Re: January ThundeRun 2007
One downed boat and a few hoses are not even close to a mechanical nightmare.
I was actually glad Rich busted! I got to spend some really great time, one on one, with him and his adorable wife, Jen!
The weather was great and the water was perfect. A combination of ocean running and bay running. You have to mix it up to have fun.
So where's the pictures???

Re: January ThundeRun 2007
Boat is back on the trailer, and I am on the road north.
I was the one with water pressure issues, too much/too little, depending on the time of the day. I never overheated, nor damaged an impeller or SWP, but did have the O-ring in the SWP fail. I/we made it all 240 miles, but the last 30 were the most intense. The ocean kicked up to 4-8 foot choppy rollers on the way back to Pompano. When entering the inlet back in Pompano, we punched through a 15' wall of water, and cracked the windscreen, but no big deal. It was AWESOME!

We did have a great time and thanks again for the ride and hauling all 15 bags of Jens clothes.
