late start to season
 
4 Attachment(s)
finally got on the water Aug 9, after discovering several broken valve springs back in may, we ended up pulling both motors & going through them completely, got them back Aug 7 & dropped them in & headed straight to Put-In-Bay for the weekend! Blew a drive on the way home :( , put spare on & was back in the water in a couple hours... anyways I ended up with a fresh pair n/a 557's , we have put on over 10 hours in 2 weeks.. I hope this nice weather continues around the great lakes, We hit metro beach this past weekend & overnighted with the kids, motors are running great hit 88 on GPS , hoping for a 90MPH run before the season is up :evilb:

I was running P5X 29's , but have had 2 drive failures in roughly 60 hours of use, so until I get some upgraded drives, I went back to Labbed 32P B1's

Nice picture of the kid's Looks like the little guy is having fun :panda:

Glad you were able to get it back together for some good times with the family. That is what this whole boating thing is all about.

Yeah no doubt. Everyone says it has been dead out this year. Fall runs are the best, maybe see ya around...

I think it's done for southern Ohio rain most of the week. High of 59 Saturday. But what do the weather people really know.
