Wonder what happened to the tiger boat?

Don't know. I did some wiring troubleshooting on it a couple months before he passed but don't know what happened after.

The ole Capt. let me take the Laguna Tiger out by myself a few times. It made me feel really special because I know how proud he was of that rig. I need to call his old housekeeper Ana Faye to find out what ever happened to that boat.
Last trip down there was with my two kids and he had some beauty down for a charter.
He was in the Triton with her and I was in the Tiger with my kids.
Well,the Mississippi river was way up and it was my first trip through the Ostrica locks since they had reopened them.
All I remember seeing was that big ole Triton dissappear when it went through the locks and once I got a little closer I realized why that was.

Freaking 15' drop from the river to the marsh.Scared the crap out of me and my kids and the force of that water pushing through those locks had me wondering how in the hell we would get back through them coming home.
Only way we made it back up that wall of water was a full throttle blast uphill!!!!

Haha,good times,good times.

And yes Salty,that is indeed Capt. Ben Leto in that picture with you and John.
