its boat time!

grandma finally got her money a few years ago, and this is what we got with out part. THANKS GRANDMA!!! we waited 2 years till we found just the right boat (at the right price) and this was it. we dont know what to name it, so if you have any suggestions, i would love to hear them. its a 6 man outboard, totally haulable by our beetle. (there was a croud waiting to see if we could get it out of the water, and of course, NO PROBLEMS!) we live 5 minutes from the biggest lake in south carolina, so if anyone wants to visit, now is a good time.
disregard all the junk on the floor, we havent had a chance to clean up the inside. and i think i shrunck the biminy top in the wash, so its just hanging there right now :(

nathan had the camera for 2 seconds, and this is the photo he takes.
and youll notice that our beetle was the only non-SUV/truck there. that beetle is amaizing. no problems hauling the boat what-so-ever. thanks again grandma!

congratulations to owning a boat. and welcome to the world of things you don't expect to go wrong when you have a boat! I don't know what a "bimini" top is but if it's just the cover you only wash that out on the driveway with a soap bucket and cleaning brush.

I saw some funny names of boats in Florida this week. I don't remember some and won't repeat some...how about: Buoy Toy?
