Wow. Real nice. My hull and topsides could really use a re-paint. I think I was quoted about $300/ foot for just the hull alone. How did you like the Imron?

You let him off easy Nancy, you are too nice....
Upon reading that, and after cleaning up the water that I spit all over my keyboard, I started typing a reply a few times but kept erasing as I figured better left to you.

Norseman, some humor is always appreciated and often needed around here but when it's a poor attempt or politically incorrect it goes against the "clean" place that this is and has always been.....The sole reason I continue to contribute here and have never been active on THT.
