Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

I'll be working on keeping the engine compartment warm tonight. :(

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Getting up close and personal? :eek:

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

I do love my boats! The dogs will be sleeping in the house tonight whether Debbie likes it or not. They are my babies. :)

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

You could wrap the Donzi engine in your "warm and fuzzy" bunny outfit. :D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

43 and 3/4's and counting. :D :D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

I don't get rain days??

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

I'm going to concentrate on the Donzi first, I want it to be ready for the Mt Dora Antique Show when we go there with the Donzi boys. I AIN'T taking the fishboat this year. They made me park in the weeds. :(

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Sorry, no, rain days do not give "extensions". Let me know when the Mt. Dora show is, I'd drive up for that. R

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Here's some info on Mt Dora.

Coming soon, the Mount Dora Antique Boat Show is a do not miss event.. Rooms go quickly, book now if you are even contemplating going, cancel later if you have to.

Dates this year are March 17 - 20... Last year we had a great turnout. A bunch of cool Donzi's drew crowds wherever they went. Well, OK, cept Cuda who brought a fishboat with a BIMINI, but anyway, we still had fun.. Heck, Fishboy even ran the entire event, that alone was worth the price of admission

The SeaDogs will be there in Force. Dockage available as usual, dock party Saturday nite, and some beautiful running for all.

Check out the official Mount Dora website for lodging info... Others here can pipe in and help you choose a hotel also...

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

"The envelope please.....

And the winner is:::::::::::::JON............

Or is the "Bergelar" "in the same boat" ?????? :D :D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

46, almost halfway to one hundred. :D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

That is the problem NON of us are in the same boat...... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Jon, you should pull your 18 down here to the Mt Dora get together. You'll love it.

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

What Lake does this Mt. Dora Donzi boat event take place on? Can you list the Mt. Dora website. I want to check this out on my Florida Gazeteer.

Do they have noise laws there? I'm noisy now :drink:

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Russ, it's on the Harris Chain of Lakes. I don't think there are any noise cops, that's the same chain we had the Toys for Tots run, the last time Hell Bent was on the water. :(


Here's some info from the Donzi.net site.

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

You'll be pleased to hear I'm going to take a look at the boat today. I have some paper work to do this morning, then I'll either get Debbie, or my second cousin, Jared who is staying here to give me a hand with the boat.

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

I guess if I decide the peice of starter is wedged in the flywheel and the engine needs to be pulled, I'll trailer it over to Performance Plus in Clearwater and have Nick do it. I can't find anyone over here I trust. Nick had to do the exact same thing on this boat when Bill owned it, so he is familiar with the process. I guess that high compression engine is hard on starters.

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

I'm also thinking about just going ahead and send the Donzi to Nick tomorrow when Debbie has to go to St Pete to pick up her son.

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Well, because of Russ's contunual nagging, I got out and tried to turn the motor by hand. No go. It won't turn in either direction, I think the starter chunk is hung in the flywheel.

I'm sending the Donzi with Deb tomorrow to PPM and have it fixed. When it's done, I'll send her with the Formula, drop it off, and bring back the Donzi. I just can't find anyone in this area I trust. Nick has done work for me before, and I couldn't ask for better service, and he's familiar with the Formula.

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Maybe I should just get Nick on a retainer. :eek: :(

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Now now it's not nagging, it's just gentle persuasion, you know like what I had to listen to for 379 days.

However, in honor of Cuda being Cuda I have decided to credit you one day so the count stands now at 47 rather than 48. :D :drink: :D

I think we should start making predictions about what the "Outlaw Count" will end at.

Jon, would you be kind enough to be first to "predict"?????? :D :D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Now it's 48 :D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

hmmmmmmmmm........................................ ..................................:D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Halfway to 100. :D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

I did do some sanding on the 20 today, does that count?

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Certainly, if you were hanging over the side while it was up on plane. :D :D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Give Cuda a break...he's been taking naughty pics :evilb: Maybe you have forgotten Russ...that picture taking is very time consuming :rolleyes:

Hey Mr Cuda,
Next run is fast approaching, you can ride with me...fishboat & bimini :eek:

Day 51 .....................& counting!

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Should I bring the squid, or would you rather have sardines? :confused:

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

As Johno "tags" in. :D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

He's a worse non-boater than you! :eek:

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Sticks and stones may break our bones,
but words shall never hurt us....:D :D

Mine's running, Johno's new boat delivered this week will be running, now we need to get Cuda running.....:drink: :drink:

And ain't talking bout no Harley......:D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

My fishboat is ready for duty right now! :D

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

I'll "tag" in again :evilb:
The fishboat has outboards & a bimini... :rolleyes: Maybe the OB's make it the reliable rig it is...no must be the bimini.
Day 52 :eek: Fishboy!

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Hmmmm, I smell a "quandry" here. Johno, do we let the Cooderman off the hook by his fishboat being ready, or do we stick to our guns and make it one of the Formulas??????? I'm open to suggestions.

I think we need to stick to the Formulas. What do you think????

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Russ,
Are you feeling okay? After Cuda started all this "day 367" story, no way! I just hope he gets Big Yellow running soon before summer is over....plus I wanna blow his swim platform off when I pass him in a fishboat :eek:

Cuda,
I await your comment or comments!

Re: Important Message about Cuda
 

Okay, I agree, it's gotta be "Big Yellow". I just feel that maybe he's feeling too much pressure, you know, both Formulas down, the V-Rod had to go back to the shop just after he got it home, he's still nervous about his Harley, probably still can't get his nose out of all the naughty pix he took of Deb, and of course there's always the threat of "snake" on his mind, not to mention work and upcoming bike week. I mean the man is close to being "maxed out". :D :D

Plus we've had these cold snaps and we all know how that upsets the delicate equilibriaum of the "Cuda"....:D :D
