Oh I get it...does he bring his life jacket like one of our former members? :p

All I’ve seen is paid bar tabs and fuel bills.
No life jackets so far.
I don’t think I bought a single drink all last week/weekend.

We’re at the river this weekend but like Kelly said I haven’t had the boat back in the water since April. Dash is out again getting all fixed (bad ground) and some finishing touches but I think the paint stuff is holding up. It lasted all weekend with us beating the crap out of it. We’ll see.

Cafe Racer speed?
 

[QUOTE=thisistank;4791384]should’ve flagged me down! Was able to meet a ton of people in person the 11 days we were there for both events.

and thanks for the compliment. It’s coming along. Almost done with this phase. But now I’m looking at new interior and pushing for Barrett to build me some NA 650’s. ;)[/QUOTE

it looked like from a previous quote you have 496HOs and you said they run 55-60MPH. What rpm do you run it at and what do think you’ll get from the 650s? Thanks

[QUOTE=TICafeRacer;4795211]I’m seeing mid to upper 60’s with the 496’s. I still need to play with props and I haven’t been able to check rpm because there was a bad ground in the dash and I haven’t had tachs. Getting that fixed now though.

Thanks very much! That helps a lot.

few pics from last weekend in havasu and upper river. Stayed at our buddies that has a sweet house right on the water above havasu on the river. Headed to Barrett’s Friday, grabbed boat filled it up and dunked it. Ran up river (50ish miles) to the house with wife and kids. Saturday we ran down to pirates and hung out. Sunday we went half way down river and beaches up with H2oToie and his new 42x. Ran back to havasu Monday and pulled it out. Don’t know if any of you remember but I was looking for the battery switch cover door and ended up finding one and finally putting it on. Came out sick. Isotta went on too. Little things getting done. Boats nearly done done. Handful of small stuff and it’ll be done. Great trip. Kids got to run the boat as did my wife. Overall, great trip. Best boating in havasu is October.

Boat looks great’ glad to hear you and your family are building great memories with it. That’s what it’s all about. Hope to see it next year at the Rendezvous.

I think we’re for sure gonna bring the cafe or the center console out. That’s the plan at least.

A while back i picked up a set of “Cafe Racer” decals in the original font in blue with charcoal shadow. Finally put them on today. I like it. I like the factory look.

Looking good man, jealous you’re already out on the water! Spring fever is hitting hard

you’ll be here soon enough! ;)

So you mean the water is not 46*?!:drink:

I like the wheel/tire combo

Lol I’d say the water was low to mid 60’s. Not bad. I jumped in a few times. Refreshing.

Yeah Adrenaline trailers in havasu put new rims/tires, added a new bow stop with built in ladder and whole new tongue. Also electric over hydraulic brakes. They did a great job

Looking GOOD Tank! I'll see it in person in a couple short weeks...

Looking good Tank!!

Thanks Jim! Trying to get it to your status! ;)

chillin the most at the river today. Got the TV set on some speed on the water videos, sitting at the bar, looking out on the boat. 😁👍


https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...7a2b7926f.jpeg

Love the view from the bar area and a very nice looking place you have by seeing the different pics you have posted before. We are wanting to come out to Havasu this year or next if everything works out.

havasu is great. Lots of room to run, the scenery, water and weather are fantastic. House is a buddies,
But we get to enjoy it!!

I have always wondered -- guess you guys in Cali don't have to worry bout Skeeeters with all the openness of the doors and such??:lolhit:

Thats funny, I was thinking the same thing when I was looking at those pics!

Well, the skeeters are around but not horrible. The river flows at about 5 mph towards lake havasu so water isn’t still for their eggs. Few here got some bites night before last. But last night there was a breeze so I think it kept the bugs from being around too much. I will say, the bugs ain’t like back east. Way Manageable. Usually keep the sliders closed at night to keep the moths and other flying bugs out but when there’s a breeze they’re less apt to be hanging around.

In the Summer the bugs can't land anywhere, They fry as soon as they touch down! :cool-smiley-011:

Little boating yesterday. Hung with Dan (H2O TOIE). Then a little tepanyaki chef on the water in front of the house last night. Good time.

Running down river while out in havasu a couple weeks ago.

Thanks a lot Tank. I now have a banana in my pocket!

😂😂

TMI Eddie!

Hahaha.. I noticed that too. There was people sitting down in the cabin on the starboard side. :snide:

hah, I thought I saw that also

Had like 4 adults and 6 kids on board! LOL

Who says Cigarettes don't have much cockpit/cabin room!!!! LOL....you got yourself a nice set up out there! Boat looks great!

Thanks Kreed! Yeah, we had a big group all week. Buddies boat actually broke down on Saturday, so we left it at the Pirates Bar dock down river and everyone jumped on our boat to run back to the house. 16 people on board for a run back up river about 15 miles :faint2:

holy grey hound bus! That’s cool though, saved the day another probably still topped out..

actually here’s a quick video of us running back to the house. This is with everyone on board. Lol scarab running with us.

nice day on the pacific. Tied up to buddies carver near the beach in front of our house. Ran up to Ventura along the coast. Did a few harbor cruises. Great day. If these kids would get up we’ll go do it again. Lol
