Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

One of the signs of the apocalyse has been seen today!! At approximately 3:00 EDT today, 30 April 2005, I backed the new boat into my driveway.

That's right, boys and girls, we are boatless no longer!

1996 Powerquest 290 Enticer, twin 454 MPI LX's good for 330 hp. Already have my shopping list for Trick Marine.

Plan on spending a good amount of time out on our new family-friendly boat, unless Too Old actually splashes the Sutphen. In that case, I'll be in church because it will surely be the "end of days!" :D :D

That boat is made in Holland Michigan....I went on a plant tour several years back...very nicely made piece of equiptment...has what i consider "Formua like" fit and finish.


maybe I'll see you on Gull island this summer... :drink:

Nice ride buddy...... Where's the Red Wings sticker? :D

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

It shames me to say it, but I was the "cruiser" advocate - she's the one that said no way, we needed another performance boat.

My better half in more ways than one... :D

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Holy sh!t! Next thing you know cats will be living with dogs! Glad to see you finally pull the trigger, and good luck with her.

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!

.....hey dock....be sure to send me a few pictures of the spray patterns now...ya hear?

no steps? :D

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

I was afraid of the bubbles.... :D

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Hope you learned a lot from me on steps.. :D

Everybody knows you really don't need steps until you get over the 30' hump right?

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

I thought there felt like there was a shift in the force recently. :D

I think since I've joined OSO you were looking for a new ride. This has to be one of the most thorough boat purchases ever.

Congratulations!

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Nice boat, DR. Congrats and we hope to see you around Holland/Grand Haven/Muskegon this summer.

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Nice one dude !! Know of any other sweet deals out there :D

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Congratulations! Enjoy the boat!

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Dave, we're definitely coming over for Smoke, I'm hoping to find somewhere to tie the boat up for a night or two so that I don't have to yank it out each night - any suggestions? I'm assuming the municipal docks will be full up with the Poker Run boats.

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Beautiful...what is the top end speed you'r getting with the 330's?

is that a Dodge ram pulling your new vessel & How does it pull?

Happy safe boating :D

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

congrats!!!!!

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

I was out earlier today on St. Clair....

The boat I was in was a 32 Skater a buddy of mine is bringing to the Upper part of Michigan.

We were running around 120mph...total blast.....one word of caution...still debris on the lake...careful with your new toy.

Doing laps in Anchor Bay around 11 am today...maybe you heard us...'cause you sure couldn't see us.. we gassed up at Mac and rays...then back on the trailer and up it went to Marquette.

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

I pulled it over with the wife's 2005 Durango Hemi. It was no problem, smooth sailing the whole way. The Hemi did get a bit winded going uphill, but nothing unexpected. And I averaged 13 mpg towing, nothing to sneeze at...

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Nice boat, congrats!

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

You might be able to get short-term in-out service at Grand Isle Marina, just upriver from the Grand Haven drawbridge. Keenan marina in Spring Lake may be able to slip you or maybe in-out the boat. I'd be really wary of tying up to the wall in G.H. Maybe if you had fenders the size of a Volkswagen,,,,,,,,,,,

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Congrats, best of luck & enjoy it.

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Sweet Ride Dude.... have fun!!! :D

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
 

Congrats!! I'm waiting for my day...
Enjoy It!!

CONGRATS DOCK! Best wishes for a safe and trouble free summer. :cool:

Re: Fair warning - make your peace with the Lord while there is still time!
