What a great gift…to all of us, if it keeps Wayne on the water after retirement! I was kind of afraid he would retire to somewhere cooler, or warmer or whatever and leave us fumbling around trying to be smarter than a striper. What an amazing gift! Wow!

 

[CHRIS MCBETH]

Awesome. You deserve it.

 

[Guido]

WOW! What a fantastic guy - Way to go Rich!

And congrats Wayne, can't wait to hear how you did today....

 

[Fursniper]

Congratulations on receiving this wonderful gift and hats off to Rich McCain for his awesome generosity and kindness. God is good!!!

 

[Meatwagon]

Now for the big question, is she up to the wrath of the maytag straights and does she put you on the fish? Hopefully both are a big yes.

 

[POk3s]

Fantastic! Everyone’s proper feel good story of the day (week/year???) !! I hope to see the water dog floating around one day!

 

[Jackalope]

very nice ... Hope to see you out on the water!

 

[just plain bill]

stunning! congrats!

 

[Mr Jimmy]

Right On Wayne !!!!
You'll be sporting in that rig ! Maybe, some pin striping and flames. lol
Watch out Stripers !!! Now all you need is to come up with the gas $ money $.
ENJOY !!! You look really proud. Plus you have a project.

 

[just plain bill]

Flames would definitely be appropriate for Page, based on my recent golf/fishing experience!

 

[Steve Moore]

This is the best feel good story in a long time

a great boat gets a deserving guy

 

[Canyon Glen]

Well done! I think you found away around the first rule of boating:

"Use somebody else's boat"

 

[Blackjack]

As stated by multiple previous posters, what an awesome gift ! Of course there is no one is more deserving of this kind of windfall based on the many years of selfless dedication and guidance Wayne has provided to countless Lake Powell users. I hope Rich is on this site - he exemplifies all that is good in this world, and he has restored some of my (lost) faith in humanity. Maybe you guys can schedule an annual trip to allow him to continue to enjoy the Lake with his own personal fishing guide ! Rich is welcome anytime at my camp site or slip. . . What goes around comes around and may his generosity be repaid many times over. . .
