Good to hear that spring is on the way and may you have many more good years with your C26. As long as we puts forth the effort to care and feed the old girls they may even outlive their current owners. 8)

Me too!!! I've already put my request in. A hellava deal too, C20's much cheaper than any Viking ship.... or even caskets for that matter LMAO.

What a way to go! >>> http://youtu.be/LClTjcyNJSI

BTW, how well does fiberglass burn? C20's got enough interior space to throw in plenty of old newspapers to help out. If there's a good land breeze going out onto the Great Lakes, there shouldn't be too many floaties coming back into shore.

I want a boat that drinks 6, eats 4, and sleeps 2.

When I told the redhead she said "you can't do that, the EPA fines would be huge for burning a fiberglass boat in the Gulf"..I said no problem tell me to send me the bill, lol...

Yea, she's probably right though. The fiberglass hulls in Chryslers are pretty thick. There'd be a lot of black smoke and stink that'd go along with that memory, plus the wife wouldn't be too thrilled about a thrall woman being there to make sure I was happy in the afterlife :shock:

Last October there was some news about a thousand year old viking chieftain buried in his ship:

Hmmm. That's an idea too. My first boat as a kid was a Sunflower, another economical ship. Not as big a hole as needed for the C20. I'd have to check ahead and make sure there is enough room for my sword, axe and bronze drinking horn.

OK, I'll stop now..... please forgive. Oh yes, MI temps in the 50s today! I'll be bringing my boat home in a couple weeks to begin spring clean up and repairs. I promise to behave after that.
