absolutely! Looks way nicer now I think.

it spent most of its life in LOTO. Ron built it new in 99 and it was in so cal for about 4 years. Then went to havasu to James Safa for a couple years. Then to Havasu and bounced around a few owners second to last owner was a Dr and dumped 350k into a restore / update via central power and rigging. Who I happen to be wearing today on our way out to havasu now for the poker run :D

I have an extra covered slip in my dock (for a boat that doesn’t exist yet), you can store it there for free, I’ll run your boat on weekends I’m there you know just to make sure it’s running well each week for whenever you come. 😂

I appreciate that!! I’d take you up on it but the pace we rented in the PBC bay has twin covered slips. 😁👍

looking forward to seeing you out there!!

Not cigarette boating but boating none the less. Impromptu jumped in the whaler this morning and headed to Anacapa island with wife and her paddle board. Insane out there. The photo of the anchor on the sea floor is 35’ deep!

huge caves that went all the way through to other side. Is like a different planet out there. Huge pod of dolphins on the way out too.

Any day on the water is a good day!

When we were out at Supercat, boat started having problems firing and then when fired, would run super rough under 1500 RPM. Over 1500, ran flawless. Also was running a bit rich at idle. So, sent it to the shop....Whelp, Carb rebuild time. :picard1: Prayers it's all done and ready to rock before we pull out headed for LOTO June 13th!!
