Never build a boat, story of the Ho-Hum

[Jared0425]

Next time I catch you coming back in, you should come out for a ride. I don't think you will convince Dave to buy one, but you can see what it does.

Dave is open to modifying the Obsession. Currently doing research on that stationary thruster thing that Dusty Kilfman has. I think we have the power to run the seakeeper, but weight and space may be a problem. Right now the focus is getting the ROV skill down and mooring over targets without the boat swinging.

That is just an iPilot. Two of the largest ones would hold the Obsession in place. One would hold it still, would need a second to keep it from pivoting around it.

A gps trolling engine at the front so you don't have to haul anchor and a seakeaper make just about any boat into a luxury yacht, I'm jealous.

How are you spending your saturday?
Yours will definitely be better than mine.
Just what every captain wants to be doing in the middle of their season.

Looks expensive, not to mention lost time

This boat has quite the history amd really should be referred to as the SUTTON SPECIAL. As the self proclaimed master of all things tried to "broker" the deal between the marinea that it had been abandoned at and some unsuspecting potential buyer.

The funny thing is the marina and legal owner of the vessel had no idea of who this broker was and had no dealings with him despite what was claimed on the Marinett facbook page.

Any way Tracy was able to find the boat using Google earth and eventually make a deal to aquire the ho-hum better know as the sutton special.

Halfway done.

I just wanna lick one and smell it!

It smells like engine. The old ones smelled way better. I will miss the smell of two strokes in the morning.
