Started a boat project this spring. A 1974 boat and motor that have not run in quite a few years so obviously it is not going to be fixed over night. A surprising part to me was that when the boat after a spay nine fix the old green finish come back to almost a new weathered look. My disappointing part of the whole project is there was never a picture taken of the boat when it was first brought home so there could be a comparison of before and after. The thought has passed that the project should have an official champagne bottle smashing date. Guess it is more a project of love than just a project to hurry up and finish. A project of this sort should have may been given a date of when it would be in the water, instead of possibly being finished when the lake is frozen! Oh well. My intentions were to have the boat in the water this summer, well you know how things go there is a lot of life that has to be taken care of, family, holidays, work and it is a project. A very good friend of mine passed away with cancer five years ago and his wife gave the boat as a remembrance, it has taken a few years to actually get started on refurbishing the boat. There are a lot of fond memories of laughter and happy times of Bob and myself and family fishing, wake boarding and all those other water sports. So if you see a boat on the lake with the name Bob on it you may know this boats history.
