thanks for the kind words of encouragement! haha

Oh it's not that bad, really. One thing I've found is that you save a lot of money over time renting. Otherwise, you end up buying a house, paying for all those upgrades, having to say Yes Dear way too many times, then you end up renting anyway. But I digress :lolhit:

Seriously. Wish you the best of luck. Now go out and get that boat, it might just be your last chance.

Slink.........torque/hp is still relative even with those sb strokers. So if your hp is at 350 your torque will be in the same neighborhood. It's easy nowdays to get 1 hp per ci especially with a 383 (built several of them over 500 hp). Chances are at that hp, they didn't fess for any dyno time so I doubt you'll have that info available. Just be careful and do your hw!

what is the best beach this w-end?

Thayer's and deep bay ?

If they don't keep changing the forecast, Thayer and Deep Bay seem like the best 1-2 choices. I'll be down in Willsboro, protected, but no beach.

enjoy your vacation! And the always changing weather forecast !

Thanks, tomorrow may be golf if that wind holds true.

Heading down this morning for some thirty packs and tequila as well :drink:

Was up at Treadwell today...was nice. The Sunday forcast just keeps going south...now gusts up to 26 kts!!! Think more about that golf Jeff...don't want to be on the broad tomorrow if that forcast holds...BUT....you never know!!!

well... met up with a friend of mine in treadwell around 4:30 pm saturday (wellcraft excalibur 23). Went to champlain marina where I guess they had their annual party ! music that kept the kids awake till... 11:30 I guess, pm of course !

this morning, saw a fountain 32 launching and the red DCB 35 (sound awsome by the way). I then left champlain marina for thayer's but wind was laready a little too much to enjoy beach... so went out for a return home in some 4 or 5 feet roller that was enough to catch some air 2 or 3 times ! does not happens often !

pretty much lost the w-end but we were in family with friends and I guess that is all that really matters!

See you guys later!
