    So much truth and wisdom in one single posting. There should be a Hall of Fame for such things!

    A better comparison might be an American made bike like the Street glide . The sports car of bikes. I have never been in a 7ss but I can see what you guys are talking about.

    Wow, Guy! I just checked in the mirror and you are right - well, at least half right.

    Yeah, that's actually the reason I am not building a IV - couldn't pass the "looks" requirement. Well, that and I just don't fit in that darn little airplane very well with my beautiful long legs.

    I bought a 4 in my mid life so I could save money on skin cream and a gym membership. Having floats on my 4 I'm still having issues with getting mobbed by attractive young women at the beach...

    I thought I finally found a nice little spot I could enjoy my plane without being bothered by attractive young women, but if you look close in this picture you will see a bunch of them coming down my driveway. Dang!

    (LOL!!!)

    Must be my old failing eyes but I don’t see those invaders coming down your driveway. Great location though. Looks like an advertisement for the guy who has his priorities RIGHT.

    I know this is a different subject but how do you tie the plane down on the water? Is there a dock there? Would you trust it to leave it while you are gone? Is there a place to learn this information?
    I hunted with a guide in the arctic and he would leave his 185 just moored off shore with a line around the propeller shaft . It would bob out there for weeks in some of the most extreme wind and weather I have ever been in.
