Skagit Slayer:

Not sure I really understand what your saying there. From my understanding, the dude everyone was upset at lived in Monroe..and you say you live in Mt. Vernon. So, are you the guy that was on the Sol Duc with the motor?

If so, like has been said...good choice to remove the kicker off the boat.

Granted, there is no law restricting motors on that river, but tradition means a lot fo folks out there, and that is one pristine piece of water that by most all accounts is unspoiled by the mechanical fossil fuel burning creations of modern man.

If'n your on the Skagit...stop in and say howdy! I'm just below the mouth of the Baker. Or, if you see that ugly DB of mine (before it is sold) give a shout.
