Color Her Blue

Fran wants to keep the basic color scheme blue and white, but a darker blue than the baby blue she's got now. We are looking at every blue car, boat and baby buggy that goes by, but nothing has been just right so far. About the closest she's come is a boat Marty was selling recently. Check out this color:




And actually, she says now, this isn't really dark enough. Stay tuned.

Selling the Merc

A local friend of ours contacted us a few days ago after he noticed we'd gotten the new engine. He was interested in checking out the Merc for a 17-footer he's working on. So yesterday he stopped by the house and gave it the once-over. I called Marty Loken this morning for his advice on price, and phoned Clint for an ok. Looks like we have a deal. I'll drive the boat over to his shop tomorrow and he and a friend of his will remove motor, controls and tilt/trim pump. I'll post some pictures after the big event.

So, we'll have a little easier time on Wednesday when we head over to Nordland to have the new motor mounted at Marty's shop.
