Default Willie hat! Ready.... Set!!!!!!

Hey Yo!
On one of the many, many Willie pages, Willie Boats describes what makes the perfect marriage! Can you find it?
If you are the first to be back here with the correct answer, I'll send you a Willie hat! They are so cool! Bill wore one the other day and got a limit! Must be lucky hats!!!!
OK, According to Willie Boats, the perfect marriage consists of.... What combo?

Be the first to post the correct answer and I'll give up the goods.
Remember, if you have won in the last month, give someone else a chance to win.
The winner must mail me their address within a couple hours, or I'll forget what you won and send you the wrong prize. This could consist of anything ranging from Bill's drift boat, to a can of worms!!!
Ready... Set......
GO!
Jen

Jet-powered boating is the most fun, exciting and versatile innovation in water sports today. And Sport Jet by Mercury Marine is the power of choice in the industry. OptiMax® is the most advanced technology yet. A precisely metered amount of fuel and air is delivered under high pressure directly into the combustion chamber, creating an ideal plume of atomized fuel for the most efficient burn possible. With an average of 45% better fuel economy (up to 80% better at idle) and smooth, smokeless and misfire-free operation, Mercury's new OptiMax® delivers everything that a boater could ever hope for in an outboard engine. But that’s not all. An innovative multi-point lubrication system delivers precise amounts of oil only when and where it’s needed, producing virtually smoke free operation even at idle or trolling. And because all this amazing technology is operating on a relatively lightweight 2-stroke platform, OptiMax® is able to deliver stunning acceleration and performance. Save up to 45% on your fuel bill – OptiMax® fuel economy saves you money every time you go boating. Virtually smokeless operation for greater comfort on the water

Here is this


My biggest and best catch in the Willie was Dan. When we decided that we would get married we were discussing where and when. I said, "since we have spent most of our lives together in the drifter, why not get married in her", and we did. On July 13th, 1996 we stood together with our minister in the bow of the "old girl" and said our vows. Not a bad way to "launch" a life together.

For most people, the history of their lives is usually told around which car they owned at a particular time. For fishermen, the most precious memories and the biggest fish stories (lies?) involve what they caught them on, where they were, and which of their many boats they were fishing out of. My Dad owned the fastest Chris Craft inboard on Clearlake in 1944, then he bought the Little LuLu when he married my Mom (Louise), and he finished out his days in the boat we all learned to ski and fish out of that we affectionately called the Green Monster. Funny we have never given a name to the drifter. Being the romantic I am, I think of her as the Love Boat. Two people who love each other, enjoy a sport they love, on rivers that they love, catching fish that they love and respect, in a boat that is filled with loving memories. We have painted her, put a new floor in her, and coated her bottom. Through white water, rain so hard we have lost sight of the river, and rocks covered with an inch of water she has safely brought us to the take out. Years of happy clients have worn out her seats, and we were in Medford picking up some new ones and discussing purchasing a new drift boat. I made the comment to Willie that no matter what we were going to keep the "old girl." We'll turn her into a fly fishing boat and a whole new chapter will begin in her life. He seemed pleased that his creation has been such an important part of our lives.

Thanks for the memories Willie.
