My bother and I are pulling out Tuesday. Jass is pulling out Wed. Time to shine!

Leaving wed afternoon to get a jump and getting to NorTech around noon on Thurs, check boat over and then over to Pat's shop so he can reclean it and fill it up with gas for me,:rolleyes: Ill bring the :ernaehrung004:

Have fun Jeff. I know it's been awhile since you've been on a good boat trip as you can't seem to hang on to a boat long enough to enjoy it.:D Like I said enjoy and try to keep Bob out of trouble. Is there any chance you will join us in January?

5 :)

possibly, depends on dad. AND its gotta be warm to even have Sandy remotely consider it.

2 for me Steve......we head out tuesday morning should be in KW by 3-4pm:D

Pat, When are you guys coming into KW? Friday? :cool-smiley-026:

friday

Nice John. I was taking a guess at Thursday. So it's 5 again.

Hey Clark, You need me to drive Stealin' Thunder down to KW so you can just relax? Its the least I can do for ya!!:p See you friday!!!!

4 to go!
and it looks like the oceans going to lay by Friday.:D

Yeah baby, let's go!! Looks like the weather is going to cooperate. We will see you at AT about noon or so on Thursday. Leaving Wed am staying in Gainesville for the night with only 300 miles to Pompano for Thursday so I should be there in time to see all those awesome boats up close.

Got all my maintenance completed over the weekend. Ready to go.

I talked to Bob Smallwood last night and he's got a big jump on you guys. He got down there Sat and is already leaving a trail of emptys.:D

Can't wait to see all the ATs and Jeff's new 43 in KW. Tom, drive safe man, thats a long tow by yourself.

Thanks John. Hopefully we'll make it OK. I've got enough spare parts to repower the boat and rebuild almost the entire trailer so hopefully that will ward off the breakdowns.

Better to be prepared than to be screwed alongside the road somewhere or not have something as simple as an impeller or a belt to get you back on plane......I have all the neccesities on the boat and in the truck when I go on the road......ask Wigginout.:p

This time tomorrow I'll be knockin' a few back hangin' with some good friends on Duval St.!!!!!:ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004:

Have a boat load for me John. :ernaehrung004:

Steve, Expect a few phone calls and quite a few pictures!!!:ernaehrung004::D

Just gotta make it a 100 yards from the landing. :D See you down there. :ernaehrung004:

Great point John. I forgot about my mantra chant. :D

Have fun guys.

I've already been receiving some interesting text messages with pics from John and Rich. :D:drink::drink:

All packed, and heading to the airport in a few hours.

I can't wait. Man, you should have heard the list of stipulations and ifs from M.S. when I was leaving this morning! Maybe she really knows me now? :D :D

PW :D

OK we've been at the factory all day watching color of money come together and drinking beer. Pretty cool. Should see Jassby's boat though. Very cool.

4-6's forecast for tomorrow. Bark at the moon.

What time & where is the AT group leaving from? 14th Street ramp?

We are supposed to be leaving the 14th Street Ramp around 10AM-ish.

Last I knew, Pat will let you yake PICTURES!!!!!!:D Have a great time guys and be safe:ernaehrung004:
