    That’s funny @LaRea
    This G500 is pretty much upgraded to the max. But we do have some new aircraft on order 😎.

    @oscar1 what brand of class A did you get?  We have a Monaco Diplomat.  It's a bit older, but it's in immaculate condition.  It's put away until March, but we've got a trip planned for Spring Break!  B)

    70 Yamaha on the 15’ Whaler was new in 2023. Definitely getting a decent amount of use so far, especially considering there are 2 15 Whaler’s in the fleet

    Wow - do you fish a lot?  That's serious miles for a 15' boat.

    Whalers are mostly letting the kids roam free, water sports, and used as tenders. Some fishing by them, but the Grady is usually the fishing boat

    And now the pix that will make you cringe:  in Lake Saint Clair, the planet Earth jumped out and struck my props, destroying both of them beyond repair.  The boat is out of the water until my new props arrive, hopefully by next weekend.  Don't ask me to describe what happened ... the memory is too painful!   :D




    You might remember these hideous photos from September when I wrecked my props on a shoal near Detroit.  Today I got some great news from Henry H. Smith Company, the prop shop where we dropped off the broken remains.  One prop is finished, and he actually thinks he can save the other one!  Fingers crossed.  If he succeeds, he's a true master of his craft.  

    Can't store them aboard the boat, so I'll ship them to Virginia as spares for the next time the Planet Earth attacks my boat.  

    The replacement props from GLS have been an unbelievable good-luck story.  They are 1" smaller in diameter and 1" larger in pitch, because that's all we could find off-the-shelf.  The performance is identical in every way ... low speed, high speed, fuel economy, all the same.
