Just wondering when everybody dunks there boat?? People down south don't chime in it's just depressing :)

Wobble 04-17-2014 11:30 PM

I am down south and my rule is 80 degrees, has not happened yet, have been out and it was chilly at 70 degrees.

Not by any means a typical year.

the deep 04-17-2014 11:39 PM

Already on the water ....in my mind . :cool-smiley-011:

Quinlan 04-18-2014 05:01 AM

Put mine on the lift Last weekend. Going to waste some fuel THIS weekend!!

Orthobam 04-18-2014 06:43 AM

Ran March 29th and 30th at LOTO. Took the Skater out and put in a building but left the cruiser in. Heading down today to run.

302Sport 04-18-2014 07:05 AM

In the northeast Memorial Day is usually everyone's date to shoot for.

ttuton 04-18-2014 07:08 AM

I hope to go out tomorrow!

sommerfliesby 04-18-2014 07:17 AM

Heading to the river Tom?

We'll be at Den's workin' on boats all day if you wanna swing by...

92nsx 04-18-2014 07:22 AM

Might pull it out of storage and take a run around the pond this weekend but I then need to drag it home for spring cleaning/maintenance and then will put it on the lift next weekend.

RT930turbo 04-18-2014 07:29 AM

We were in a few weeks ago... Not exactly swim at the sandbar weather, but boating none the less!

sleev-les 04-18-2014 07:34 AM

Hoping to get in the next couple of weeks.. Im about to get the summer maintenance done and clean her up. If I actually get a buyer for mine before I splash, I'll be getting into my upgrade :D.. One way or another, I'm hoping the weather gets warm

Scagburner 04-18-2014 07:34 AM

I'm planning to take the bass boat out this Sunday to survey the lake for debris. If everything checks out, I'll be taking the new 36 out on the warmest weekday next week!

Launched the little boat middle of the week last week and ran it again Saturday and Sunday. It was 81 degrees Sunday. Big boat is almost ready and I'm running a week or two behind.

sailtexas186548 04-18-2014 07:52 AM

Four weeks ago!

This is what I shoot for. It's been mid June for me before due to weather and time constraints.

Gladhe8er 04-18-2014 08:28 AM

May 3 for a test run hopefully.

Gh700xx 04-18-2014 09:02 AM

bout a week or so after my machine shop decides to get my block back to me.

We launched our little boat last Saturday on the Mississippi River. The Formula will be out soon. This is the earliest the river has cooperated in several years. Shaping up to be a great boating season!

That's what I am shooting for. I doubt I will venture down that way with the bridge under construction it is a nightmare to get there! I still need to change an impeller as one of the brand new merc. ones I bought was a poor casting rigt out of the box!

Helt 04-18-2014 10:23 AM

Been on the water a few times already. Headed to the lake in a couple hours, hopefully not as windy as last weekend!
:boat:

BajaDawg 04-18-2014 10:35 AM

I'm usually out by April 1st, haven't had a chance to get out but once so far but sure hope we don't get a rainy spring/summer again like last year, that totally sucked!

HyFive578 04-18-2014 11:15 AM

I was out last weekend.. twice..

12meter joe 04-18-2014 11:22 AM

drpete3 04-18-2014 11:47 AM

It may be a while. This article shows we broke the record today! A half-year without hitting 60 degrees in Otsego County. http://www.petoskeynews.com/gaylord/...9a1f87d2f.html

bigredbaja 04-18-2014 11:54 AM

Comes out of storage tomorrow, new impellor and one other minor repair add a coat of wax and hope to be out first weekend of May at Kentucky
Lake.

inspector747 04-18-2014 01:09 PM

Had it out once already (1st time since I bought it), just need to dial in a few things (New parts) and then hopefully be back out in a couple weeks when the rain stops.

commandersander 04-18-2014 02:55 PM

bigbird241 04-18-2014 03:31 PM

Im hoping to dunk my Crownline next weekend, I have the outdrive apart on my Liberator.

1 MAIDEN AMERICA 04-18-2014 03:35 PM

I launched. Motor lunched. Waiting to get a couple parts. Hopefully I'll be back at it in a few weeks.
575SCi intake rot at water passage introduced a small amount of water and engine vented. If you saw the oil you'd never know. Bottom of intake and valve covers show the evidence. 400 hours 50/50 salt/fresh flushed every time after salt. Manifolds are getting welded, ground, re-hard coat anodized and an extra coating good for 5000 hours of salt....so they say. We'll see.
