RE: Well balanced boat

When we moored on LakeUnion we were expected to keep the Eagle in the same yacht condition as the Thea and Malibu.* We were on the Ocean Alexander dock where million dollar 50 to 100 foot boats were sold. People would walk right passed the Eagle gawk at the mega yachts.* *Foss Tug pulls her ever spring to retro fit/paint and has a full time crew to maintain her.* She is steel rivet which is a lost trade.* *Speaking of riveted, what happen to the young man that bought an old rivet boat on the east coast that was on PMM?* I forgot his name? ***
***
Thea used to be direct drive, which mean the engine had to be shut down, the cam switch over and restarted in reverse.* A couple of extra puff and there was a whole lot of excitement.* The end of the dock was reinforced for when she came in a little hard. They finally fitted her with a transmission and a bow thruster.*****
