So my good friends new boat has arrived in Newport and he asked if I can lend a hand early tomorrow to launch and pudder around the harbor getting to know the vessel. Its a 2000 Wellcraft 23' closed bow w/ 454 injection. It was only $11K and one of our great RD friends here brought it out on his way from TX. So here we go.... I thought I'd throw a fresh thread up to document this journey over the summer. My friends around 40, married to great gal and they have 3 & 5 yr old kids. He's a teacher so lotsa time to play in summers so bought this dirt cheap boat, had a guy look it over in Tx and out she comes. I just gifted him a year memebership at SeaTow and told him it really was for me as much as him and his family. I don't really know how much time I'll be on it this summer but what the hell, anything for being on the water and I really enjoy any time I get with him.
Plus it'll give me a chance to actually post some boat content for a change rather than just type my bullshit stories on here. So buckle up fellas.... pics to come and throw any of your bullshit my way.... I can take it... as long as its done with LOVE!
I should add that he has ZERO salt experience and very little Colorado fresh experience so he's looking for some seat time training and how to operate around docks and cut swells, go to Catalina, etc....
