Yeah boats are expensive. I'm a Honda marine OEM. I get better pricing than dealers. I pay close to $20K for a single 250. I should be able to get close to $100K for my CC. Would just have to add $100-$150 to it. I'd really like to get the gen 2. It has that side door and supposedly a little better hull design. They go for a little more though.

It checks a lot of boxes for me. The big thing is it's large but still trailerable. I don't want to be paying for the crazy slip rentals in South Florida. I believe I could cruise 2-3 months in the Bahamas on one of those.

So have a raffle for VN. $100.00 per ticket. Raise the money to buy that boat. Every other time you go out, you draw a ticket and that person and a guest get to go with you. Could be fun, could be scary, could be terrifying… Fun= @Ulysees E. McGill
Scary= @Jackcrevol because you would have to grab his guest from Cuba
Terrifying = @Weezer ; he would shed like crazy, you couldn’t get the hair off the boat. Could possibly foul the engines and you are now adrift trying to decide if Yeti is edible or if he will try to dine on you first. Don’t even think about what his guest might be.

😂
On second thought, maybe just keep dreaming about the boat. That’s a safer future.

Should stop pretending that the best aren’t already being paid top dollar elsewhere.

What would be the pull for the best to come here? If they’re the best, they’re already King/Queen at their current program and have zero incentive to leave.

You want the next best. And then give them all the resources to succeed.

April 7, 1970


John Wayne won his first, and only, Oscar for his role in True Grit.


"Wayne appeared in some 150 movies over the course of his long and storied career. He established his tough, rugged, uniquely American screen persona most vividly in the many acclaimed films he made for the directors John Ford and Howard Hawks from the late 1940s into the early 1960s. He earned his first Oscar nomination, in the Best Actor category, for Sands of Iwo Jima (1949). The Alamo (1960), which Wayne produced, directed and starred in, earned a Best Picture nomination.

Wayne’s Oscar for True Grit at the 42nd annual Academy Awards in 1970 was generally considered to be a largely sentimental win, and a long-overdue reward for one of Hollywood’s most enduring performers. The Academy had failed to even nominate Wayne for any of his most celebrated performances, in films such as Stagecoach (1939), Red River (1948), The Quiet Man (1952), The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) and especially Ford’s The Searchers (1956), considered by many to be the greatest Western ever made. In True Grit, Wayne played a drunken, foul-tempered but endearing U.S. marshal named Rooster Cogburn, who becomes an unlikely hero when he helps a young girl avenge the murder of her father. He would reprise the role in the film’s sequel, Rooster Cogburn (1975), opposite Katharine Hepburn."



Wayne was my grandfathers favorite actor, and his idol. He collected all but 4 of his movies and has over 120 "lobby cards" from his movies as well. He sent letters to all of the living co-stars of Wayne's movies and asked them to send autographed photos for a scrapbook. In total, he got back over 300...............including Frank Sinatra, Maureen O'Hara, Jimmy Stewart, Shirley Temple, Dean Martin, and Katharine Hepburn. Wayne's son came to visit my grandfather to see his collection. Upon his passing, my grandfather gave his collection to me.

RIP John Wayne........

UNCONN is the better team by miles but don’t matter if they send Purdue to the line every possession lol

UConn plays very discliplined defense. Wouldn't say it's a major worry. They foul exactly as many times per game as NC St and they did really well to not get into foul trouble.

Don't see them needing to go hack a shaq or even digging and swiping much with Clingan down low.
