Location: Medford, WI | Jon....you just let me know when you're ready to get rid of that...by the time that happens, the ol' Tuffy might need to be turned into a rower only. Thanks for the help with getting that boat...really appreciate it.
The boat looks great! Can't wait to get in there again with you.
