Going on the Thursday departure

Re: Key West poker run
 

We'll be there. Going in my buddies Tiger. He's shipping it late Oct. to Spinnaker. Flying in Wed. and going to run the boat over to the hotel the run leaves from on Thursday.Looks like there'll be a large Cig turn out for the Thurs run. Look for us. Here's a pic of the boat.

Hey Wild, we're going to do the same thing you're planning. We'll have to keep in touch.

You guys talk Phil into taking the 45 to KW yet??

Re: Key West poker run
 

Hey guys
My boat is at tnt for some major surgery, hopefully it will be done by then.
If we go it will be on Thursday. Its just amazing how not maintaining your motors takes its toll. But I look at the bright side of it , now they both will be new again, and will be taken care of the way they should be.

LS

Re: Key West poker run
 

We hope to go, but at this rate, the motors are back at Mercury and the 46 is gutted at the factory. With the way things move at Cig, I doubt we will be there. We were going to go down and sea trial the boat at that poker run, but now we just might take it out for a day or two before it comes home. Maybe next year.. :cool:

Re: Key West poker run
 

We'll be there in the F-2 with a couple of new tricks up our sleeve!!, thursday

Re: Key West poker run
 

Hopefully it will be completed. I cannot believe the luck you've had so far. Sorry to hear.

Re: Key West poker run
 

Ill be down in the area on Tuesday and we will be running down on Thursday with the FPC. The boat has been down there for 2 months already. Everything is freshend up and ready to run. Cant wait !!!

Re: Key West poker run
 

LS,
Didnt your boat have newer 525,s??Was the former owner that abusive/careless??

Re: Key West poker run
 

Yes they are 525 efi's. 2003 with 195 hrs. I have put 38 hrs on the boat since I bought it. I guess I just have been unlucky. :mad:
I'm sure my luck will change as soon as I get my boat back with the new engines. As far as the former owner goes, my mother always taught me......If you have nothing nice to say about someone.......Say nothing ! The proof is in the pudding.

LS

Re: Key West poker run
 

Sorry to hear that.

Re: Key West poker run
 

You're having to rebuild both?

Re: Key West poker run
 

LS- Sounds like things were worse than when we talked last. Taking care of both motors is a painfull thing ($$) to do, but at least you know what you have when you are done.

38 hours of use and you have to have major repairs/replacement of 2 drives and 2 motors.......I'd pretty much say that there was a serious lack of maintenance before you bought the boat. It is funny how some people can afford the boat, but can't afford to do the proper maintenance.

I hope your luck changes and you get to enjoy the ride.

Chad

Re: Key West poker run
 

Forget serious lack of maintenance, how do you kill low hour 525,s?

Re: Key West poker run
 

only 46 more days..

Re: Key West poker run
 

Yeah, LS sure got the schitt end of the deal on that transaction......... Worst part is that the LS family are probably the nicest people o this forum! On the bright side, they will have a brand new boat when its all said and done.

The one motor is still good but I figure it will be cheaper to rebuild it before it also takes a dump.

Re: Key West poker run
 

Lets hope that 10 Benzo's sell this month and maybe he will have blowers put on there too!!!!!!

Re: Key West poker run
 

At first, I was disapppointed Gary took LS's money instead of mine, but now I'm feeling kinda lucky. None the less, I'd never wish those problems on anyone.

LS- Smart move rebuilding the other. IMO, you still have one of the coolest rides out there. Brett is right......throw some blowers on that bad boy and you'll have a triple digit T/S.

Re: Key West poker run
 

Hey Chad, when are you gonna get a Glad??? I have a deal for ya!!!

Re: Key West poker run
 

Brett- I'd love to have your Gladiator, but I can't convince the wife yet. I thought I had her talked into one, but she still wants a Tiger. She said that she and her friends won't have a place to change suits if we buy a Gladiator. I told her that she and her friends are more than welcome to use the cockpit as a changing room and I promise not to peek! I don't see any promblems with that arrangement! :p

Re: Key West poker run
 

You mean 10 a week----- I'm working on that goal !

I will give the full family discount to anyone who buys a car from Mercedeshowroom. I can also get you any used car at wholesale.
Just let me know, I need the money for my Cigarette habit :D

Ya by the time I'm done I could have bought a 2004 TG

But then again it would not have been an F2 boat.........

LS

Re: Key West poker run
 

Just faxed over the form, leaving on Thursday, see you guys then.

My first poker run, its all down hill from here.

Take it easy on my slow little boat.

Wild

Re: Key West poker run
 

P-Whipppppppppped... :D:D:D

Re: Key West poker run
 

LS, sorry to hear about your motor issues.
we purchased a cig this past spring with warrantied rebuilt motors.
we had trouble since day one. then one finally blew last july.
the best thing is, that nobody on the warranty end is helping us out.SO MUCH FOR WARRANTIES
we are repowering with 2 new motors and upgraded drives.
should be done in a few weeks, but to late for key west.
we will bring the cig down in january

Re: Key West poker run
 

not necessarily p-whipped, but more along the lines of this...............

buy a gladiator, ride around with a boatload of guys.....OR......buy a Tiger and ride around with a boat load of hotties in thongs. :D :D :D

Re: Key West poker run
 

pretty much settles it. :D

Re: Key West poker run
 

By my Tiger and Ill buy a Gladiator

2000 with new 700'S with 1 year warrenty
