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.
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.

It's beautiful. I wish I could have joined you. Cameron did great in his race though so it was exciting to be there.
It turned out well for both of us.
Congrats on winning the Poker Run. You were today's lead story on the Woody Boater.
Gambling? Fast boats? Women?
I leave you alone for a couple months... and then I read about it all in the headlines.
Way to go!
Thanks, all. Being old and handsome does have it's advantages. Hee Hee
I seem to meet all the good people, Michael, Chad and Ron and Wes Yandt. And their boat is another story, a great story.
