Sorry I did not check back until today. I was at the show on Friday. I was really impressed this year that there was almost a nice display of Evinrude Engines there. I was really impressed with the new E-Tec 115. Whne it comes time to repower my Newport, I believe that 115 will be the answer for me. As well the Suzuki booth was really nice. Kind of disappoinyed that I did not see the new 15 foot Montauk there, was hoping that one may have been there. Did you by chance see the stealth boat with the twin 275 Verado's there. I was impressed that boat must have jumped to plane in a hurry. I was talking to one of the Mercury Dealers and they had it in the Harbour before the show. In talking to the control center for the harbour they joked that they could have the full run of the harbour as they could not be seen on Radar and there was nothing around here to catch them.... My father came with me and he purchased some new floating dock from Martitme Docks this year. It will be really nice to have some new docks at the cottage. Sorry I missed you.
