Well Capt Tim, Clifford, and myself Jimmy the Knife left cape may Thursday morning with the new Fountain 38TE. First off I broke the power trim pump on one of the new verado motors. we traveled 7 hours south in the rain and fog. So we fell off the map in virginia. No Cell Phone Signal!!!! so we pull into a motel in the rain and fog with no light Around the motel and i hit a truck with the new 38TE and put several 20' scratches down the side of the boat and bent the fender on the trailer. So finally we get the boat to the water for the first time on friday It ran great. we moved from the motel that I would not refer to my worst freinds. The new hotel was nice. Their is a difference Motel - Hotel. So we fished saturday off of Virginia beach In some heavy winds and seas we caught a few fish nothing big to weigh in. so we went to the fountain team party which was the highlight of the trip I didnt break anything. Then sunday came and we broke the VHF ant off the top of the tee top. At this point we quit. The new boat is going back to the factory for repairs and we headed home. To finish the trip we drove like man men to catch the ferry at 4 oclock but it was full so we had time to reflect on are trip south. Team Ugly Mug

Jimmy the Knife!
Sorry to hear about the mishaps down there! No wonder why Timmy was very short on the phone when I called him.
BTW, we have a booth at the sport show in FT Washington. Either Timmy or you are going to have to call Mary Kennedy to give her all the info. Call me!
