I must have missed somthing when did the :bsflag: end?

It is time to start having some good old fashion ball busting!
Is everyone on tract to be in the water weather permitting Memorial weekend?

Jeff

Not sure yet Jeff, depends on what Monday or Tuesday bring...Back is killing me. :mad:

Dave

More or less, might fire them up on the hose this weekend, other than that just a hull side wax job and she's good to go. You planing on the Bay for Memorial Day weekend?

Dave, you have to stop lifting all that money you have at one time,smaller bags work better ordid you try installing your motor with out a hoist.:lolhit: p.s. hope your back feels better

As of right now I am ..... I have had quite an interesting spring! All I need to do is put the new battery trays and batteries in and change out my old battery charger for the new one.

As I stated earlier, I won't be able to get up there until saturday night at the absolutely earliest. The good news is that I don't need to get back to work until wednesday.

I should be on track if all goes well this tuesday. I have a "guy" who is going to help me install the new charger.

Jeff

Take your time Dave, you have all summer ..... it isn't worth hurting yourself further.

Besides Fountain Boy will be licking his chops to take another run at you and the apparent "King of the River" Hot Stepper.

Is that new blower going to fit under there?

:poopoo:

I didn't mean to throw that out there ....

Jeff

Lets see,,,,, how does a bean-counter who has a "guy" to do everything for him, and who spends his winter on the Mexican Riviera hurt his back??:evilb:

Something about lifting some big bad ass carbs:drink: Or was that watching his carbs??

Hi Bob long time.How is everyone?All ready for summer if it ever gets here.

Every one is good!! Been a little busy with the twins but it is all coming together. Hope to have them fired this week end if all gos well. And it was not my cast heads that hurt Daves back. It was my back that hurts over that:drink:

understood,did you have a problem or you just doing some prevenative maintenance.

Man you guys are BRUTAL!!

Mike, yes the bags are heavy...not it!

Jeff, The Carbs on the blowers seem to clear Ok...not it!

Bird, Mexican Riveria...only thing I lifted there were drinks...not it!

As for having a "Guy" for everything, Yes I do have "Guys and Gals" that get me what I need and want, but I'm still the ONLY "Guy" who installs the things my "Guys and Gals" get for me! As for the back, well you all know how hard I work to keep my body that Adonis like creature that I am... I did it working out on Thursday. Pulled something pretty good. It really put a stop to my progress. I hope to keep pluging and try to get to the boat done by the Memorial Day. I'll keep you all posted!

Dave

Hey, you started this ball busting thread!!!

Hmmmm,,,,, yes,,,,,,,,,,Adonis,,,,,,,,,,,that's the first thing that came to my mind.:rolleyes:

How's the Debs Bob??? I'm looking forward to some cold nights on the boat.

Your motors look a little light man! Some vital parts are missing. We've all been there. Just another cost of boating. Hope it all comes together nicely.

I'm sure you know this, but, pay particular attention to the intake-to-head/block joint. It's a sure-fire leaker if you don't do it right. I milked a cam because of that!!!! Frig the goofy little rubber gasket they give you. RTV it, let it set up a bit, then bolt 'er down.

Adonis on the water

looks like everyone is at home if my count is right it was like 6 or 7 new posts today. All the boats are nice and dry. Dave by the way after a certain age your should check with the Doc before going into a vigorous excersing routine:drink: I checked with mine and he said limit the lifting to 12 ounces :drink: And yes I'm still King of the River!:evilb: hey and the evil little guy matches my boat

Hey Pete how many times have you hooked that thing up to the hose now? I think I saw 8 posts in regards. Oh I figured it out you're trying to get rid of the old gas in prep for the big run:drink:

Debs are both good.... and warm:picard1:

Yea..I have not added up the bills yet:eek:

I do have the RTV thing covered...I like to read alot on OSO and I do have a "guy" that gave me that info:drink:

I will call you later :evilb:

Got your call! Figured you were pretty busy...:eek:

Bird got on the phone with me and we just couldn't stop.

Lots of :bsflag: going back and forth!


Glad every thing got there for you. Call me when you can and give me an update!

Dave

Lets put it this way....I wanted to run with the big boys so I had to "WHIPP" the twins into shape over the winter:drink:

Hey Bob, are the crutches a part of the required extras in the boat this year?

If you did I think you might have a good chance of taking my title away, as long as you show up

Zero! Decided to do a little paint touch up on the drives today instead. I'm sure they will run when they need to, old gas and all.

Looks like more than a valve spring change to me.:eek:

WTF are you doing there man?

Hey I didn't give you permission to use a picture of me on my first and last Fountain ..... that little boat still makes me laugh .... I think it was a 35 Lighting ....... If remember this was when I was taking you guys thriugh the lost channel on the Canadian side ..... I can't remember it was a long time ago when Pete and Reggie where hangin on the the race circuit trying to figure out how to beat "Hot Stepper" .....

:coolcowboy:

Jeff

:drink:

This thread has seen more action in the last couple of days then it has all year so far.
Looks like everyone has come out of hibernation.

Have any of you guys heard of any changes with regards to going to Canada by boat..... sounds like it is going to be a big pain in the azz this summer.

Passport , I-68 , Nexus , fingerprint, breast dimensions, etc.

What do really need other then a credit card? Anyone know?

I have been reading on some of the other threads and it is all speculation .....

Jeff

Not a Fountain, no beak! Has that hard to miss stub nosed Formula profile. Appears to be powered by Subway, I bet your "Motor Guy" was named was Tiny.


I was thinking you and Stepper should man up and have at it. Throw in a few Sea Rays and you would have a real Offshore Challenge. :lolhit:

This year I have a goal to stay upright and out of all boat lifts when not drinking.....But the crutches will be in the back of the truck just in case the hip has a flare up.... Yes I do still have them:drink:

Had a problem with the bilge switch and the only way I could get to it was pull the heads:drink:

Nice, a fourth boat in the race for river king.:drink:

Jeff,last i heard all you need is the enhanced drives license for $50 or pass port for $110

If you were a little fella like myself you could have slid right in there and changed it out without all the extra work.

Did you figure you could reach down thru one of the sixteen holes and reach it?

King of the river shoot out 2 different weeks this year first one will be June 27th thru July 4th, second chance at the crown Aug 8th thru the 15th. Any takers bringem on:nhl_fight:, same rules as last year. As with last year we should plan on an exclusive guided tour to places unkown, followed by stops at the normal locations. Maybe I can talk Allen into going and he can guide us down the inside (southern route) back from singers.
:drink::drink::drink::drink:

So the boat well is okay to fall into while drinking:eek:? Cherly and I both got a chuckle on the fact that you still have them. :drink:

Hey jeff is this the video of the same boat
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BO6E...eature=related

I think you're on drugs! :eek: You and Twins! Lots of talk from a pair of 60 mph racers.

How much are the tickets? I want to watch the great spectacle. Better yet can I be the Pace Boat? If I promise not to start both engines.

You forgot to read the fine print: same rules as last year:drink: Although the ticket thing could make us a buck or two - might even make a good donation to a local A-bay youth group. what should we charge $ by the boat, $ by the person
