Nice meeting everyone at LOTO
 

It was nice seeing OSO members Miss Amy, Lutz Party, Mr and Mrs, Chart, Later,Jesse James, Mickey Britain Ozarkboater and Biggus at Pickled Petes. Miss Amy sorry the game did not go better for you guys. Kurt your boat is beautiful. Oh I fogot Audiofn. Sorry Jon you did finally show up. Oh you can't cut the Memorial day trip short. Forrest

Forest it was nice to see you and to meet your wife and son. Im glad your wife wasnt circling in the air for this OSO gathering. Any OSO get together is fun. Was really nice to meet Biggus (Kurt)

As for the game at least the hawks made it look respectable in the final score.

The weather was beautiful and we were able to get out and do some boating today and show Audio and Biggus a bit of the lake.

Memorial Day will be quite a blast:D

Sorry guys, I have to admit, I was a party pooper. I didn't get much sleep Thurs. or Fri. and I was exhausted Sat. night. I finally made it to the boat show at about 5, but I was too tired to look at much. I picked up some dinner and went home and ate and fell asleep on the couch watching the game. We'll meet up Mem. Day though. Weather was great though. Hopefully, we'll have the same for Mem. Day too.

Yes it was nice to meet some new faces, I hope every one made it home ok....Audio.....Biggus.....are you out there? I dont know how long it will take them to get home, but I hope the fenders are still on. And I hope to see every one down for Mem. day.

Cramer:D

guess I missed everyone
 

was at the show saturday, wandering around, grabbed a test ride, did not know who to look for however.

Sunday I was really wishing my boat was ready for the water.

Hey cramer

I have some pictures of how they rigged up the fenders. Its quite innovative. I told biggus I would post them later.

I will also post some pics of his boat . its a beauty

Fenders
 

Yes they truly traveled in OSO fasion:D :p

By the way how did the pics of the Donzi you road in turn out...Or sould I say your new Donzi:D ;) :p

Cramer

Ill post the pics of the Donzi as well.

Not my new Donzi, Amy likes the one on the highway with the stars and stripes graphics theme however it is a bit out of our price range.....................about 100 k out of it. :rolleyes: :D :

It really is a good looking boat and Im certain we would get the best service possible from LakePort.

Turned out to be a pretty good gathering.

Got to visit for a while with Forrest and his wife as well as Chart and his wife JEAN! (right? LOL!!) We sat poolside and talked boats for quite awhile. It was fun. A beautiful day, but later on it did get a little chilly. Thanks for the jacket Forrest! :)

Had a good time at Pickled Pete's. Chart....those Mudslides were gooooooood! ;) :D Especially with those oreo's! We'll have to remember those this summer at loto.

Had a good time with the Brittain's and their friends too. Hey Christine......you gonna go out and buy some of those giraffe pants? :p LOL!!

Cramer, glad to see you made it and thanks again for the boat ride.

Of course, all the fun started when Audio and Biggus finally showed up. And just in time for the adult easter egg hunt too! ;) Had to take the kids home about that time!!

Great time seeing everyone. Hope to see you all soon!

Later ~ I wish that we had gotten a chance to talk more, but maybe we'll take you up on that offer to bring our kids over to your pool sometime! We'll bring the Marguerita's!! :D :D

MPally ~ Sorry you didn't make it. Hope you played a good game of golf. What a great day for it! Hope to see you Memorial Day.

Amy, lutz, I would like to see the pics I tried to weld up the old fenders with some bracing I guess the empty ride 1500 miles was a little too bouncy for the old girl. Glad the Turbo turned out to be easy. Sounds like Jon and Kurt really enjoyed themselves. I sent them home through Ohio and across up State NY for a smoother ride they were in Mass at 5:00 tonight should be at Kurts soon. Sorry if my ****ty bearings caused anyone any time I thought they might make the trip.:( . Maybe we can get out there some day to party with all you guys sounds like a blast!! MFB

Fenders
 

mfb IM sure Kurt appreciated the use of your trailer and the repair of bearings im sure far offset the cost of renting one. Im sure that your trailer got the A+++ job on those too.

