I think it was an old joke from like 20 years ago. Why I remember it is beyond me though. I have some Lesbian friends who say that "GMC" stands for "Give Me Coochie" because so many lesbians drive them LOL.

Well ….clears are not as cheap as I thought and being that if looked after with UV protection and Silicone spray for well lubricated zippers which we all appreciate it’s not something replaced regularly thankfully . So now I present to you what $2450 worth of clears looks like on a fibreglass hulls apron .
They certainly are clear . I’ll give em that 👍🏼

Well, my buddy and I were building a Cris-craft? until his gf ended up pregnant 🤷♂️Daughter is at a big name school 2450 is well, a drop in the ocean.A hole in the water you throw money into...
(Looks lovely though
The hull with most of the mechanical and trailer went away after about 15 years. IIRC Dude paid something like 2450 and only needed a long shaft outboard which he had.
Edit - if only his zipper got stuck...

It hit the age where everything pretty well needed fixing around the same time . Fibreglass work , Outboard fully overhauled , Apron replaced , Steering pump / ram new seals , dual batteries ,navigation equipment updated , I still have the safety gear ( flares , life jackets etc ) out of date to replace so the cash vortex is still sucking hard .
On the upside it’ll be like brand new which gives great piece of mind when I do 40 - 50 mile runs down the coast to open water .

BOAT
Break Out Another Thousand.
I have two, not including a canoe so..........
"I still have the safety gear ( flares , life jackets etc ) out of date to replace so the cash vortex is still sucking hard."
Huge fines if any past date safety gear, as in flares, flare gun, fire extinguishers, flotation devices in good shape, and above
deck when out on the water. All kinds of big fines for those. I always make a preemptive strike when launching out on Lake
Michigan. When I launch at a port that has a Coast Guard station. (Grand Haven, Ludington, etc) I pull in and ask them to do
an inspection with the a fore knowledge that I will pass. Once the inspection is done, they give me the report which I keep in the glove box
of the boat if I should get pulled for a "safety inspection", I can show the sheriff or coast guard the dated report performed by the
coast guard.
It has only worked once for me coming back into port at Ludington. I was pulled over under the guise of making a wake in a no
wake zone where the safety inspecton ensued. It's just a scam to get money from boaters. They never give a ticket for violation
of the "No Wake" rule because even when idling at the slowest one can go with their boat, there is always a ripple behind the boat.
Is a ripple a wake? I don't think so which is why they go for the other things for which they can give tickets. Anyway, I showed the Sheriff patrol
officer that report. He glanced it over and told me he wished everyone as safety conscious when going
out on the Great Lakes as I. After a five minute talk with him, I was on my way without a ticket.

Hehehe it’s a boat which means your displacing water so yeah your gonna make waves .
You know I often think not many small craft accidents the boat sinks in a controlled manner upright and you have time to get your plan in order . Usually a lap flips the boat or In the event of a collision your gonna be that messed up you won’t even know your teeth relocated to the dashboard.
But yes there’s a chance it may save your bacon one day .
If o ever go overboard I hope I die quickly or be rescued quickly otherwise I reckon shock will kill me with every shadow that I think I’m seeing .
We have a large shark reported in the bay at the moment and I’m walking my dog today along the shore and these two guys are out maybe 100 feet off shore spear fishing .
Do I tell them ?
Do I wanna spoil there summers day .
Maybe like surfers they don’t really care enough to be concerned .
I was also thinking I just wanna get out of here because if I witnessed an attack it would mess with me for life .

I like your Bear 🐻 jokes better .LOL you caught crabs
I’m pretty sure I’d rather have the lice version around my groin that these fuckers .
They’re angry little bastards and if your beach fishing walking into the water they’ll readily take aim at your toes .
Blue crabs although slower will even walk from a metre or two away just to find out if that caveman foot is viable as a food source .
I’ve shuffled away from them on many occasions mumbling expletives .
If you were watching from the shore it would probably look hilarious .
