I think his reference to "Bird" is the old floating one. Well I guess that could go either way as well, so lets say it's the boat.

Might be his own Bird he's referring to.

Here you go guys, she been launched. Saturday, late morning, Morristown N.Y. on the St. Lawrence River. I do believe I have beaten Axa into the creek.

A real happy camper, boat ran like a champ. Made a little token rip going past Singer Castle on the way up to the Bay and raised the GPS recall number by 2 mph over last falls test run peak . Have a video of that but can't get it to load. Anyone know how to do that?

Thanks to Axa for the custom embroidered Fountain hat, naturally done by his "Hat Guy", I wore it just for you!

Proof that it actually did run up the river, a water view of HBW in the Bay, only one way to get this shot over the beak. The welcoming party has sworn to back me up, we were actually there in the boat before the 4th of July.

Good for you Pete!! Glad you're liking the new ride. It IS one nice looking Fountain.

Remember though, you've got to put in much earlier to beat us real boaters down on the Pond.

Thanks, it is one sweeeeeeet ride , everything worked perfectly, no issues to deal with at all, solid as a rock at speed. Passed a couple freighters and the thing barely twitched crossing the wakes.

Well I've beat myself by better than two months this year. You only got me by a week! 5PM and Rippem are still in a barn, and Axa has a boat with no motors, one motor that runs, and another motor in pieces. I definitely qualify for the most improved launch date award.

Hey Pete,

Your new ride looks great !!!!
Looks like you're definiatley the first on the River .....

Now I have a question ..... was it the freighters barely twitched going over the waves passing you or was it you twiching while the boat barely twitched over the waves.

LOL ..... LOL .....

Just kidd'in ......

Glad to see everything worked out for you .....

Jeff

Ragged....Boat looks great! I see that you launched up in my neck of the woods. How was the ramp? When I took out last year it was a 2-3 foot jump down to the boat right where your is tied up

Pete,

Excellent! Looks great on the water! Appears Heaters issues weren't totally with his throttle "GUY" after all, number 55 didn't make the Havasu results page on OSS. The Girl smoked all of them, Jenni I believe.