Kurts Cig looks beautiful on that trailer. Ill post the other pictures later.

mfb you are more than welcome to come to LOTO anytime I think Biggus should have just moved here, instead of moving the boat. . :D :D

The whole Rig
 

Dang I thought I could post more than 1 at a time here. oh well here is another view of the Cig and the Rig

Thanks Kevin, Pic looks ausome. A little nose heavy by the looks of it though. Post any others you have would really like to see them. If I didnt have a buis to run I would have gone just for the laughs!!:D Mark

one more view
 

One last view The Business End D:D

Thats Beautiful!! Great looking boat. Great rigging on the fenders. Thanks Dude. Im laughin my ass off. Those boys are nuts!!!:D :D

What a great adventure.

It will add another chapter to their long list of tales. The Adventures of Biggus and Audio :rolleyes: :D

Lakeview
 

Fred

Amy tells me you will be staying on the point at Lakeview. We used to stay in those when they were brand spanking new a couple decades ago :rolleyes:

The condo's we are in are Really starting to roll along. They have Beautified the approach from TT on into the complex and they are starting on building 3, which is evident from the track hoe and the partially torn down building. Progress.

We look forward to meeting you and your crew Memorial Day

Jesse James~ I didn't forget about you......I was saving you for my 800th post! LOL!:D :D

Sweet looking Cig!
 

I'm jealous!
Sorry we missed the party, but sounds like y'all had a great time.

A great time was had by all and I look forward to getting out there again!!! :D:D LOTO LOTO LOTO

Jon

Kurt Congrats my man!
Audio, your a saint, and now GET BACK TO WORK BOY!!!!!
start sanding and priming, spring is coming LOL

Glad you both had a great time and yes what an adventure
Traveling in to the unknown, what a rush, Kurt, you must have felt like THE MAN with that thing on the back of the truck
Jason

Jay I felt like THE MAN it was on the back of my truck yuck yuck yuck :D:D

Yeah but who gets to own it????
LOL
I think im going to follow in Kurts footsteps
He has a 280 with an arch
I have a 280 with an arch

(but mine is still bolted on hehehe)

Now he has a TG
So maybe I should go get a TG (well if the wife will let me ((damn beaten down like a dawg again!!!!)))

No seriously, that thing is SCHWEEETNESS !i!i!i!i
I know when I came home from Connecticut to PA with my baja, I felt like I was high on life
Like everyone was googling like DAMN take a look at this freaking guy!!!

Loved it and I take pride when I trailer my boat I make sure it is sparkling clean, and perfect now. Be even better after the paint job
Oh hey Audio, Painted the trailer, just about done, need purple carpet for bunks and some purple accent stripes on black trailer
So now even more pride since trailer does not look like a turd anymore
See progress

Now I need a command center for my new stereo and cd changer I bought
Can you help???
Jason

Jason, thanks man.:D

I`m sure you will enjoy the Baja 280, I really love mine and It`s gonna be a sad day when I see it go.I had planned on selling it when we bought the Fountain several years ago and had decided to keep it because it was such a good boat and was glad too because the Fountain was such a headache:(

You had a canvas question last week, what was it?

Kurt.

Congrats again and again brother!!!!!

Now the canvas question, You have a boat cover and or cockpit cover for your baja? (i know you had the arch so yours probably has the cut out for it)

I need one pretty bad and i used a tarp this winter over the cockpit cover (and Diligaf will tell you that the cockpit cover is not worth ****) and the wind this winter killed the tarp!!!!
Basically, want to sell your boat cover?
Thanks
Jason

PS I wish you the best of luck with the TG!i!i
Tell us stories after your first real outing!!!!!
Also, take some pics of the engines, want to see the heart of this beast!!
Jason

Jason, I have a cockpit cover. I had a spare one and threw it away when I moved to Maine:confused: I would have given it too you. I might have a new one made for it before I sell it and if I do, I`ll give you the old one. I`m getting it out of storage on Monday.

Kurt.

That is awesome,
Thanks Kurt, Just tell me what cha got and Ill hook you up
no problem
Thanks again
Jason
