Summer is coming!
 

Well got the boat out of storage and took it into Double R to get ready for the season, very excited. Also got a new tow vehicle, works great, 2006 Ford F-250 diesel.

Anyone else in the north country getting geared up?
lets see some pics.

What does winterize mean??? Is that when you wear a long sleeve shirt? :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Summer is coming!
 

I'm almost ready to splash. Can't WAIT :evilb:

Re: Summer is coming!
 

Winterize means my boat will last twice as long as yours-
U hoser :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Summer is coming!
 

A couple more weeks for me!

Re: Summer is coming!
 

Next weekend I hope. Just gotta fill that big square hole in my dash on the left side. :p

Re: Summer is coming!
 

You're in Wisconson, your boat will last 10 times longer!!!! Oh well, it beats shoveling the driveway!!! HAA HAA

But hey with all the Manatee zones around here, swimming pools included, I should be ok on the engine wear. :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Summer is coming!
 

I had my boat out for a ride 2 or 3 weeks ago. I didn't have half the upholstery in, but i got out on the lake! Wearing a hat, gloves, and a carhartt jacket :cool:

Re: Summer is coming!
 

I don't shovel either :p Sit in my nice warm Dodge with the tunes on and a cold one in the lap.

But I'd rather live in FL again :evilb: Lived in Orlando for 4yrs back in early 80's :D

Trying to move to Ft. Walton beach.........if I can get an F'n job over there, now that's the place to have a Fountain, visited there last week and now I'm "homesick"

Re: Summer is coming!
 

A 35 seems like a good sized boat...but what is that thing next to it ?

Re: Summer is coming!
 

the thing next to it is a 46 Skater supreme with 850 Diesels. It has a full cabin and everything, absolute monster! Can't wait to get out on the water.

Hey Pull My Trigger, where are you on this thread, thought you would have already been on saying that you have been boating already!

Mines still in storage......wasthinking about getting it out this weekend but as you know it rained like chit all weekend.......the spot where I park the boat in the driveway is still pretty soft......plus Im building a 40x50 shop for the boat this summer and the boat will be in the way during the excavating stage......and Im an A/C contractor so its a busy time of year.......alot going on......I'll be a bit yet before I splash


ps....spoke to the aluminum trailer guy........$5400 cdn.....10,000lb tandem......two sets of drum surge brakes............doug

Re: Summer is coming!
 

glad to hear you are busy and by the sounds of the size of the shop, you will have room for my boat next winter!?!?!?!? :drink: not taking it to FLA, they want an extra $1000 for a couple times usage, not worth it.

you going to do Raymonds run on the 10th of june?

double r is sending my trailer in this week to be completely re-done, going to cost about $1200, so i am going with that route. not sure how long i am going to keep the boat so spend as little as possible.

take care

Re: Summer is coming!
 

the shop will be pretty full come next fall with the boat, cars and all my junk.......I got stuff all over the country :rolleyes: ......be nice to finally (after 3 yrs) get it all under one roof and in my own yard:cool:

We'll see about Raymonds run.......we have lots of time to see about that......I'll be here! :D

I have new 400hp smallbocks to put in the boat but with all thats going on I dont think I'll get them in until late in the season if at all this year.......when I pull them I want to take my time and re do the bilge all nice and white in the new shop!!.....that will be my first project!!........but I want Raymond to install the new motors and set them up........so for this year Im going to run the current (stock) motors.......although Im going to put on the new polished Revolution Marine exhausts......never know I might hit 66mph gps!!! :eek: :rolleyes: :drink:
