I have been on the road trying to make some money to pay for the new boat, plus some health problems have come up with me

I am also driving our trucks now to make a few extra bucks, it will pay off in the summer when I can relax and hopefully take a road trip for fun instead of work

Trout man you snafued me. I was trying to get mud flinging to get us thru the spring.
I guess the old reliable "APACHE" from Fred should do it however!

Add a drive temp gauge to my to do list!!! What should th drive oil temp be in a Bravo 1? 4000lb boat, hi X, 4 blade prop, 450 HP ?

oh my....

someone told me reggie is developing a v-hull that will do 217mph

Too obvious you have to be a more cunning linguist;

"Hey!! I was out on my V-Hull going about 95mph in Lake Michigan that is rougher than any other body of water, and felt a lot safer then the guy beside me in his Skater 32 with trip egg beaters who had trouble following. I thought maybe if he had some steps he'd be better but than thought steps make a boat feel unsafe and can't take a turn worth the crap. Suddenly this guy with an '04 Apache built in Boca Raton tries to catch up but either is yanmar power or his trimax drive must of broke or something. We then got a call on the cell from either LOTO or So California but I thought why bother answering people in more boring spots then us besides we're drinking booze driving our boats so no time to talk. Eventually we had to go back to the ramp to leave and attend the gay wedding of the minister of a local church who had just won the democratic primary in our state."


All right Too Old that might work!!!

OK...there are no gay weddings around here in Lake MI. Not sure what the rest of the country is like and I don't care!!!

Get them wet-sumps converted to dry sumps.

A hundred years from now you'll be dead and you'll wish you woulda spent the money on them dry-sump conversions,,,,, And if you get dead before me be sure to stoke up the fires so it's warm when I get there.
