    Back in the mid to late 70's on Silver Lake, Wisconsin. I remember seeing an 18 footer with a 200 horse Evinrude on it, and it said "Barefooting Gentlemen" on the side. Does anyone know who owned that boat or what happened to it?

    THE "BAREFOOT GENTLEMAN" WAS OWNED BY BRUCE WICK OF KENOSHA, AN OLD FRIEND I LOST TRACK OFF, SOMETIME IN THE 80'S HE MOVED TO HAYWARD WISCONSIN AND HAD A RESORT....I LEARNED TO FOOT BEHIND THAT BOAT AND IT WAS MY INSPIRATION TO BUY ONE OF MY OWN AFTER HAVING OWED SOME GO FAST SWITZERS, AND A MASTERCRAFT OR TWO. IF I RUN INTO ANY OF THE OLD SILVER LAKE GROUP I WILL TRY TO GET MORE INFO, I TOO HAVE WONDERED WHERE IT WENT, TOTTALY COOL BOAT, BRUCE PURCHASED NEW IN 77 OR 78.
