Thanks Jim. Yup, "If Only" but hey....I can't live like that--looking back constantly with the coulda, shoulda, woulda. I just hope my motor was & is still in good hands and making somebody very happy! Thanks again for the site. Bob

I wish I had more to add, but really don't recall any more specifics--actually I really don't believe I've forgotten any--it was just too shallow a conversation back then, centered on the eventual value over what we had sold the whole boat for. That said, now I really wish I'd dug more into it...

Hmmmm, maybe it's me, but I don't see where to click for the link....??? Bob

I'll tell you......Old Joe Skinner was a true wheeler dealer--he owned a junk yard or two, ran for several political offices (that ought to tell you something in and of itself!) and just came off as, well, someone who would do just what you are describing. As I said in another posting above...

Ok.....here goes......I'll start with a couple of points during the disassembly of the boat when we first got it. We towed it to my partner's home (we were all cops and all worked in the same unit at the Tucson PD) Herb had the biggest garage and so the work was done there. One of the first...

Ok....you win....but I'll do it under the Z-11 thread if that's ok.....someone there asked as well. Thanks for the Welcome!

Thanks! Glad to join up with a class group of folks!

Hi, Just joined and posted this on the introduce yourself site.....then saw this thread....here's what I posted there: Hi all, Just found the site...nice. Found it while looking around for some confirming info on an engine I once owned and as I was telling a co-worker about the story. Short...

Hi all, Just found the site...nice. Found it while looking around for some confirming info on an engine I once owned and as I was telling a co-worker about the story. Short tale....bought a '63 Rayson Craft flat bottom in mid-70's with 4 other guys and we were told, and believed the motor...
