Hi All, glad to be aboard the LO site. I bought my 25, Cream Puff in 1987. That's some 27 years ago. I have tried to wear the boat out, but, no luck. To make it user friendly, I have really done some creative mods to it so staying 3-4 days on it, at a time was very pleasant. If anyone is interested in doing some frugal mods, let me know. Thanks Bert F.
