I realize that the timing is crazy but here it is the end of October and we bought a boat. Thoughts of the boat will have to keep us warm until spring. We're taking suggestions for the boat's name. Names that are contenders so far are "Emergency Vroom" , "Irish Buoy" and "Yellow Fever". Send us an e-mail with your suggestions.

Julie and I took the boat out for a trial run. On this day the 5.7L V-8 was putting out 300HP and pushing us around the lake at top speeds of 54MPH. Not bad!!!!!!
