I will be there!! My boat is done, covered up and back on the lift. Can't wait to see everyone and get a good run in with it. It's been a year and a half since its been on the water and we are looking forward to a having a nice year on the lake.

Hey Speedy.......... Two pictures of your F-2 in there. WOW!

86 Cigs and a Baja

LOL, considering many, many Cig owners once owned Baja's, little Baja love isn't so bad. :D

Thought I’d bring this back up. About 10 days to go!

Hey, just a reminder if anyone needs a dock we have one at the house we rented about 5 doors down from PBC. Looks like it could accommodate a couple boats. Obviously, Kelly (Payupsucka) has first dibs but there's room for a couple it appears, could even fit more I bet if side tied. Only partial cover but if backed in looks like it'd cover a decent amount. Walking distance to PBC. Let me know if anyone is interested.

So what's the story on all the debris in the water i'm reading about?

Is this going to be a factor for the run?

Depends on the weather and to what level they can draw Truman down to over the next several days. All the junk floated off the banks on Truman Lake has to make its way downstream thru LOTO.

You Beeetches be safe out there and drink a few for me. Got family chit in San Diego next weekend. :angry-smiley-044:

That would be cool to see 100 Cigarettes idling down LOTO. :)

Well, we cant change it we can only hope for the best and see what we get,

So anything getting better out there?

Wouldn't be the first time I sat at a bar all weekend and drank.

Hard to tell, according to AccuWeather the Osage beach area has chances of rain from now through Saturday then it dries out, but as mentioned before the condition of LOTO is contingent on the CORPS releasing water up stream @ the Truman dam.

It will be a large time no-matter what, but the trip for you and me is chicken feed compared to some like LS & LS Jr. who are the long haulers of the event pulling clear from FL.

Truth!!! Hate to see them come all the way up only to see my ugly mug and not run their boats.

Any count on how many boats registered? Did they break 100?

There are a lot of factors going on right now and its a big balancing act now of who is going to get flooded and when.
They have been holding water back in Truman as much as they can, but it is WAY full now and they are dumping into LOTO.
They were holding back water to reduce flows to the Osage River which is already high and that eventually dumps into the flooded Missouri River.
LOTO was never meant for flood control. Its just a pass through lake from Truman to the Osage River. LOTO get lowered about 5-6 ' over the winter in prep for Spring thaw and rain then its pretty steady around 659'.
LOTO is near full pool now close to 660' and dumping about the same amount of water into the Osage River as Truman is dumping into LOTO.
Both Truman and the Osage River area are basically flooded and the Osage River is going to get worse for sure and residents have been warned.
The big question......Rain......If LOTO gets hit with a couple inches of rain, the lake will most likely go to 662' which will cause some flooding at LOTO to lower homes at lower elevations. It will also cause even more debris to wash off the shore banks and float into the lake.

The short answer is still..............maybe, but it will still be great event.

Thank you Griff.... It's a long haul from South Florida with 2 boats.
Hope everything straightens out for the run. We will be there!

Yessir it sure is. The haul from Tennessee to Key West is a b!tch so I feel ya!
If it's any consolation I'll forward y'all the same generosity I was shown in KW, you don't buy any drinks as long as I'm around. https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/...aehrung004.gif

Better late, real late..than never, man ID be there helping you out if we were closer

Glad to see they're in your warehouse and ready to go in!! Wish I was there to help you too brotha.

1047 and 1051 at 6000 on the HP. He said one blower was a little stronger than the other. Don't have the dyno sheets here and I can't remember what the torque was but I think he said mid 900s.

And Tank before you say anything, I'm eating a cheeseburger............not jacking around on OSO.

Get on that install!!!

Ready To Go!
