I think they may also have the sail
I thought about the sail kit easy enough to add on as far as the dock it's going to get rebuilt it's fixed in place not floating and the wakeboats definitely make it a problem with anything tied up the skiff has been sold and replaced with a pontoon boat another reason to change the dock configuration maybe add whips not sure yet should start demo soon last summers pic ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240510/e7a0e4a1bed1811e72476d9747d66e87.jpg)

Crazy sharp. Very well balanced , easy to hold and use.
Chicken fillets , no probs. , celery , cut like butter . Radish , top and tails stayed on the blade can only guess due to the dimples not going down enough. Pear and apple a breeze. Can see how grapes on the vid. are easily slithered ![Wink](images/smilies/wink.png)
Never been too keen on wooden handles for kitchen use , which is why searched and found the handle wax , not used yet though , we'll see.

The Pontoon boat did not work for me. The slip in my boat house and the cradle lift made it hard to get the boat in the slip with just a little wind. . I was talked into getting a 22-footer, which at 22' and 9.6" is a 23' in my book. One thing else I noticed on newer pontoon boats is the seat cushions extend over the top rail. When you put up or fold down the bimini tops, they rub on the seat cushion. I see those rubbing a hole in them in a year or two. Even higher-end pontoon boats like the Bentleys and the Avalons have this issue. If you go to the various towns here that have chain lakes you can't get through tunnels with a tower or the bimini up. Everything needs to be down flat. The cradle lift in dry season was right on the edge of being able to get on or off. I prefer a bowrider.
Cheers,
Michael
Tell everyone you saw it on IWL!

There's a car builder building a pontoon boat here - fun if you like that sort of thing. https://youtu.be/iGE2QcTS6F8

Why? I don't know, I guess I fell for the uniqueness and color, and, I was sober!

@wschofield3 Perhaps you are offering evidence of the dire risks of watch shopping while sober.
Too many watches, not enough wrists.
