1978 Robalo "ANIMAL"----my first offshore boat

SOLD THE ANIMAL
MISS THE ANIMAL
I WANT MY ANIMAL BACK!

ACTUALLY THE GUY I SOLD IT TO IS RESTORING IT BACK TO MINT CONDITION. THATS THE ONLY REASON I SOLD IT

I BOUGHT A NEW OFFSHORE RIG 5 YEARS AGO AND THE ANIMAL WAS LOOKING ABUSED AFTER SITTING UNDER SOME PINE TREES FOR A LONG TIME----LONG DEPRESSING STORY

JUST THOUGHT I'D POST SOME PICS OF IT FOR FUN. THE BOAT RAN OUT OF GALVESTON FOR 25 YEARS PLUS-------LOTS OF MEMORIES

WENT ANND SPENT THE NIGHT ON THIS BOAT AT A 100 MILES OFFSHORE ABOUT A HALF A DOZEN TIMES

I WAS A LOT YOUNGER AND MORE DARRING BACK THEN------GREAT EXPERIENCE'S. GLAD TO BE HEAR TODAY AND ABLE TO SAY I MADE IT ON THOSE TRIPS-----------WONT EVER DO THEM AGAIN---AT LEAST NOT IN A 25 FOOT BOAT.

GREAT MEMORIES----OWNED IT FOR ABOUT 18 YEARS

MOVING ON........
