Is the Binkster still lurking this site? If so please email me zotcha@Hargray.com. Thank you.

Jimh, I have first tried reaching him through his email here on the site.

I have not heard from Rich AKA Binkie in a while. He used to email frequently complaining that I must have banned him from the forum because he could not log-in. I 'd reply with his log-in credentials and he'd be back and active again.

I contacted Mike's email. Left my phone number. Hoping to hear from him soon. Thanks for the heads up, Phil.

BTW, my modified/restored 15' Whaler center console has been sitting on its trailer for over two years waiting for its first launch. I've been busy with other stuff and kind of lost interest. I run the engine on the hose about once a month, though. Hoping to get out fishing soon. I think I spend too much time League bowling. Gotta get back to Whalering. I sold my '61 custom 13 footer back in July '16 for big bucks, (7500). Kind of sad to see it go, its over on The Saint Johns River north of Orlando. The new owner lives on a houseboat.
Also my cat (Miss Binkie) is 19 1/2 years old and still going strong. I can't believe I'm going to be 80 next March. Is everyone else getting older too? No big health problems though. Been a member of CW since '03, although sometimes with different user names .(Binkie, Frisco Pete), come to mind. We were kind of like a big family back then, and had a lot of fun with a lot of really knowledgeable members.

Hi Rich--congratulations on being close to 80-years-old. I am just a youngster--just hit 67. I was just a kid when I started this website back in 1994, only 44-years-old. That was 23-years ago. It has been lots of fun for 23 years, and still is.

Rich, take that 15 for a ride! Glad to hear you are doing well and enjoying life.

Jim, I'm glad you started this site, it's lead to many friendships, some great Rendezvous and the exchange of a lot of knowledge.

To all who knew "Binkster", I just posted this about my dad's passing last Friday... :(
