He has a scout not a KW. And the 1 time he made me fish all over the big bend and wouldn't let me stop for gas, he towed me in with the Red Cross boat.

I'd hate to have to shoot you.

SR I'm down to my last nerve waiting on this boat. No fault of Bainbridge Marines, I just picked the worst time of the year to buy a boat. :x :lol:
