Coming down April 10th, is anything going on that weekend? Will anybody be boating?

That's going to be a big weekend! They have the Blues Fest and Festival of Sates going on. Many people gather and raft up just outside of Vinoy Park to enjoy the music.

April 11 to 13 - 2008 Whitney Bank Tampa Bay Blues Festival.
Vinoy Park, Bayshore Dr. and 7th Ave. N.E. times TBA. National blues bands perform, arts and crafts and tasty food. $30. www.tampabaybluesfest.com

April 12 - Festival of States - Day Parade.
Downtown to the waterfront. time TBA Marching bands, floats and clowns fill the streets with fun and music. www.festivalofstates.com

It's a possibility, but I'm not positive that my boat will be ready by then. If so, I'll be out by the park.

Daze, what are you doing to you boat?

CigDaze · 03-07-2008, 10:14 AM

It was time for a freshening, got 2 new motors going in. The first one's done and already in the boat, working on the second one right now.

Sounds good I have heard about this. We will be in a little 18' CC that we have down there for the time being. Hoping to get into a Concept soon.

Nice! Who is doing the work? What motors did you get?

Skater, we're near where Chancellor and Bayou Grande meet; near the firehouse.

Mike, nothing crazy...been there, done that, had enough...putting in a pair of EFI 502s with stainless marine exhaust. Looking for no-nonsense, turn-key reliability. I've been working with Richard over at Knight's Marine, he's a great guy and a great mechanic.

I had a 502efi with Stainless Marine exhaust on my Scarab. The Stainless Marine exhaust was super nice!

CigDaze · 03-11-2008, 08:22 AM

Ya man, I'm super happy with the Stainless Marine stuff. The first motor's complete, it's back in the boat and is up and running....sounds great with that exhaust. I'm certain it'll be a nice upgrade from the garbage GIL sh!t that was on there before which led to the demise of my starboard engine.
