Earlier in the thread there was talk about pulling the boats for the winter
well to those of you who did nananana yesterday 81 degrees - made a nice 100-120 mile run from lexington down to the north channel and back to port huron didn't even need to bundle up.
Put on the lab finished prop and hit 68mph 
The weather should be there today and tomorrow if your lucky enough to still be afloat

81 is too warm......I'm going to wait till it gets down around 30 and spits some snow to put it back in for a last blast. Should be good to go around the end of November.

Next chapter................ The Biotch is out of the water and likely done for the season. Went to HBW today and had Bob pull it out for a final cleaning then Steve and I drained it down and put the anti-freeze to the engines. Did take a final rip down to Iornside and back, came back into the speed zone a little hot, just hated to back it down and call it quits.
Winterizing these closed cooling 525s is a breeze, gotta love all this new high tech chit.

Is that the one where you have a sharder valve that you attach a hand pump too and fill it with air? Mine has this set up, but looking at all the lines and the routing I question the ability to get all of the water out so I opt for the antifreeze treatment. Although if I were to trust it I could save about 80 bucks.
