we got an e-mail from the canadian economy and it said it wasn't feeling well, so we went and bought a new boat. I don't know if it made the economy feel any better, but it sure gave us that warm and fuzzy feeling. our boat is the same as the one in the pics but ours has a 60 horse instead of the 40. it's a four stroke, electronic fuel injection, so should be ok on gas. it will be ready for us by the middle of june. yeah I know I don't post often, but when I do, I bring it!
