Private boat show
Getting a few transients staying here for the night as they make their way
south. A guy just pulled into the slip beside me in a brandy-new Hinckley
Picnic Boat. The proud owner took delivery of it today in Boston and is on
his way to Florida. As he backed in I was on the finger pier to take a
line, but it soon became obvious he had it well under control. The vectored
thrust from the jet drive is really cool.What a beautifully finished boat. Then, three boats down from me sits a Dettling 51. Another absolutely
beautifully finished boat. If I ever got the itch to upgrade Eisboch |

| I went out for a day cruise a few years ago, on Lake Cumberland (KY) in a
Hinckley...must have been about a 35 footer. What a VERY NICE boat. The cabin was light, airy, and very roomy. Just the
opposite of most cabins of that sized boats. Workmanship and finish were top-notch, and the boat was a joy to pilot. If I'm ever in the market for a day-cruiser or picnic boat, you can bet a
Hinckley will be on the sort list. |

| He's a brave guy to be making that trip during the tail end of
hurricane season.

| The 35' is the picnic boat. Not too many boats that big with a diesel
that can draft only 18".
Their interior woodwork finish work is awesome.

| Actually, many people take their time until November 1st due to insurance
reasons. My policy covers the boat in waters south of New Jersey only after
November 1. Eisboch |
