We didn't go to the Barefoot Saturday.

It was cool putting around until they finished their lunch.
The ride home Sunday was , ahhh-hmmm , kinda big .... everyone made it back safe and sound ... no breakdowns.
Question - What would a lunch run to Oceanside Harbor be like? Any docks to use for a couple of hours?

Re: Bravos and new TS Top Guns
Sounds like you guys had a good time. I saw the Midway for the first time on the water, and it looks awesome, we will have to do the tour.
O'side is a small harbor and dock space is limited, but there are guest docks in front of the Jolly Roger. When you enter the harbor make a left and the Jolly Roger will be right in front of you. There is probably enough dock space for about 4 boats and you might be able to side tie as well. There are guest slips on the same dock, but you have to pay the Harbor Master to dock in these. Talk to you later.

Re: Bravos and new TS Top Guns
We don't mind paying the Dockmaster as long as there is somewhere to dock after running that far.

Re: Bravos and new TS Top Guns
Looks like a mean crew.
BTW: the slips at O'side are 30 bucks a day and that gets you the slip until 11:00 the next day. The Harbor Master Office will be right in front of you as you pull in the harbor, across the street from the Harbor Patrol boats. Let me know if you guys are running down

Look at G's old cafe he ran that thing tabs up and drives out and it never seemed to porpoise. Schulte's old Cafe you need to keep both fingers on the tabs at all times while working the drives
Larry was with us in havasu this weekend and his Cafe (BIG power and bravos) blew by us as we came back from the sand bar and that thinkg skimmed like a cat! Smooth!Are the guns the same way? All handle diffent? Cig pulls them out late or early from the mold or doesn't sand them down enough or gets a hook it one or whatever and the "attitude" is changed???

The majority of the bravo Guns porpoise because they took away the transmission, the motors are back further, and the center of gravity is knocked off. When the Top Gun came out it was made for a transmission.
The Top Gun stopped porpoising when the Twin Step bottom came out.
Hope this helps.

Re: Bravos and new TS Top Guns
Someone made the point a few posts ago about porpoise depending on water conditions. Feel free to correct/elaborate/add your experinece, But it seems to me that a lot of the traditional 24* V bottom boats will tend to porpoise in glass calm water. As soon as you get into some good 1' chop, the porpoise tends to fade away.
