I agree with everything but the NASCAR,,,, go fast turn left dont do it for me.:D :D :D

Is number 27 optional when my girlfreind is running the boat?:D

BTW, I almost always were Hawiian shirts on the boat. You can unbutton them to stay cool (literaly) and still not get your back burned up. Also, I figure the loud colors will make me easier to spot in case I make an unscheduled exit from a moving boat!:eek:

Oh man, someone pick me up. I'm going to make a steel sign version for our ramp!

Hmmm. Hawiian shirts... with flames to match my babes suit! Maybe not.

Bill272, Forgot Maker's Mark. Smoothest e-licksher ever made! Great ceeegars too.

Haven't tried Makers Mark...yet. But I do have to go along with the remarks about dropping the Nascar crap. Weekend Nascar fan at minimum?? Last I checked, weekends are for the water. If I have to sit in front of a TV watching good ol' boys drive in circles on one of the two days I don't have to work, I guess I'll never be cool. And that's cool with me.

Everything else is on the money.

I agree with the Maker's Mark also. That is one smoothe bourbon!:)

Tejas Raz 06-08-2002 12:39 AM

Oh! I forgot about the Nascar CRAP. Sorry Rambunctious.

They stole powerboating from my satalite. And that's the only reason I got the damn thing. I don't do ball either. Boating and speed - that "I" can enjoy are my sports! :mad:

Eh, maybe burning a little black powder from my flintlock too. Hey, us jarheads just can't go without shooting something. :rolleyes:

Ok, off soapbox now. Maybe a sip or two of "Drambuie" to calm me down.

Hey 26 Scarab, # 23 (which is missing) read:

When your tripple axle trailer with a 26 foot boat on it eats a set of bearings on one wheel, you remove that wheel, launch the boat, and get it fixed later. You DO NOT continue down the road and eat the spindle as well!!!!!!

Just kidding Chuck. Sorry to hear about your woes. Looked for you on the water, but didn't see you.

dyno 06-09-2002 08:52 PM

Mike you got no room to rass anyone you sucked a ride off Jafo all weekend!!!!does that make you Jafo's boat *****?????just busting your chops better get wrenching.

Jana 06-10-2002 08:17 AM

How about these for those of us who don't trailer:

Boat should be stored indoors, or at least under cover.
+1 for boathouse or slip with slings or hydrohoist.
-10 for bottom paint.
+1 for locked garage or completely indoor dry stack facility.
+1 for getting your marina to customize the rack bunks and/or forklift for your step hull.
+1 for cool dock box with boat name/manufacturer or racing stickers.
+10 for converting your covered dock at the marina into a party pad. (That's for some friends of mine down here who have actually done that. We had a Super Bowl party at the marina!)
