damage control!!
 

any word on the weekend poker run from Miami to Key west?? ;) :)

:confused: :confused: :confused:

I heard the same, nothing on the final though, minor issues, cables, battery, etc.

i heard about a new tiger going back to the factory in a shopping bag. Maybe cig racer can stop by the factory on wed. after the boat is recovered from marathon and check it out for all his oso bros. el indio.

Thanks for the cryptic info:rolleyes: :rolleyes: You forgot to include that if it was an apatchee (which is the greatest boat on earth) it wouldn't have happened.

there is a 41 Saber down as well. They all can brake.
It's not a matter of if, It is a matter of when. These are just facts.

How rough was it out there? That must be a long ride there and back. 350mi? :fish:

41 Saber might be naughti kitty.... hope not. I'm supposed to be going for a ride with him on Lake Michigan when he gets back up here!!

That would be a major bummer.

Foul, correct it is Parnell :(

Damn

2 burnt pistons.i wonder what gas he was running?

Breakin motors is never any fun :(

2 burnt pistons.i wonder what gas he was running?

OUCH :eek:

Ouch!:(

Blew 24 - 28 knots Friday and yesterday, laid down to 9 - 11 this AM. If they ran the outside, it was snotty on the way down, slightly better on the way up..

Well they are having a good time because I have received about 5 messages from Parnell, Parnell's girlfriend, and a few others...

All those messages were on the cell and left between 1:50 AM and 3:55Am both Saturday morning and this morning!!! Thank god Parn said to turn off the phone!!

Also Parnell fried an engine... but they got Dave's Top Gun going to take to Key West all they had to do from what I understood was to fix the hydraulic steering (after 8 hours at Monty's). Once it was fixed in the morning they dunked it and all was well apart from the fact that the had to steer left to go right and vice versa.... They fixed it backward!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

:eek: :D :D

Bummer for Parnell our local go fast hero!!!

Did Parnell build his own engines, or did he pay a builder to do it for him? Does anybody know? Just curious. Wonderin what really let loose.

Chief Engines, Tommy is a stand up guy and will I am sure find the issue and keep Parnell a satisfied client.

scott i have only heard good things about tommy as well.

Spent all week on a boat anchored off the bay side. Took the skiff(18 Donzi) in Hawks channel a few times. (Kids said it was better than the than the Univeral rides.)

We figured out the issue. Not running lean. The issue was from before when they were in the sutphen and I can't begin to say enough about Tom Hofstetler. Above and beyond the call of duty. We will be better than ever in early May. Thanks Tom.

BTW 94 mph and counting. :D

All true except the girlfreind part:eek:

BTW Don't let Offshorgasm Dave hook up your steering. Can you say dislexia? :crazy:

Glad to hear your gettin it all fixed up parnell :)

When I am on that side of the state I would like to see it some time :D :D Just from the pics its a amazing machine :cool:

Thanks Travis Be here from may to early october. Any time you want, as long as it's rough. :cool:

rough is good :D

Foul will get me to come over there sometime this summer. :D

Hellz yah! Throws quite a tail too!!

LS JR.

Florida does seem to have good tail. ;)

Parnell, are you going to the COPS party on the 2nd? I am thinking of it, I need an all night drinking partner.:D Ge that engine running, spring is around the corner, should be mid 60s this weekend but the water is still 40.:cool:

Almost time, Parn, now you can come with us testing !;) :D

Yes it does!!!:D :D

Glad to hear that you found the problem.:)

:)

:cool: :cool:

It was a FANTASTIC run. The weather was beautiful and the seas were somewhat rough on the way down. The way home was a bit better, 3-5's. The new tiger broke on the way down and on the way back. The steering cable on the way down and the motor on the way back. He limped it into Marathon where it sat overnight and was picked up on Monday and towed right to the Cig factory. Needless to say, the owner was not too happy.
I think there were a few others that broke down on the way back. But the good ol' APACHE did'nt let us down.
The only thing missing was Magnum Mark running his Apache!!!!
It was a GREAT TIME!!!!

Kathy :cool:

From one of the message I got from a lady friend of the owner in the middle of the night she said the owner throws quite a tail too!:drool:

Parnell,

That must have been a bummer, but I'm glad you are being taking care of.

Early May should give you what ?? .... another 3-4 weeks before you have to winterize (or send it south again) :D :D :D

Good luck with her, that's a sweet boat

G
:cool:

A friend of mine (Chet Huffman) called me on Sunday, on his way back and said it was a killer run! He's happy with his new Zuls I guess:D
