Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

Well what's going on here ? You buying Rip's ride or looking for the next Donzi ? For a while there I thought you were somewhat interested in something with a beak. Still have not seen that trade show at Aqua Mania, I've been checking.

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

You know Mich's been lookin' to get onboard IMAGER for years now. As I've always said, I'd rather go 70 for a few hundred hours than go 80 four hours at a time. :eek: I heard the beak lost it's last race to the boathouse this year. The way you boys come in on one side, we're gonna need to hold a docking for the impaired road-eo. :D BTW, I really need to change my Avatar. What better to do at 3AM?

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

courtesy of the prevailing wind a little of him does everytime he walks by. :eek:

I've got it better than the lab-loving beaker tho. :D

OUCH >>>>>>>>>>>>>sounds like you get it son. :eureka:

:cool: :cool:

get paid to surf... ;)

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

Hey now....


I went A LOT more then that this year. Round out the total hours to 70!! :D



Not too bad considering the issues! Thinking next year, I'll just cruise it at 50 and get that awesome 1.5 mpg. More $$$ for :drink:

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

5PM,
Now don't be comparing me to the Senator. The failure was the anode behind the prop. It broke loose and got wedged, tore the carrier up and broke out the drain plug, lost some lube and set off the alarm. Came back on one to try to prevent further damage, not knowing at the time what had happened. The noise when in gear was the anode remains losing the war with the stainless prop.

Besides if you don't operate on one occasionally you lose your touch.

And RIP they are golden retrivers, fair haired furballs.

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

labor? :p



idling home on one engine does positively effect miles per gallon :evilb:

Ragged still doesn't care about cruise economy, and it really only counts to quote it if you can do that kind of MPG any/every day of the summer.

Ragged, sorry to hear of your troubles. That's messy, both the Retriever hair and that lower.

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

The 70 hours was behind the wheel of the twin engine pickup up and down 81. :D :D

I bet Formula anodes don't fall off like that, do they guys??

Rip, check your email, you owe me a reply..........

This year for Halloween we're thinkin' of puttin Mich in one of the Fountain t- shirts with some bling around his neck for the new avatar. :D

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

now that right thar' is funny :drink:


my availability is up in the air 'till later today. I'll let you know this PM.
Is the sewing circle chattering about this yet? :p

now that would be :cool:

Re: 353 Performance numbers

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

Thanks bern...

this thread has been officially, and with permission, confiscated by the Dept. of Boathouse Ball-Busting. :argue:



I'm partial to fair-haired furballs myself... :drink:

though lately a steady diet of brunettes have been keeping me afloat :doggy:

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

NO comparison.....How 'bout last year? 1 day of boating in July then NO more until September? Failure?

:D :D :D :D :D

Dave

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

yea...me too. :eek:

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

rebuilding an engine several times a summer...

EXPENSIVE


The Senator's buddy posting a pic of him dressed like J.D. on the internet...


PRICELESS



:evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

Careful now, Mich may not be able to pull that off. Way too much hair, and Reggie dosen't have any tail ( except in the mag adds ) , however you might be able to find a spot back there to tuck the tail in out of sight.

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

though thoroughly entertaining...

somehow I expected more from you Mr B. :snide:

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

Last year is/was last year.............................

Boat house rules require that all topics of ball busting be current issues, the one year rule shall apply. Unless by majority old issues are grandfathered in, or if after careful consideration by the Rules Chairman an exemption is granted. As Chairman, I rule that single events are limited to the current, or within the year eligibility rule. Hovever, multiple or repeat occurences are eligible for extensions of up to one full year for each and every time the occurence comes up during the initial one year period.

As for last year as it applies to myself, I believe that your claims of no boating are falsely stated. Due to my loaner program, thanks to the High Commander, I was able to spend weekends enjoying the cushy suroundings of numerous pleasure craft. Spending many evenings in the airconditioned comfort of a Sea Ray Sundancer watching TV on the flat screen, a sound night's sleep in the ample berth, in anticipation of that hot cup of microwave coffee the following AM, all while knowing that I would be able to dress for the day while standing up.




What was this thread started about?

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

ahhh...there's the spin I was looking for >>>>

so much spin I'm feeling a little queasy...where's that bucket?

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

You're to quick for your own good, you missed some.

Buckets are allowed only on Formulas, the Fountain manual advises against their use for anything other than cleaning products. There was one hidden on my boat, by an individual who shall remain unnamed, and that has been removed. The offender is requesting a pardon from Reggie on the basis that it was just a blonde moment of weakness.

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

nobody but bern knows.

But we have his permission to run away with it. :)

and I don't foresee it getting deleted :p

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

you can do that in an Eliminator can't you?





















you're right I did miss some... :D

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

who's bern ?

Great !!! The new TI BB Thread.

Senatorial priveledge !?!?

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

exactly the point. :p


I decipher that...

I'll see your acronym
and raise you three derogatory inuendos.

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

Bern,
You have any pics where is this boat? There is a 502 boat 1/2
block from me been for sale since he bought it. You know thats to long for 5 class and to short and slow for 4 class. :D
and I have a triple axle trailer in your back yard I might part with once my 353 gets to the new lift.
JIm

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

We could always take this to the Fountain section...


Technically, this year is over then....Right?

So be it. Let's start a new thread with new info!

Hey Rip,

I have that same picture in my wedding album! Cool!

Dave

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

I'm confused, Donzilla, NJ Fastech, Fountain avatar??? And your boat is a..............bayliner?

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

Bagliner ? From your new avitar your new ride appears to be a furry four legged craft whose tail appears to have tucked somewhere out of sight. I'd would have left it out and used it like a rudder. No insult to you intended Mich, you can't chose your parents, they just miss Elvis.

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

Much like the aforementioned pee buckets --- not allowed in Beakland.

Not until December 31st, as per the rules --- did you by chance repeat last falls Finger Lake Failure ?

No need, as we have successfully highjacked this one, and none of us can mysteriously make it disappear.

Not so sure that I would admitt that, unless I was looking to get a role in the new release " North of Hazzard - Boss Rocks The Bay "

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

They often say an avatar is the sincerest form of flattery, sort of a hero worship kinda thing. Or it could just be some sick twisted hidden desire surfacing.....but who am I, I don't even have a boat and I dress up my dog :stupid:

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

yeeaaa, that's it :o ... I aspire to be a ...




I may be able to help you with the boatlessness... :)

Though I don't have the degree necessary to help you with wanting to dress up the dog...
you don't have a really small Catholic schoolgirl outfit in the house do you? :eek:

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

You are a sicko,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, me too. :D :D

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

Now that's funny!!! :D

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

3rd,

Glad to see they haven't revoked your membership.

Axa,

Your wife left her socks in my bed. :D

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

We did come back for her earrings though.......

Dave

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

was that good mrs. axa or bad mrs. axa?

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

Huh??????

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

5PM,
Was Bad Mrs. Axa good,bad,or so so ? Has this sort of thing been going on in the boathouse ? I know that Axa often has two women on his boat for the nite, I never realized that You and Ms. Kitty were in on it as well. Where does Mich the Elvis Dog fit into the twisted picture ? Is this why Mich likes to hang out down at RIP's porch ? Maybe that's something we really don't need to know ! I'm going to tell you right up front though ----- You dress that dog up to look like Reggie for one of these little partys and I'm going to feel really insulted.

Maybe your new boat should be named "Deliverence" or "Northern Exposure".

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

I wouldn't worry about it Bird. Just keep in mind this guy dresses his dog up to look like Elvis, and has something going on the side with a senator and his wife that involves jewlery and socks. I see a pattern forming here, all summer RIP is looking to get into Mrs. AXA's "cookie tin" and begging for another piece of her "tasty pie". These people are twisted, you got any room down in the pond ? I may need to move.

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

her treats are some f i n e sh!t for sure! ;)


though she loses more jewelry than most own. :D

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

I stay away from treats now myself, that can get you in trouble.

I've noticed that.

Re: 353 Performance numbers
 

:D :D

I too have known a little about that self-indulgent diet. :drink:



I like being free too eat whatever I want. :p
