It's time. who's ready to go?
 
Looks like we are in the 60's this weekend. Plan to put everything back together Saturday and possibly splash her Sunday. Who else is ready to unleash the horses?
Eric, has your motor come back yet? Need to meet at Lake Anna soon and possibly Solomons Island.

I've been waiting to go for a while now, but it has yet to break 50 for more than a few days here in SW michigan. Dunno how much longer I can wait though, maybe end of April!

Barry, looks like the weather will be nice! Have Fun! Im ready but the boat is not. I hope the motor will be ready soon. I'm gettin a little pressed for time here, but that's half the fun!

We usually go to Lake Anna 1st time out with a new motor. So yea definatly! Solomons sounds good too.

Eric,
Plan to do some wrenching Saturday and hopefully be ready to go if the weather is good Sunday. Keep me posted when your ready to go. I'll meet you at the lake. Are you planning to do the RPBA poker run?

Game Over, is the 251 a new toy? Hope you get the spring thaw soon. It looks like 68 and sunny in VA this weekend.

Not exactly new, just a rebirth in interest. The first season there just wasn't enough time for me to go on the lake every weekend. After last season and spending the winter on these forums, I am pumped like never before.

CheckmateF1 03-07-2002 09:40 AM

Barry, I'll let you know soon. Yes we plan on running the RPBA poker run. Are you going?

Have fun this weekend and think about me when you lean on the throttle!!!

Well the weather is now a little questionable for Sunday but we'll see how it looks. Definately going to get her ready Saturday so the first possible day we can crank it up and go. If I only didn't have to work today was 72 and beautiful, oh well have to pay for gas somehow.

Eric, I do plan on running the RPBA event. Steve sent out an email today for a Hooters get together on the 23rd in Southside of Richmond. Come on down if you can.

Did you get the 500HP back yet? Don't lose too much time like the end of season!! Plan to buy a scanner this weekend so I can get some photos on line and hopefully sell this one and move up.

981, put that Checkmate on a trailer and bring her down to the sunny south. Have a great group of hot boaters in this area.

I would love too, but then I would have winterize the boat again and hope for no more snow due to the srink wrap removal.:(

Hey Barry, unfortunatly I probably won't make it to Hooters. I finally talked to Bruce. Motor is supposed to be done and on the dyno by last week of this month. It'll be tight but I should be on the water 1st week or 2 of April.

Talk soon, Eric
