We all stayed over on Sunday to ride some more and these are from Sunday so don't bust me for no PFD's.

The young fellow with us is Chris who manages our Salisbury store. This is his second poker run with us and he had a BLAST!

Thanks again to Jeff & Sonya "Steel Outlawed" who are a fantastic crew.

I'm not going to let you drive this time!

You coming up to help pull the engines out?

Okay we are going to start phase II of the Rebirth of Dock Holiday.

I plan to pull the engines soon and polish the valve covers and the blowers. While they are out for polishing we will also address some oil leaks we have around the oil pan gaskets on both engines.

Then I have a steering issue that is driving me crazy. We have changed filters and bled the system to the point that we have driven up the price of transmission fluid on the world market. I have had several conversations with Latham and we are pretty sure at this point that the hose extensions are causing a problem and that we have an issue with the pump at the helm. So I plan to do what I wanted to do from day one and did not have the funds $$$ at the time. I just ordered two complete IMCO transom assemblies with the built in steering rams and we are going to upgrade the complete system to IMCO with all new components. The number one reason is safety, number two is the added strength, number three is for the look and number four is to get the new helmet for the SCX drives.

Chrome won't get you home, but it looks good even when what it is on is broke.
I'm just jealous of the SCX's you are getting.
