Some pics of bringing the F-32 home. The closing and the 100 mile ride home with 4 mile portage over land went without any trouble. Nancy and John were such nice people to deal with as sellers. Even the USCG pulled alongside for a visit on the way and they were a nice bunch of lads too.

Nice, very nice. That's some beautiful scenery. You're very lucky to have that in your backyard. She's looking great. Have fun.
She was a 1969 36 ft wooden beauty with big blue 440s that we'll miss forever.

Glad the trip went smoothly, Michael!

I can't believe that tiny truck pulled a 13,000 boat!

Gorgeous Lake George photos. From the wake, I can tell she's running well.

To the peanut gallery: you know a deal went well when there are hugs all around at the send-off. :)

It just occurred to me...you know what we forgot? We forgot to mount the flag at the transom. That might have made a difference on the CG boarding.
