Hot Boat Has a successful weekend!
 
After what has been a several year labor intensive project, Hot Boat has finally got it together. He has been through the wringer with his Scarab. One set back after another. He has improvised, adapted and overcome! Everytime he seemed to have it all figured out, something new would pop up. But he kept at it, and is now enjoying the fruits of his labor! CONGRATULATIONS Paul and I look forward to seeing you next weekend at the lake!:)

I can't thank Paul enough... Humming along at 60 under the T.Z. bridge and BLAHHHHHHHH dead in the water, open the hatch look in the bilge see what looks like a VALVE, i'm like I didn't hear any EXPLOSION ?? turns out the sea-water/fuel pump belt broke, and in typical hot-boat fashion he had me up and running w/ a brand new belt in a matter of MINUTES, talk about a pit-crew... Anyway, w/ all the sh!t that boy has on his boat, he might as well tow a BARGE behind him, I bet he can gain 5 mph if he left HALF the tools home.. Thanks again it would have been one hell of a ****ty day..

There are times that I think he was McGyver in a former life!:D :D :D :D

Rumor has it he even ditched the anchor to cut wait :D :p :D :crazy:

I wish I could have been there to see that :p

Chris288 06-16-2003 10:39 AM

IT was a great day except for the 50 mph winds, hail, lightning, 6 ft. rollers, ZERO visibility, and being stuck under the T.Z. bridge w/ tar, rust, dirt, and whatever else raining down on us from under the bridge for an hour waiting for it to blow over..

Paul's first day out was not without incident!!!!! Becareful running the west side of the river, you might get Paul's anchor line rapped around your prop!! Paul, how much does a new anchor cost anyway?

otis311 06-16-2003 07:38 PM

I knew it i knew It,, He couldnt go a whole day w/o incident

Ha Ha Paul Ole Boy I think Ihave an extra anchor if you need one

Shane 06-17-2003 08:08 AM

Me too! Let me know. I actually have 2 I think. I know I definitely have one here in Niskayuna I can bring up this weekend if you need it. Let me know.

Hot Boat 06-17-2003 11:30 AM

Hey Slacker!!!!
I tried calling your Nextel this morning to wake you up :crazy:

Actually when Christine left this morning I wouldnt even open my eye's.......she called at 7:00 to make sure I was awake and I told her to give me a call back in half an hour....
I dont remember it being that hard to get up when I used to go out drinking all night :frog:
