no longer a virgin
 

Well after over 25 years of owning and running performance boats i finely lost my virginity

was running Lake Michigan yesterday in moderate waves was only out 5 minutes when i lost a drive

(Brovo drive with Merc 600 SC's pushing 1998 Top Gun )

In all the years i have owned boats i have never blown a drive so i guess i was due

Drive will be off tonight and on its way to be repaired

I am told by my drive expert friend that he will have all the new updated GOOD stuff back in it by the weekend or by first of next week

I am going to give him both drives to do since i fear i am buying time on the other drive

since i don't seem to have messed up the case i will keep these to run

I thought about buying two new ones but not sure after reviewing past post on this subject that i would be any better off

i would welcome any additional thoughts

Marc

Marc, let us know what upgrades you do. Are you staying with Merc stuff , or another company?

Put Imco parts in them

Should They Stay Or Should They Go.....
 

Marc , the decision should be based on weather your gonna keep this boat for a while or is this the last season.

Jim,

What do you recommend ????

Wont be last boat but that has nothing to do with it

i want it good for the guy that buys it don't the road

I have been looking into imco parts but am also told Mercs new upgrades are pretty good as well

Payton,

I am not sure yet i have 2 days to figure this out :)

Marc ... sorry to hear that ,... better now than July 7 th however !!!

Wait ... you mean there were "waves" out there ?????

They didn't say anything about those in the brochure!:rolleyes: :D

yea was a great day to be on the lake

I talked to Parnell, he went out after we came in

Gotta love boating in April in Michigan

seems like Nauti Kitti and I are the only ones who dare to go out before it gets to 80 degrees

Gale warnings today! 7 footers ( real ones, not the ones you see on loto) and I can't get playboy dave to bite. :mad: Primal Instinct still waiting on a part from Latham.:mad: Ancestral Spirit in a thousand pieces. :mad: Boat Me with a busted bravo. :mad:
Little cig still in storage. :mad: The cheif still in florida:mad: Ruthless in a thousand pieces:mad: The other two 41 sabers in Ohio:mad:

Lets call an emergency sotw for this afternoon so I can see who shows up. I hate missing gale warnings. :mad: I will hit the water in my sea doo today so I at least have that comfort. NK :cool:

Wait a minute. I just realized that two 41 sabers are in coopersville today. anyone have a spare 1200 sterling I can use for the day? NK

Broken Bravos???
 

How can u break bravos with only 550hp????

Mine have close to 200 hrs on them ,,, XR,s with up grades, but,,,,,, I never run my boat hard,,,,, never go out in rough water,,,, and always leave it on the trailer if the wind is blowing over 10mph,,,, rite!!!!!!!!

Marc , hate to hear it man,,, maybe its time to talk to Jerry,,, he figured out how to make his outdrives work,,,,:D :D ,,, and now they are for sale!!! ;) ;)

Hope it is not real serious,,,,, RHC
