Thanks for the invite. I might have to shoot down there. How big of a Lake are you on? How did the boat run of the maiden voyage. It will be a couple weeks before I make it out, its has been real windy and the big pond is still very cold.

We hope to have these boats participate in this year's outing: 38 Powerquest Avenger 525SCs, 33 Baja Outlaw HP500s, 32 Sunsation Dominator 6.2s, 31 American Offshore 502SCs, 31-35 Awesome Cat unknown power, 30 Formula 302 SR-1 454s, 29 Powerquest Enicer 454s, 282 Rinker 6.2, and 259 Checkmate 454. The boat ran great in the maiden voyage, just needs a little more power.
I'm sitting on the lift (barely) across from you now!

They all do! Power is something you can never have enough of!
Hopefully I will be able to make it down.

Here is a pick of a Formula heater, comes in handy while boating in April. Lift installment was entertaining to say the least. Pratt's looks good. Mine?? Well, just don't lean on the boat or the lift might go down!
Looking forward to this season on Dock 3.

Re: 1st Day Out
I hope to be ready by the weekend before Memorial Day. All I need is some more severe weather, feild work and odd jobs, and another fire or ignition at work!
