A virgin no more . . . Twins, nearer, (2011, 4720 hp) is now in the notch, although I’m not sure any oil has yet flowed in the tanks of RTC 104. I’m not sure of the ID of the slightly farther Reinauer vessel . . . Nicole Leigh? Doubleclick enlarges most.
Marion Moran, 1982, 4610 hp.
Bruce A. McAllister, 1974, 4000 hp.
Nicole Leigh Reinauer, 1999, 7200 hp.
Bohemia, 2007, 4200 hp.
Elizabeth McAllister, 1967, 4000 hp.
Gramma Lee T Moran, 2002, 5100 hp.
Resolute, 1975, 3000 hp.
Viking, 1972, 4300 hp.
Bear, 1958? But I don’t know the horsepower . . . bear power? And is this NOT the vessel formerly known as Little Bear, as seen in the sixth foto here?

Thanks for the reply, I don’t know how I missed that comment.
Yes I am in Toledo.
Hopefully a few more days and I will have my boat ready to come out of the water.
