nice air...

Im going to school at Potsdam, ill have the 27 on the St. Lawrence in te spring id be happy to show you how to launch it like that

Ok so if you get these lessons, I suggest you get them before the warranty is up on the SEI

Get some air time in a Cesna first.

Tuck it in before you stuff it lol

Yeaah.. no kidding, but the helo was about 10-15' (+-) away, so it was just for a photo op.

I hear ya, weve all done it

Yea the river is deffiantly going to be a regular stop this summer, you go up to lake of the isles, heard piction is a good time nvr been there tho

TripleG, don't do anything to the boat! I can't tell from this thread if you own it or are just looking at it, but it sounds like this/will be your first boat. Get used to it with the 350sbc and alpha combo before you do anything. No need for big power, bravo, k-planes, etc yet. Just my $.02 and I was there not too long ago. Search the young owners thread I started and get an idea of what other people started with. A 22 Avanti is a REAL good start.

yea i put a down payment on it so once it comes out of storage and i hear run and drive it, its as good as mine, proably just going to leave it alone for a while and just enjoy it. I've grown up on a boat, and used my dad's 96 21ft chapparal with 350 and alpha pretty much every weekend these past 2 summers. But I hear what your saying, and yes i didnt think would be a bad start for being 21
