I'm Worried Sick

Skeeter185,

Thanks very much. That's very, very kind. I have a backup...it is just a little dirty and rough, but functions fine. It just frustrates me that two different guys 15 miles away tell me they saw it, and by the time I get back.....it's gone! But, it's my fault.

Gonna get out the vinyl cleaner, and be back to the old seat looking a little more presentable!

Wow....new cell phone down the toilet and it actually flushed?! Amazing!

Sorry about your seat. A good tip is one of those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. Works wonders on seats and also any of those tuff to clean scuffs on the boat.

Took my new boat out for the maiden voyage 5 years ago, mind you my first boat I ever owned, and Bass Pro does not do a very good job in teaching when you pick it up. My wife had stored her purse in the back bait livewell (see where this is going) and I am flipping switches seeing what, how, and if things work. My front livewell will not fill up at all, I hear the pump running but no water coming in. Little did I know that the valve that lets the water in was turned off but the back bait livewell fills up nicely. Did you know that not only does a womans purse NOT FLOAT, but all contents inside which include cell phone, wallet, checkbook, pictures, pictures, pictures, pictures, did I mention pictures, makeup, pictures, pictures, did I mention pictures, and everything else a woman carries around in her purse, IS NOT WATERPROOF. Not to mention it takes up a lot of floor space in the living room after you get home to attempt to dry out these items. It was a win win situation, I got to find out which switch turns on the bait livewell plus how to turn off the valves as to not do this again, and she got a new purse, cell phone, wallet, all new makeup, and no telling what else we had to buy to replace. The guy at the Bass Pro did say the day I picked up my boat "one of the 2 happiest days in a mans life, the day he buys his boat and the day he sells his boat, for all the time in the middle is just sinking money into the dead sea" Not a more true statement made, and my sinking started on the maiden voyage and has yet to slow down.

That was great. I had a lifejacket blow out while sitting fishing at T-ville last year, no big deal right? 30 mph winds that can be expected well, I had left the kill switch hooked to it when I took the jacket off and it took it too. trolled down the lake to get the jacket, didn't think nothing about the kill switch then wondered for about 5 minutes why the boat wouldn't start. My old man thought it was the greatest thing he had ever seen.
