I'll be there with the new boat! The boat went into the water at the factory and ran...... Doug was cutting off 2 and half inches off of the sportmasters and gining it a go. So far so good. The boat will be divered sometime saturday!

Cignificant

You go Nauti!! Maybe I'll ride with you and save some gas.

Wow! Great news! Can't wait to see it....

This years run looks better than last year. Plus the amount of boats already signed, should be some grat hardware out there.

Marina Shores is offering "free" forklifts into the water and will park your trailer in support of the event. A lot of our folks keep their boat there as well and I live just down the canal on the water. http://www.maptech.com/mymaps/mymaps.cfm?mid=31286|56545768214634

As best I know Cobb's Marina ramp is usable. The new city ramp located at the western base of Lesner Bridge (Lynnhaven Inlet) is more than enough for large boats with a nice ramp/dock and is a 10 minute ride around to Little Creek Harbor. The bridge/inlet/ramp is located on Shore Drive just east of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. http://www.maptech.com/mymaps/mymaps.cfm?mid=31285|56545768214634

East Beach Marina is just a short walk down the street from the where the party's will be held which is in the parking lot adjacent to Bay Point Marina/Grill. It's located on Pretty Lake Avenue (Norfolk) just off Shore Drive to the west. Bay Point will have limited slips available, but East Beach should have plenty as well as Marina Shores. http://www.maptech.com/mymaps/mymaps.cfm?mid=31283|56545768214634

Hey Nauti, when's the boat (38ZX, 525's) getting here tomorrow? You gonna have that 10 hours break-in done by next weekend?....

Nauti-Props

The boat will be here tomorrow! Don't know what time..sometime in the afternoon.... I talked to Doug Valentine this am and the boat ran great...better than my expection with Merc Labs. Doug ran the slip calculations and feels the boat should run faster with the Hydromotives. The Hydros are on back order...oh well......look out Dave!
