guess who changed my lower unit oil last week...

[mixermarkb]

none other than Dave Shlick!

he is now working at Theodosia Marnia boat sales and service, on Bull Shoals lake in southern Mo!

Nice guy, we chating a little while about the design of my 203 and the 202 I used to own, and when the weather gets a little better, we are gonna play with setup on my 203 and maybe try out a couple of Fury props-


so, guys, he isn't working for a boat company, tho he did mention his wife works for bass cat!


can't wait to get a driving lesson or 3,


and Pat, he said to tell ya hello!

That is cool

[pmgoffjr]

That's great to hear he's doing ok. Be sure and tell him "howdy" from me when you run into him again. Class guy. (he hides it well though)

[Lea]

Get him here on BBC!!!!!!

[JohnM]

[Royjulius]

Tell him one of his hulls is in South Dakota and it still corners on rails!!!

[Gunnar]

Very interesting and nice to hear Ask him to join us here on occasion...

[pmgoffjr]

Somehow...I don't see Dave having the patience to sit in front of a monitor very long.

A hundred comments came to mind....

[pmgoffjr]

His patience for ignorance is legendary short.

Erg, farking idiot, get outta my face. I can just see him suffering a lemming.

[mixermarkb]

I mentioned the net, he kinda chuckled-

I will ask him again, but I highly doubt he is interested in bass boat forums :(


seemed cool, but "gruff" is an apt description!

LOL...too bad. He would be a great addition to our forum!!! Even if only once in awhile! He and Pat...what a fount of knowledge about our older rigs!!!

[pmgoffjr]

Compared to Dave, or Kelly Powers, or Bill Pace, I'd be "dopey" in that crowd.

[Tx Champ]

Now, that would be hard to picture ...

I seriously doubt that!!!!

[pmgoffjr]

Errr, dopey would be a compliment...

Watch Dave or Bill take a prototype plug, run it, take it in and know exactly where to grind down, add bondo here, change an angle there, and make it work. There was so incredibly amount of time involved in building a hull that did what they did, amazing.

Those boats didn't just appear, they were the result of thousands of hours of tweaking by true masters of the craft. You can tell the difference between a hull that was "finished" and one that was "close". Most boat companies built close, but not finished.
