It's Alive!!!!
 
Finally! after 6 months of waiting on engine and upholstry work:mad: I have a boat that looks good and runs:D :rolleyes:

Gonna splash tonight and hopefully all goes well.
If you guys hear about a big explosion on Lake Erie, then that will probably be me:crazy: :crazy:

Outlawcowgirl 06-20-2003 07:43 AM

YAHOO! I remember how long I waited to splash the Baja. The months of work we did on her really paid off.

WE WANT PICS!!!
Good luck!!!:woohoo:

Shane 06-20-2003 07:47 AM

Best of luck! I hope all goes well. Yeah, get us some pics!:)

Scott 06-20-2003 08:20 AM

Take a extra bilge pump:eek:

Have fun!

Danny Usnik 06-20-2003 08:26 AM

Feels good doesn't it, You havn't missed that much, besides last weekend and maybe the one before the weather has been terrible.. It's supposed to be beautiful this weekend.

I just got mine in last Saturday. The projects that I started in November finally got done. I pulled into the barn in November and stood there and looked at it and drank beer until May.

Where on Erie is your home port?

THRILLSEEKER 06-20-2003 08:34 AM

I will get some pics after I get it all cleaned up, right now the boat is filthy but I dont care, I just wanna get it wet:D

Danny, I trailer every weekend, and put in @ Mazuriks in Marblehead and run around the islands from there, usually @Kelleys.

The lake is cranking right now, check the on line cameras and bouys before you bring it down. I hope it lays down sometime today. Tom

R Addiction 06-20-2003 09:43 AM

Good Deal!!! Have a blast and keep us posted:cool:

JUSTONCE 06-20-2003 09:44 AM

SSComp 06-20-2003 10:43 AM

I really like that site. I was thinking of shooting over to Kelly's tonight but I'll wait until tomorrow.

Just Once, If you want to learn how to pour cement come on over at 8AM...Just joking.:D :D :D

formula31 06-20-2003 10:58 AM

This is another good one

TEAMBAJA 06-20-2003 11:19 AM

Damn! Thats gonna be rough in a 22' boat! Yikes!:drool:

SSComp 06-20-2003 01:07 PM

Looks like it's really laying down quick. down to 2.3ft waves at 1:00pm. Still going to be cold tonight.

I'm hoping to get a babysitter for tomorrow. The wife is a blast when she's been drinking. She'll probably bash me (in a funny way) all night. Very tolerant when not drinking.

JUSTONCE 06-20-2003 01:19 PM

Bajalion, I used to work with a mason and I'll have to pass sorry:D We are going to the sand bar tonight.

THRILLSEEKER 06-20-2003 01:22 PM

AAWWWW!.....come on, the sand bar cant possibly be as fun as the casino;)

Danny Usnik 06-20-2003 01:31 PM

Looks like the lake is going to cooperate. 2 ft or less east of Cleveland. Load the coolers.

THRILLSEEKER 06-20-2003 01:57 PM

Danny, you coming to The Casino tonight??

THRILLSEEKER 06-22-2003 02:08 PM

Which boat is yours?

I have the old school BAJA.

SSComp 06-22-2003 08:59 PM

32 Caliber. "Nuff Said", no stickers. I think I followed you in Saturday. The Mirage and I left at the same time (about 11).

THRILLSEEKER 06-23-2003 06:24 AM

I guess I missed you guys, that's my Baja on the inside of the mirage in Post 30, you can barely see it.

In 01 I did a complete rip out. New engines, steering, upholstery, headliner..... That first summer truly is a great feeling.
