Nice pics of your family outing Tim, big smiles all around.
It sure is spacious in your boat, especially with the bow lounge, great for lots of friends and family. Good reward for your work! Cheers Richard |

Did a quicky restoration of my 40+ year old water skis I learned to ski on back in the day. My 5 year old grandson is starting to get the hang of it. Boat was in the water for 7 days on our trip to a rented lake house in Indiana a couple weeks ago and it performed flawlessly without even a drop of water in the bilge. The swim platform was a big hit with every one and was used often.
B4  During  A few decals and now they look like "grandpa's" slalom ski    The boat (me) got tired quick  Wife and granddaughter making use of the new swim platform at the sandbar

Finally got around to adding a foam pad to the swim deck.... I really like it as I had slipped and fell a couple of times on the slippery "Starboard" plastic material last summer. Bought the pad last summer on Ebay... It went on nicely and seems to be well adhered. It has great traction.
Will be at Lake James in a rented house again for family vacation next week... Boat needs to be buffed and waxed again....ugh

That swim platform is great. Time on the lake is so relaxing.

Boat performed well again last week at Lake James for our family vacation. New foam fake teak pad on the swim platform was a welcome feature. Spent 7 days there at a rented house with dock space for both my Larson and daughter's "new" used Glastron. Bought a swim mat for the grandkids and they really enjoyed it at the sandbar every day. Only issue was that my wife hit something and broke my prop one day. Luckily I had a spare with me so no big deal changing it out at the sandbar.

Well they aren't really underwear anymore, mostly just the elastic bands with some material hanging down. Kinda like hula skirts. But they're still good ....... uh oh TMI, never mind. Nice boat. PS that's cool how yer toupee stays on in the water, I'd never have the guts to try that.

Tim, if you ever want to sell any of your toys, tools, vehicles, etc., just let us know. A used boat from Tim Hancock is like buying a new one, only it'd be cheaper and higher quality. We tip our collective hat, Sir.
