Better than looking at my boat with shrink wrap on it and sitting on blocks though. B-Stubb's going to get my 26 prop labbed and we're hoping to get some more lift and a few more mph.
Brian is one super guy. Let me store my boat at his house overnight because the marina was closed by the time I got to Bonita Springs. Then took some of the afternoon off yesterday to fiddle with the boat and show me around. Thanks again Brian!!
I got down to the factory Wednesday around 7pm and JO waited for me so they'd have the boat in the morning. Pepe, JO and the crew worked all day Thursday until 4pm and got me out of there. Thanks guys...everything works just fine. I appreciate all your attention.

Re: Heading South
Full throttle,
Sorry I did not call you back yet, glad the trip down was OK for you and your tearing up the joint. Sounds like she's running good. Jo is saying I might be wrapped up the end of Dec, are you going to be down for Jan and Feb. Nothing like snowmobiling 300 mile north of Montreal, then hopping a plane and taking delivery of a brand new 28 and breaking her in in Miami the same week. Life does not suck! I'll let you know when I'll be there and come see you. Have a good time in the keys if you go.

Re: Heading South
Hey Sonny:
I'll be in Florida the last two weeks of every month. Call me and maybe we can get together. BTW...during my first run in the Gulf some babes were on a 40 footer and liked the Flag and boat...flashed the puppies!!
Life doesn't get any better. Hope to see you soon!!

Ron,
If all goes well I will be down with my 28 A.T. the second half of January. I think a few of the Thunder guys are going to head down to the keys again and I thought I would try to make it. I should be in the Ft. Myers area around the 15th. I will hold onto your cell number and if I make it down I will get in touch with you.

Ron,
Would you PLEASE start to carry around that camera! Get some pic's going would you. All I have is leaves falling off the tree's up here. Once I have a date from Jo I'll call you and we'll go looking for those puppie's. How are you doing on top end playing with the prop's?

Sonny & Turbo:
Got to get that camera..WOW!! Back in CT now and will be in Florida by the 15th. I'll be running so will be take some pics of FT in Florida.
Going to try a labbed 26 for running and see what it gets me. If the results are not what I want then I'll try something else. Keeping the 24 for everyday. Will keep you posted.
