Dry/Swap Meet at John Slator's
2013-03-15 14:00 - 2013-03-16 16:00
Club Members,
See the bottom of this posting for the map to John Slator’s. Change of start time. Some folks will be arriving the sale/swap meet on Friday afternoon to set up etc., so it will be difficult to try and control private dealings so the decision was made to open up the upcoming meet on Friday afternoon the 15th at 2:00PM and continue Saturday morning the 16th opening at 9:00AM. We expect over 50 outboard motors along with several boats to be offered for sale. Should you choose to want to attend on Friday and have any questions do not hesitate to contact John Slator at cjslator@intergate.com or cell 979-357-2498.
A FYI for those members attending the meet a club member informed me that less than 15 miles away from John’s house is a gas station that sells Ethanol-free gas. If you want take a few cans and fill them up. See link- http://pure-gas.org/station?station_id=11250

Please see all the photos at http://www.texaschapteraomci.com/gallery/slator-meredith-gallery. New photos are being added as they come in. FYI, you can click on a picture to enlarge it. The collection will be kept intact to be sold at this scheduled meet. A partial list includes:
