What happened to the guy that started this thread, he has not replied since page 2

Just curious RPW what age group do you fall under within 10 years.

I read many of his articles over the years. He was very knowledgable.

RIP John Kerr  

Lakeside sewing in Bobcaygeon does fantastic work as well.

Chernobyl Perch or what?

One of his Google reviews says he is a liar and a cheat. Shocking that he would get a review like that.🤭

Who?

Bitter sweet Wayne, a great person and lots of fantastic memories, taken away far too soon. Nice that you can find great memories like this of Jennifer 

Best of luck to you Nick. I worked my way up through a small company and love it! If you can find the right one you can work there until retirement.

Very interesting, that s for sharing that Smitty.

You are pretty amazing Lew, I need at least 7 hours of sleep every night.

Nothing like a campfire, I will stay up until the wee hours to enjoy one. If I camp near Lew he can keep it going all night for me!

Wow Lew 3:00am! What time do you go to bed?

Wow what a scary story. You and your dog are very lucky to be alive.

I don't waste my time worrying about what people think. 

I agree with Garnet. Remember that an opinion is like an A**hole, everybody has one!

All of the younger generation like my daughter's in their 20s say that Facebook is now for the older generation like the hockey and soccer Mom's. I can't be bothered with it and suspended my account 8 years ago. Just stop reading it.

Great one Cliff! I will share that one with my Mother-In-Law!

I was thinking about the recent departure of Don Cherry and Mike Babcock and think they could start up a new show called Coachless Corner!

I mentioned in another post about boat brands to buy about just getting some of the rivets replaced on my Legend. I took it to Heritage Marine in London and was very satisfied with the results. They to full tear downs and rebuilding there.

You might want to consider this as an option.

I have a 2000 17' Legend with the riveted hull and "100 gauge" aluminum. I just dropped $5,000 on the boat having it gutted in order to replace 9 rivets. 5 were gone and another 4 were leaking. The 1/2" plywood floor was replaced as well with 1 1/2" thick laminated plywood and of course new carpeting. Lot's of labour to repair it. Two years into owning the boat from brand new I had it back to Legend to replace rivets in the same area of the hull. I decided to fix up the boat because we plan to use it for many more years. The quality of the cockpit was not very good on the boat as well. I've had to re-mount it with extra screws a few times now.

I can't speak for the quality of new boats welded or riveted, however, this was my experience. If I bought a new boat tomorrow it would be a Lund.

What a beauty Simon. Were you by yourself when you caught it? Getting a big fish like that off of the hook and lifting for a photo on your own can be nerve racking! 

Very touching Cliff.

Wow Wayne, you do such quality work! Very Nice restoration Bud ☝️

In Pig Latin it was a Northinicus, Pyticus!

Very sad, I wonder how many people buy a used cruiser from someone else and don't know the rules around using the blowers? The marina operators should also ensure that the blowers are running during and after the fueling process.
