Successful Splash Down Yesterday
 

Dayum I love this boat! I had almost forgotten how much an andrenaline rush this beast is at WOT!! Raced some cars that were crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel...and won. :D

Boys day out with a buddy and me. He brought beverages and a bottle of Startron and I bought gas. $300 for 80 gallons. Oh well, pay to play, eh?

You're a couple of weeks ahead of me.

Looking to get the boat out of storage this week. :)

Would have splashed long ago, but we have had 4 weekends of on and off rain and/or serious wind. Rain again today.

Good to hear everything ran OK. Maybe I'll get to ride in mine eventually :rolleyes: How come your not out today ? :evilb: :D

Splashed yesterday too.....ran by Activeshacks to see a not so "active" dock. Everything ran well, come on summer!!!!

Sweet, just a few more weeks here. Marina did call saturday and said it was all set.:D

That's nothing! Wait till you have to start paying $5.49/gallon!!

About 3 weeks till im in here in pa, cant wait for that rush at WOT.

I might need to rename the boat soon to "INACTIVE" :hitfan: :Whatever:

De winterized yesterday....ran for 15 seconds and sputtered and died. Thought it ran out of gas (empty tank over the winter) put 10 gal in it and tried again, same, looked at the fuel pressure gauge and figured 15 psi is not going to cut it. Pump runs but will not build pressure. 8 years isn't to bad to get out of an electric pump. Going down to the marina tomorrow to install a new cool fuel pump "Kit" to the tune of $300.00 plus:grinser010: And then its over to the gas dock:Whatever:

Ouch!! Hopefully that is a long wait!

Here is a pic from not too long ago. Look at the price of diesel!

....and that is Marina Shore's which isn't exactly known for being the cheapest on the water either!!!!

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!

we had a succesful ride yesterday as well,

brian thanks for help in the dewinterization process. why i did not think of that not sure but oh well.

pat thanks for talking to martin, boat rode great

pretty early up here, but great weekend. there is still ice on some of the inland lakes, 34 degree water temp.

Unfortunetley I dont think were going to see those prices ever again :(

Lori wasnt liking the stuff without the stamp on Sunday morning :grinser010: Glad you had a good time on the Rivah :drink: :cool:

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

Idea
 

I have an idea for ActiveShack. He can put videos/DVDs in of his boat and watch them at his new Dock in. OUCH!:party-smiley-004:

Are you guys trying to get me going :angry-smiley-038:

It wont work tonight because it's Monday and I'm not in the Goose bottle :p

I'd rather be watchin' AT videos at Mark dock -in than sitting here thinkin about it:p

No not really
 

I was thinking of a new name for the boat
Quite Thunder
Under Active

Just think of how much money you are saving on gas! Not to mention it is still snowing in Aspen. Hee Hee :angry-smiley-038:

For now I'm still :sport009:

How about "Distant Thunder" :hitfan:

I thought Dean was your friend Mark:Whatever:

And Russ....is just.....Russ:grinser010:

:D

Just a little friendly banter that I dont have a defense for right now :rolleyes:

Thats just not nice;):rolleyes:

Sad but true :o

Weather man says it's gonna be 85 & sunny Saturday. What time is the matinee, or hapy hour :evilb::ernaehrung004:

5 o'clock :ernaehrung004:

And we can anchor out front & watch too, until that big boat comes back & blocks our view :evilb::hitfan:

Your safe for now :angry-smiley-038:

PLease don't call me tommorrow when your riding around in the masterblaster soaking up the sunshine

Well the Masterblaster is all I've got to ride in for now :Whatever:

Dock TV
 

Buzz I didn't think about that. Without Overactive in the lift we can see the TV from the river.

OK I wont call :p
