Exactly...you haven't lived until you get hauled into the little white room...and there's a German Shepard working over the inside of the truck you borrowed lol. That was a fun morning...


LOL - that sounds like like fun!

The closest thing for me was on the way down. Declaring the cash at US Customs. We hit the border about 11:00 pm. It all went well. Took about an hour. The part were I was escorted into the small room in the back, with a stainless steel table where 2 LARGE Border Guards with guns counted the money, while I watched. Felt like a scene out of a movie.

They are a very serious bunch of Dudes!

FYI - you need to declare the cash at both the Canadian and US Customs offices on the way down.

Yup - I don't mess with the feds. Long story - but - lets just say - it's not worth it.

Yup and have your finger prints taken with a retina scan. I am just waiting for next border crossing where some FBI summer student has flagged me for a partial match now for a liquor store robbery in Alabama in 2009. The life I live - I do nothing wrong!

Awesome stuff Tom - the boat is beastly. I see the photos on FB and it looks great. Enjoy!

Ya - It was really the boat I was interested in. Would have been happier with a Yammie - for sure. I'll run the Johnny for a bit and see how it works.

Perhaps I'll wake up from the bang on the head and find I'm back in Kansas?

LOL :lol:
