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
 

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:

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
