Labor Day Weekend
 

Anybody interested in a fun run over the Labor Day weekend in Ft. Myers or Naples

I think it is a great idea but I will be in orlando Saturday and Sunday for the Shinedown concert at the house of blues. I will be out on the boat Monday with a group of friends in front of Lani Kia, for the shinedown concert. if you can't tell they are my favorite band.

Anyone else going to the Shinedown concert on Fort Myers Beach Monday Labor Day?

What time does the concert start.

I could be convinced to do a fun run over the weekend. What do you have in mind?

Hey Ben... you have the all time FMO world record for longest time from join date to first post! Glad you decided to jump in.

Post some pictures of your Velocity. Go wild!
:party-smiley-020:

They switched venues from Lani Kai to harbor side event center. So I an open on Monday for something. I will be back in town around 10am and could be on the water by 11am.

We should do a beach get together at Kewaydin or Charley's Pass.

I'm in for Charley's Pass. Maybe stop in Tween Waters on the way back to the river.

Have you ever been to keywadin? It is alot more fun and it would be a great run for monday. Its about an hour from the sanible bridge. Thou two weeks ago I made it back in 26 mintues.......:D

Anyone else thinking about going out on Monday?

My Girlfriend and I will also be out on the water Friday. Anyone else going out on Friday?

I've got a couple of deals I'm trying to finish early and I may have mine out.
Tom

Keywadin sounds like fun. It has been a couple of years since I have been down there. What time do you want to meet at the Sanibel Bridge? Is anyone else boating on Saturday or Sunday? I am having trouble posting pictures of the boat.

Ben if you email me the pix, I'll be happy to re-size and post them for you. jay(at)lettering(dot)net

Same offer goes for you, Tom... so we know who you are!

I will be out on Sunday at Keywaddin but can't fun run yet. I still have another 6 hrs of break in to go on the new motors

Welcome aboard Ben and Tom

Hey Everybody,
Back in town for a while. A Run sounds good.
Still have a couple of bugs to work out, but if nothing else, I can tow the boat down to Naples or the Marco River and run from there to Keywadin.

Welcome to FMO Ben & Tom.

Hey Hans, you the MAN! See you found Craig a place for his boat. Congrats Craig.

For me the earliest I can meet you is around 11am. I am drving back from Orlando that morning. My boat will all ready be in the water. So If I get back into the cape around 9:30 I should be in the boat by 10:30 and to the Bridge by 11. Or I can meet you all down there and we can make the run back togther.

Let me know
Don

Ben, here's your air shot...
hope you don't mind if I tweaked it a little.:cool-smiley-011:

Very nice looking boat... looking forward to seeing it again...

There's a reason I say 'again'...:D

Actually, three reasons.

Great looking boat ! Welcome to FMO, Ben. Look forward to meeting you before too long.:D
Bob

good work, Jay .... like always.

Ben that is a sweet boat. Looking forward to running with you on Monday. Are you trailering or do you have it on a lift? So who all wants to join up for a run down to Keywadin?

Don

Don,
Will you all run all the way down to Little Marco/Capri Pass or come in at Gordon's and take the ICW the rest of the way?

John

It doesn't matter to me either way. It is alot faster to come in from the south at Little Marco/Capri Pass. Two weeks ago I was there and it seemed pleanty deep for any of our boats.
What way would everyone else want to go?

Don

I was just curious as I will probably be going out on Monday and I put in in Naples Bay I will not be able to run with you outside(new motors) but I will look for you all coming down. Definately will be a lot faster to use Little Marco/Capri Pass

John

Thank you for posting the pictures Jay. The boat is currently at the Sanibel Harbor Yacht Club. I am not sure if I will be able to run the boat this weekend. The port motor is going into guardian mode and I have an issue with drive trim sending units. I should know by Saturday if I can make the run. Otherwise, I will be out all weekend in the 220 Velocity.

Well everyone today was great out on the water! I am heading to orlando tomorrow thru monday morning. I am not sure who wants to/is going out on monday down to keywadin. If anyone wants to get together and run down togther give me a call. 239-699-0716.

Have a safe weekend.
Don

Wish we could be there !!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know if we can run all the way to Marco with a 7 month old little girl. She loves the boat, but running that far outside with a 25 foot boat may be a little much for her. That's why we were thinking Charley's Pass, but I'm wondering if the baby sitter would want to work on Labor day, hmm...

If I can find a few of my neighbors to go tommorow I will make the run to Keywayden for sunday. Who else is thinkg of running down.
Who is going to keywayden on Sunday?

Dennis

I may try to make the trip today. I backflushed the intercoolers last night. What time are you leaving.

Hello everyone I have not been on in a while, I had to rebuild my port drive, just got it done and back in the water on Friday only to realize the engine coupler was shot also did not even make it past the no wake zone AHHHH!!!! I will be out today on Bob S. 37ft Active Thunder hope I see some of you.

In other news I am wondering who is going to the races in Key West this year and whether anybody would be interested in organizing a run down there from Marco.

If anyone is out call me on my cell 425-5207 and we can meet up.

BenPayne,
I think I saw you out in front of Charley Pass yesterday. Nice roostertail! Is that the boat that has the 700s in it?
Tom

Sorry I missed everyone yesterday. Did a run to Keywayden. I did see SMithboy(Problem Child ) and John(NaplesBaja) on the way down. They were heading north.
Just did a quick visit for about a hour at Keywayden and then made the trip back North to FMB.
Some of the smothest water I have seen in the Gulf yesterday for the trip down.
Hope to met up with some of the new folks next time out.
The 35OL ran great. Big difference in eide. A little choppy on saturday. (Ran outside sanibel to Captiva)
But yesterday was great small chop when I was heading back north.

Dennis

Tom,
The boat has the 700s/NXT drive package. We ran the outside to Charley Pass yesterday then inside to Tween Waters.

Hello Aaron,

I will be going to Key West for the races in November. 16th straight year. We will go by water again and if there is interest in other FMO boats joining me would be great. Some years I will trailer to Miami and leave from there and some years just head across from here. Open to anything at this point. All I know for sure is I will leave on Thurs morning Nov. 8th and return on Monday morning the 12th. If there is interest in this we can get another thread going.:cool-smiley-011:
Bob

Yeah I apologize for hijacking this thread,
to BenPayne that velocity is stunning and the rooster tail can be seen for miles.

Sorry I missed everyone this weekend. I didn't get back from Orlando yesterday till 1 or so and by that point the rain was all ready building. Sounds like you all had fun.

I will be out on sunday if anyone wants to go for a run.

Don
