I don't think thats Morrison, I've never seen any signs at Morrison declaring it a no wake zone unfortunately.

I know I know.....I may want to look into some navigation classes. That damn pole came out of nowhere - you can see I had no room to steer around it!

Imagine??

Ha ha

Every time I see this thread in the list I remember your 'post' and chuckle. Thanks, Matt!

Here's my former boat. It was a Crestliner Eagle22. The most important thing I learned is that aluminum, electrical and mechanical shouldn't be put in salt water.

Ha ha ha - it cracks me up too - I don't remember where I found that picture.... I don't have a picture of it but earlier this week I noticed a 28' Sea Ray with a mangled bow. This was clearly a head on collision. I was looking at the windshield to see if there were any dents from the passengers.

I think you have a cool boat hope you get it in the water soon

I don't know if there's been a thread like this one before, but I'll give it a go. I'm amazed by the awsome boats some of you guys use for diving, or just for getting out to sea (away from the Mrs too perhaps?)

Anyway, we have a budget building project in our garden. Most likely there for another year, since we just bought our first home. The house needs some refitting too before we are happy with it.

Here it is:

It's a 23ft crab fishingboat from the UK, originally fitted with a V8 gas engine and a tiny doghouse. The hull is about 1" thick... It has now been rebuildt with a new house and a deep keel and refitted with an overhauled 45 HP GMC diesel. We've also made an opening in the rear for easy in and out + we are fitting a platform in the rear. Not the prettiest sight around but by golly how practical for diving! In Norway you never have to go far offshore for great dive spots and gas is about $6 a Gallon... (Boat diesel is only $3/Gallon).

We got an old Chevy Suburban 4x4 diesel just for towing it with us to go diving on the west coast of Norway...



Oh, the pics are not in our new garden! Here's our new garden:

Mercruiser engine with a 454 gm engine with a bravo 2 outdrive.Due to high fuel prices it hasnt seen the water since I pulled it out for the winter,this weekend though.Best handling boat I have ever owned but there is something about ease of operation on my smaller boats

Here's the new RIB I will be running for charters. She's 25feet and powered by twin 2006 yamaha 115 fourstrokes.
