Size matters!
Russ,
Better heed this cliche and not put it in very cold water.

Not so fast .....
I got the word 'yar' from this film made in the 50's. The boat was called the 'True Love'. When the lovers (who were out of love at the time) fondly
recalled their honeymoon on the boat:
"My, she was yar"
Below are the two main characters.
What was the name of the film, Roger? Who was the third main star? What 30's classic was it based on (hint: Kate Hepburn).

I liked the original with Kathryn Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart.
It was a pretty boat, very "yar".
Bajagringo, I agree with your post. I know someone with a fancy boat, but can't fish for beans.
Russ, don't forget the swim step.

Aha...tic toc tic toc tic toc...shades of Anthony Hopkins in '______'? Hmm...?
Sorry about the tardiness of this reply, but a normal fishing day up here is long. 20+ hours of daylight...and scant sleep. (Which should remind
you of yet 'another movie' starring Al Pacino and Robin Williams?)
"YAR"...'..easy to handle, quick to the helm, fast, just right.' ..quote from Katherine Hepburn. My boat Up North is a
Yar-Craft and one I have used a lot on the Cortez...a pure fishing boat....very yar.
.
So....Skipjack Joe, Russ, Vandenburg, Paulina, and other classic movie buffs, the name of that movie was High Society Bing Crosby
and Grace Kelly...two of my all-time classic favorites.
Crosby and Kelly reminisce of their former marriage and a former yacht. After fondly discussing the craft’s virtues, Kelly sighs, “My, she was yar,”
meaning nautically admirable in every way. It looks like Russ's new boat will be 'yar' , too!
The other male star was....drum roll....FRANK SINATRA!
Crosby and Kelly's movie was based on this earlier classic ....another drum roll if you please.......Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant
in...'The Philadelpia Story'..yup, a remake of a classic.
Now..what did I win? Something fishy, I hope.
Good luck with the new boat, Russ! May she be yar.

edited to correct typo duplicate on movie name...grrrr

High Society it is.
A bit more on this film.
Who was the musician that narrates the film now and again? He's a favorite of mine. Hint: he always sings with a handkerchief in his left hand.

No. You got boarded, tied to the mizzen and your boat is now in tow.

Sorry.
I hear the livingston is the most popular skiff in the puget sound area. Very stable. Gas usage may be higher than the aluminum boat as it probably
takes more power to plane.

No problem with the highjack! It's a fun thread so far so highjack away. I hate it when I get tied to the "mizzen". Really tough to type.
My beauty isn't a Livingston but a really close copy. I like it better cuz it has a bench seat with dry storage and some flotation pockets too.
Still waiting for the motor to be worked on and it has been really ugly out on the water the last three days so our dorado tourney may be canceled if
it doesn't calm down this afternoon

I feel your pain, Russ. Gale force winds here right now....in fact, it's soooo windy here that my dog has to back up to bark.
