Arizona. I am the youngest of seven with only two of us left. I have strong family ties and I am a religious person with strong moral ethics. Like L'll Abner says, "I got scruples."
I have been an airplane pilot for fifty years, owned 1 plane and worked as a corporate pilot for 10 years. I have owned 6 boats, 22 cars and several dogs and cats. I was married to one beautiful lady for 42 years, 2 months and 5 days. Her generous heart got tired and she went to a better place in September of 2007. But this is not about sympathy. I am a happy person, never bored with several hobbies. I am also a computer adventure game addict.

Nothing beats a good christening!

Arlon, I just found the link to your blog from Don D's forum. Sorry it took me so long. Glad to see you or Peg didn't lose an eye.
Perhaps I'll swing on by on my way to Tahoe. I dream of making that road trip some day.
Congrats on all the awards!
