His name is Dave Benz.
I have his phone number for you..
Is your email the same one you registered with a long time ago, and the one that is in the profile?

Great !! Glad it worked out :GoodJob:

Boy, Its been Way too long since I have been on Hwy 30 and just dinging around.
I have never made that loop or been in the Multnomah Channel. Have you ??
Its something I am hoping to do some time. Not sure of the speed limit and how far it from one end to the other. Looks like a full days run.:boater1:

Axtell is officially sold

Only two days to selling both the Axtell and the prior two days to sell the EZ loader. The Norse gods must be on my side since Marty assured the buyer it was a great boat and Joe helped him figure out the website. Assistance was greatly appreciated.

Dave plans to take the Axtell to the Sandy Ace outing in July on Hoods Canal.
