New Boat
 
That's my friend Jeff's newly purchased Lightning.
Nice boat......
He's probably on his way out to Wells Street.
What does your boat look like?
I have the White Lightning - Red stripes
You probably have seen me around.

35lightning,
Post a picture. I'm sure I have seen you out there. We use to boat out of Hammond. The last couple of years we turned back into river rats and launch out of Alsip. Your buddies boat is nice. I had Cigwillie from the board on my boat Saturday for the Poker Run. He especially liked the name.:D :D

This is our boat. No name yet.

Nice boats! Hey Candyman, why don't you call it "Eye Candy"?

MIdnightRider 07-15-2002 04:58 PM

Was that the 42' that was OSO classifieds for awhile, a 91' if I remember. Did you see that article on that 32 that hid the pier in Muskegon. He was from our marina, thats too bad, he was pretty young and very proud of that boat. And I would be lying if I had never made that run from Musk to GH after a few totties ie Midnight Rider. But I have grown a little older, and just a bit smarter. Thank the Lord none of my stupid boat anticts never caused me or anyone else harm, (I cant say the same for snowmobiles though, long story, but I will always have that scar on my head). Midnight:cool:

I like it!! You always expect the girls to come up with good ideas!
Thanks,

MIdnightRider,
Where were you? I sort of figured you would be checking out the run. I have plans this coming Saturday and can't go boating. :(
You guys should have a great weekend. I guess I owe you one after that beautiful Saturday you provided us with when you were at the wedding. :p

I saw your boat at New Buffalo last weekend.
We took a spin over there to watch the poker run boats.
There were quite a few 35lightning's
I have a lot of friends out of Hammond.
Myself......well.......I boat out of the ditch.....
Works for me as my boat is only a couple of miles down the street from where I live.
I'll post a picture of my old girl(the boat!) ASAP.


:cool: :) :cool:

Mark,
Heard any good Rumors lately!
Dan

candyman35 07-16-2002 09:36 PM

Mark,
I saw my boats big brother at the PR. "Quick Deliveries" Bob was having some fun with the "King"! It was fun to watch them for a few seconds before they disappeared out of view.

I love to watch almost as much as playin tag with other boats myself.

Im waiting to make that rumor offical!

Mr. Rampage...what do you have to say for yourself???

MIdnightRider 07-17-2002 09:49 PM

Too Bad your out this weekend CandyMan. They do say its bad luck not to name your boat. I have spent several days now flushing out my Port motor, headers off, valve covers off, plugs, oil, filter. I had a header leaking water into the motor. Had it fixed and it is a s good as new and the motor is fine. Coast Gaurd is two weekend from this, are you in, or are you out. It will be a blast. We'll set you up if you come. And is the King, "Good to be King", that boat is sweet. I dont think I would bother trying to lock horns with him. Midnight:cool:

candyman35 07-18-2002 12:02 AM

MIdnightRider,
I haven't named a boat yet! Quick Deliveries is a 96 42' twin of mine, same graphics. The boat has triple 525's and use to run in the low 90's. I don't know if he has played with it. You no how fast the triple engine boats accelerate. The King is definitely faster but he couldn't walk away from the Fountain from 20 to 90. Man did that sound good. I don't know about CG Fest. I guess I probably won't know until that weekend. If I'm going to be there I'll let you know. Are you guys heading over for the Air Show?
Dan

MIdnightRider 07-18-2002 12:29 AM

I will most likely hit Saugutuck this weekend, then be in Grand Haven the Next two after for Coast Gaurd. I am going to have people in, out, and around a bit the next several weeks. If you come it will be fun, I would like to give you a ride. The engines dont look like much, "we spent the money on the inside, not the outside" said the old owner. The builder told me he built the biggest most reliable set-up he could for someone who couldn't change a spark plug. And he is right, they have run great, and just sound unbelievable. I still catch wood eveytime I fire it. But I agree with you on the pull. Out of the hole to 5800RPM that boat does not let up. If I hit at 4000 RPM it will set you back in the seat. There are faster boats out there, I have not met one in my area yet, LOL, but you better bring it all when we go to lock horns. It's really fun at about 4500r's, because that is where allot of boats are to the wood. And you just run with them for a bit, and they think they really got a race on their hands, then you open the hatch's and throw a couple a more logs on the fire and, bye bye! It's more fun then anything I have ever owned. Midnight:cool:
