I'll let the cat out of the bag tomorrow, if y'all promise to keep quiet.

Then I will be required to delete the post.

It is kinda personal . . .

"Riding With Searays" or "Rendevouis With Sea Rays" maybe both. Is this true ? you need to come clean . :x :x :x

no.

And the confidence I may be sharing with the forum is personal.

Disclosing it to others could possibly cause me personal and professional detriment. but it it is really important.

That's why I will have to delete the post from the forum or just edit it out soon.

I've been giving this much thought and keep coming around to the same person. My vote is for RWS. He's pretty consistent in providing the best information on the International express series of boats. We seem to be getting more and more folks asking about these. I didn't realize just how many are out there. We have a few up my way but they seem to be a lot more popular south of the boarder. He also contributes a wealth of historical information about the Trojan brand, and I think that's important knowledge and vital in keeping the brand's interest alive.

I wish him luck.

RWS is a good candidate as well. RWS does provide a lot of good info, but since I don't have an International, I typically skim through these posts quickly.

His transformation of Trojan to/from Bat-Boat is incredible:

Based on his End-Of-2011 disclosure, I'd like to know whatever became of CatWoman?

On the guide lines that you gave in the beginning I think Wes ought to be nominated for the longest trip this year to attend the rendevous in Rock Hall.

I do agree that sure makes Him a very good choice .

A short trip history . Left CT down to the Trojan rendezvous in rock hall Md then to the get together in Kinsale Va up to DC then to the get together in the Solomons Md. and back up to Ct. ( Long island sound )
6 grand in fuel ? 1000 miles or so . Not Bad for a old man .
