Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Perfect conditions going by a few Cigs on the Detriot river on a poker run. Yeah, baby!

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Nothing like a little encouragement from your crew! :D

Now maybe with a little labbing on the props ... :evilb:

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

I see you got your new camera finally. Even figured out how to do the trick photography :D Nice. Glad to see you're on the water again. Had mine out today and couldn't get it over 72. Water was glass, cabin filled up, 3/4 fuel, one bottle of unopened Tangueray, and a 3/4 full head tank.

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Oh yeah, my wife was there too!

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Very nice.....:drink: :drink:

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

I don't know if I would go there, buddy! She does make the boat look better!

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Better take care of both of those!

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

The real problem. Get that thing out in some 3-5's on Lake Erie and we'll make her talk! :drink:

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

You mean that photoshop thing?!? :D

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

I'm ready! I need to install the prefilters on the FloScan meters (Starboard is picking up some junk in the fuel and the gauge quits) and replace the hydraulic fitting for the PS. That's gonna be a PITA. My arms are too short to reach the fitting. I'm not gonna give up though. Then I'm ready.

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

...I'm a Tangueray guy myself. ;) for many years.

My relationship with Charles Tangueray & Sons has fallen off a bit in the last couple years.
Though my relationship with John Labbatt and his sons continues... :D

Tangueray I came to find, is my personal "poison" in that I can put alot away and still function quite well...but I'm really much more hammered than it seems, 'ya know?

3-4 oz of T over ice in a large frozen clear mug, two or 3 good chunks of lemon and run around the rim...fill the little remaining void with Seven. Got it down to a science. :cool:

Kevin, you get over this way we'll have to quench a relaxing day's thirst over a bottle of that fine Gin. :drink:
I do prefer it over Beefeater.

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

looks good Chris!!!

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Thanks Dyno,

Waiting to see your's soon!

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Be careful, you keep talking like that and this may have to be moved over to the OSO Uncesored! I should be able to get over thay way sometime in Mid to Late August. We'll keep those relationships going! :drink:

Sounds like you got everything done on the boat. Now what?

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Yes the boat is ready!
all systems go
detailed stem to stern
all gear aboard...

going down to the marina tomorrow to set up the slip

will put the boat in maybe Thurs or next Mon., as I have to work this weekend (Fri., Sat., Sun.)

another 8 days off starting Monday. :cool:

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Exciting. Hope you get some good weather. PIC's please :D

Have fun.

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

when you assemble more definitive plans to come over, call MaryEllen at Hutchinsons Boat Works in Alex Bay 315-482-9931. She can most likely hook you up with a transient slip in our boathouse. The more advance booking the better. It's a nice facility, good people. I've been there 15 years. :)

go to the 1000 Islands forum, or Hutchinsons web site and check out the Hutchinsons River/Castle webcam. You can just see the end of the boathouse, to the right, over the travelift. 40 slips. Gas pumps out on the end. Full service Merc facility.

Easy two block walk to Downtown in one direction or the nieghborhood store in the other. :cool:

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Rippem,
Thanks for the info. I'll get with my wife and find some dates that work for us as well as the boathouse. Before I book it I'll see if you're available to meet up. As I mentioned previously, I really enjoyed that area in our little 19' Mastercraft, but was a little nervous in knowing I was in unfamiliar territory. Took it all the way to Boldt Castle (?) with 8 people in it :eek: It's always nice to have a local there showing the ropes, as well as placing a face with a name. I'm sure that having a bigger boat this time will make the experience that much more enjoyable as well. I'll keep you posted.

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

I have most of the month of August off. :D

More than happy to show you around. The area is really large, and some boating on Lake Ontario is a must. :cool:

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

We'll have to say "Hi" to the relations when I get there. Looking forward to it.
KC

Re: Not pegged, but not bad!
 

Rip,

You might want to call about your slip. Rumour has it there's a Donzi in it :eek: :eek: I believe you are on the transient list. We did pull up your carpet and stored it nicely in the pavillion. :D Mich likes the coolness of the dock boards. The month of July we have a slip in the International Marina in Oswego. After Harborfest we'll be headed up to the bay. We'll have to have a July rendevous to Sandy Pond. The lakes been extremely flat the last couple weeks.
