Long time readers may recall what I 'got' for Mother's Day 2008--a boat.(ETA: I should clarify that the boat wasn't actually my Mother's Day gift--Mr. H is much better than that--he just happened to buy the boat Mother's Day weekend so I tease him. Anyway). Actually, a very specific boat, a 1960-something Beisemeyer (sp?) v-drive that Mr. H had been looking for since he was about 16. Now, more than a year (and many, many dollars) later the boat has new fiberglass, new paint, new dials, new seats, new gas tanks and a new name. I know, it looks VERY similar but trust me. It's VERY different now. For one thing, it used to be named Flat Broke.

Would you like another view?
For the record, it's hard to get good photos from another (moving) boat. Plus it was a super windy and rough day. But here's another shot:
How about a video so you can hear that (crazy loud) v-drive plus the commentary of everyone on the other boat?

hahaha...that is great.
One year I got a bowling ball...a real nice one...I don't bowl.
