THE FAT LADY SINGS ABOUT THE DINGHY

Post by foofer b »

The project really ain't over till the fat lady sings. In this case she mounted the dinghy on the back of the boat.


It doesn't look too large does it?

Yes, yes it is, but I think you know that. If it works for you that's all that counts. We have all tryed to get the largest companion boat possible to bring with us on trips. Looks like you have achieved it. :wink: jimbo36

LOL! Thanks! An eight foot dinghy does not float normally sized people. It sure won't float me and the wife, she's a biggun!

The new paint on the dinghy looks good. What are the odds on some one buying three boats at different times and them all being from the same year?

Only problem that I see (surprised no one has mentioned it) is that the dinghy shines way more than the F 26 does! Get to work shining it up then everything will look excellant!! :lol: :lol: JK Looks like the perfect set up foofer :!: :!:

I wonder what kinds of comments you'd be getting on the water if you aded a boot stripe and a couple of Trojan emblems ?
