Steve,
You are correct sir!. I will say hello for you.
I drive by that red topper everyday and I can't believe I never stopped to ask them if they know the builder. I really like the lines of that boat. I never see the owner by the boat but then again I'm not staking out the boat everyday.(pun intended)
Stake Out is a T. Jason 25 built in 1988
Man i spent a lot of time there when there was a breakfast/lunch joint next to the dive shop(that was back in the early 80's). Is the dive shop still there? Scotty and her boyfriend Ed were into diving so maybe that boat is a dive boat ? guys in the shop would know. I tied up my boat in back of Klein's fish market back then. I owned a dock on the north channel just north of Bry's ramp back then, i think the guy has a tiki bar on it now.
Dive shop is still there. Klein's is still there.
Haven's and Hampton's has been closed for a few years now, the old man passed away.
They are supposed to renovate all of those docks where you used to tie up. The bait and tackle shop that was there is gone also. it's now a liquor store that is attached to Sunsets which is the restaurant/tiki bar you mention...
