New Boat 2015

It's official - on Monday May 4, Steve and I traveled to Mobile to meet Ken and make the transfer and purchase. Ken gets the old Cap'n Pappy & the Kids and is going to replace the engine and promises he'll have it running in a month or so. I hope he does because she's a good boat but more mechanical issues than I can handle.

In exchange and with some $$$, we acquired the "PDQ" - a 1984 Sea Ray 340 SF Sportfisher. SHe runs great and has been totally redone by Ken and his wife Terri. Amazingly, the boats are stern to stern in their slips at Grand Mariner Marina so the transfer of our stuff was easy.

We got everything stowed on board, have contacted Signs Now to get our name on the new boat - trying to decide between the same name (Cap'n Pappy & the Kids) or Cap'n Pappy II.

Here's pictures - one taken by Ken of the boat on the water and the other in her slip.
