Well, since they have 2x 230 hp engines and a top speed of about 45 mph, skiing behind them should be possible :lol:

TGG!

I believe that is a self portrate of Craig, I mean from that angle and given the amount of hair, it certinley looks like him. I also believe that nice braclet on his right rear leg that his wife must have put on him would explaine this limited range of boatin destinations.

I think not! Mohawk purple is the perfect canoe color (just check out any rock I've tried to boof - much prettier now)!

Fuschia

Post by jim gross »

I had an old fuschia Encore as my first white water canoe. It pissed all the stalwart ex-military Colonels off. They were threated and asked numerous times, "Why didn't you get a red canoe?" I would answer them in my best lisp and a slightly bent wrist "Why, don't chew like my pink canoe?" You have to be a secure man to paddle a fuschia boat.
