Today it was 77. We have been getting a little "june glume" in the morning but it tends to burn off by 11:00. Let me know..even if you just come down for a day trip.

Question- in another thread Westcoast is asking about better hydraulic steering because his is a little loose- and as cheap as Wellcraft was I don't see them putting a extra tiebar in just for the he1l of it. Now I have never had this boat in the water yet- but my old Stinger 312 had the same steering system and it was tight- so maybe it makes a difference. Just my .02

Geometrically speaking it is hard to just slap linkage inside and then outside the transom and then expect the geometry to line up. In the steering of autos you can find incorrect geometry in factory cars and it gives you "bumpsteer". I seriously think I have some binding going on in the linkage and I can see how it would wear out joints/clevis ect.
I just got in my raw water pumps-pretty bronze things. Am I supposed to be able to turn them by hand? I sure cant!
