Climate change has changed Sodus Point

Sometimes ignorant but dominant individuals willfully ignore the warning signs about maximum weight limits on the boat and other inconvenient messages because those things take away from what they perceive to be a great outing. I was seen as a spoiler of fun by grandma ( mother in law) because I would not allow my kids on her overloaded pontoon boat. About one hour later her pontoon capsized because a speedboat wake hit them. Luckily nobody was hurt, but grandma was in no mood to apologize.

There is an interesting story there. About thirty years ago in another country where I used to live everybody bought dollars on the black market to beat inflation. These dollars were not kept in the bank but in hiding places in the house. A friend of mine took care of the house of an elderly couple while they were on a trip abroad. He swung by the house every few days to check up on it. Their freezer broke down and pretty soon the meat inside started smelling My friend came to check on the house and picked up on the smell. He decided to clean out the freezer so things would not get worse.. He threw out maybe thirty defrosted chickens and cleaned up everything. It turned out that the elderly couple had hidden their dollar stack inside the frozen chickens inside the freezer. He had thrown $120000 in the garbage.

Yes, but you have a Boston Whaler and those boats are just about unique

If you have 20 to 30 loose rivets, you probably should take the floor and the tank out and replace all those rivets with solid rivets and use some sort of epoxy sealing when you drive them in. 20 to 30 leaky rivets are very exceptional. I am thinking that this many loose rivets may well have been caused by towing long distance with that unsupported bracket hanging on the back of the structure. Heaven knows what else has been shaking loose in there. You should really find a way to support that bracket. Maybe using a longer trailer.

would you be interested in just selling the rocket launcher setup?

I use Lysol advanced power clinging gell, which is a great disinfectant. It is for toilet bowls, I know, but when used, it can be spread over the vinyl and other bad spots. I let it sit for a few minutes and then use a large brush. After brushing, all the stubborn dirty spots are gone and the floor looks like new again. I never do this when the boat is in the water.

I'll take the weighted steel if the other deal falls through.
