If you had a turbine boat or could get these Mercs to change over and burn this stuff Activeshack had me around this weekend with no tax stamp they'd probably run faster and cheap.
I also saw the new aquatic ,possible X-Rated, drive-in theater on the Chickahominy...THEY SURE DO KNOW HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME ON THE CHICKAHOMINY!!!!!!!!!!!:drink::drink::drink::drink ::D

Darn!
Macklin & I usually get to run together on the 1st splash. My boat is waiting on tailpipes. Hope to finish it 100% next Saturday and be ready for shakedown 1st weekend in May.
Mac, mark that weekend - lets burn some dino oil!

That was at least two and maybe three years ago because that is my old PQ. Gas was a buck a gallon...at the marina...when I bought it.

Shack, let me know when the shows are gonna start so I can bring the skiff up to the "drive in". :evilb::ernaehrung004:

Succesful splash today....after a new fuel pump "Kit" from mercruiser and only $120.00 of fuel:evilb: The "kit" is complete BS, mercury must have a load of unused fuel coolers that they need to get rid of so they put them in the box and charge an extra $150. :angry-smiley-038: Got it in and fired it up, checked all the fluids and took a short VERY windy ride on the Susquehanna River (no Rivah there):D Fueled it up and put it away. Is it the weekend yet?:D
