Shooting for a shakedown run Friday. It's been slow since I've had to work so much to make up for the week I took off. I got the trailer put back together and rolling. Pulls way better now!! Sanded all morning before work, will start buffing tomorrow and wed. Thurs should do impellers, fuel filters, and oil change. Final clean up/ shakedown Friday. That's the plan at least!!

Well with the north wind we had Friday, all the water was blowin out and we couldnt launch, so we just had lunch and drank beer by the water!! A close second!! Finally got out Sunday, there still wasn't much water but we made due. It was my daughters first time on a boat so I didn't push it very hard and we just stayed in Clear Lake. Weather was great, had a good lunch and hung in the swimming hole for a bit. Sea tow was quite busy pulling boats out that had ran aground. One guy even ran aground thinking he was doing good by getting out of sea tows way... Still have some odds and ends to take care of but she is coming along nicely!

Sorry we couldnt hook up with you this weekend. One of my turbos on the boat had issues.. We meet you and your wife last summer on clear lake at the turtle club. I have the white 32 ft Bayliner. Lots of adult beverages that day, so not suprised you dont remember. You dont remember my wife falling in the water? lol.
