You know, remember how lucky we ALL are to be able to enjoy good times with family and friends on beautiful boats like we all own, when others around us are not as fortunate.
Today, I was actually feeling a embarrassed filling the boat up at a gas station..

George.

Well said. You worked hard for that boat Tuscany, don't be too sheepish - Be proud!

Dang Skippy Liquid! Tusc show'em whachewgot!

If I had a new boat like that here's how II would walk around that bad boy...

Freaking awesome.

I'm a guy who has to be careful.
I have about 45 employees, in a retail business in a small town.
Unfortunately. I have to kinda keep things out of sight.

But trust me, I'm all about struttin' when I'm out of town!

Lmao

Small town bull crap...
Unfortunately, that's what we have to do.
I look at it this way, it's a small price to pay for the life we live.
People are not generally happy for others, especially if they work for you, or spend hard earned money buy products from you everyday.
My wife is even worse than me about appearances.

I understand Tusc. Its too bad that people think that way, but its there. I think a lot has to do with folks mindset.

Here in the Land of Opportunity, where your past doesn't define you, but your future does, success has been vilified for some reason. It's small and very subtle, but it's there.

Example: think of pretty much any movie where the hero is a poor guy or a normal Joe and the villain is a rich psychopath bent on destroying the world, from Spiderman to James Bond. Or everyone and their dog that has an opinion on why they "deserve" this or that. I hate that word. I don't believe anyone "deserves" squat. They need to earn it. That includes respect, income, opportunity, and new Cobalt Boats! Just my .02...

Couldn't agree more.

I'm one of those people that genuinely root for other people's success and happiness. It's a tough lesson when you realize people, even those close around you generally hope the opposite. Envy is a nasty thing.

Can't believe I haven't posted here yet, but here's our rig from earlier this month:

Nice! How many time you been out this season John?

A few - not as many as we had hoped. Jobs got busy, and we need a more convenient way of storing and getting the boat than we currently have. Hopefully in the next couple years...

Clearly a waterfront house is the only feasible solution...

Or I'll store it for you it might get a few extra hours on it here and there? Hope it gets better for you soon John

Such a generous group here

Hooked up and ready to take the new boat to Alum Creek today. Armada pulled the 220s through the Appalachian mountains yesterday like a champ after picking up in Norfolk VA. Best part of the drive was seeing the USS Gerald Ford carrier in the distance which is going out for its first deployment soon. Wish I had a pic of that to share
