The boat is absolutley gorgeous. greeneyedboatbabe made the trip with us. We ran on the outside for a little bit and came in. We idled up to Shooters and then to my house were we were met by a few people. Stay tuned for the hot bod pics tomorrow!

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOS ANGELES/OXNARD CA
230 PM PST SAT JAN 8 2005

...FLOOD WATCH FOR FLASH FLOODING FOR SANTA BARBARA...VENTURA AND
LOS ANGELES COUNTIES EXTENDED UNTIL 9 AM PST TUESDAY...

A FLOOD WATCH FOR FLASH FLOODING MEANS THAT FLASH FLOODING IS
POSSIBLE...BUT NOT IMMINENT...IN THE WATCH AREA. PEOPLE IN THESE
AREAS SHOULD STAY ABREAST OF THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS AND BE PREPARED
TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION IF A WARNING IS ISSUED OR FLOODING IS
ENCOUNTERED.

RAINFALL TOTALS FROM THIS STORM THROUGH THIS MORNING HAVE GENERALLY
AVERAGED ONE TO TWO INCHES IN COASTAL AND VALLEY AREAS OF SANTA
BARBARA...VENTURA AND LOS ANGELES COUNTIES...WITH AS MUCH AS 3 TO 7
INCHES IN THE FOOTHILLS AND THE MOUNTAINS BELOW THE SNOW LEVEL.

LATEST TRENDS IN SATELLITE AND MODEL DATA SUGGEST THAT A VERY MOIST
FLOW FROM THE SUBTROPICS WILL PERSIST ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. THEREFORE...PERIODS OF RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED
THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY WHICH AT TIMES WILL BE MODERATE TO HEAVY.
THOUGH THE PERIODS OF HEAVIEST RAIN ARE HARD TO DECIPHER...AT THIS
TIME IT APPEARS THAT AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WILL
OCCUR THIS EVENING...SUNDAY DURING THE DAY...AND AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT.
REGARDLESS...PERSISTENT SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL
YIELD EFFICIENT AND CONTINUOUS OROGRAPHICALLY INDUCED RAINFALL OVER
THE COASTAL RANGES...FOOTHILLS AND SOUTH FACING SLOPES OF THE
MOUNTAINS.

DAILY RAINFALL TOTALS OVER THE NEXT 72 HOURS WILL LIKELY BE 1 TO 2
INCHES FOR THE COAST AND VALLEYS AND 3 TO 7 INCHES IN THE FOOTHILLS
AND MOUNTAINS. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 4 TO 8 INCHES ACROSS COASTAL AND VALLEY
AREAS...WITH 10 TO 20 INCHES IN THE FOOTHILLS AND MOUNTAINS. THERE
WILL LIKELY BE LOCAL TOTALS IN EXCESS OF 24 INCHES
:eek: ALONG SOME OF THE
OROGRAPHICALLY FAVORED SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST FACING SLOPES.

RAINFALL RATES DURING THE PEAK PERIODS OF THE STORM MAY EXCEED ONE
INCH PER HOUR. GIVEN THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAIN THAT HAVE FALLEN
ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DURING THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS...THE
ADDITIONAL EXPECTED RAINFALL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS
FLOODING PROBLEMS. FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ALONG SMALL STREAMS
AND IN LOW LYING AREAS. STREET AND ROADWAY FLOODING IS LIKELY IN THE
NORMALLY FLOOD PRONE AREAS. SIGNIFICANT RISES ARE EXPECTED ON AREA
MAINSTEM RIVERS...INCLUDING THE LOS ANGELES...SAN GABRIEL...SANTA
CLARA...VENTURA...SANTA YNEZ AND SALINAS RIVERS. IN FACT...SOME OF
THESE RIVERS MAY ACTUALLY EXCEED THEIR FLOOD STAGES.

MUDSLIDES AND DEBRIS FLOWS WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT WITH THIS
STORM AS WELL. THE MUDSLIDE POTENTIAL WILL BE HIGHEST IN AND BELOW
THE RECENTLY BURNED AREAS...BUT ALL RESIDENTS LIVING ON OR NEAR
HILLSIDES OR MOUNTAIN SLOPES SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR POSSIBLE
MUDSLIDES AND DEBRIS FLOWS.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS...ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN LOW
LYING AREAS...NEAR RIVERS OR STREAMS...OR IN OR BELOW THE RECENTLY
BURNED AREAS ARE URGED TO TAKE THE STEPS NECESSARY AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE TO PROTECT THEIR PROPERTY. PERSONS IN THE WATCH AREA SHOULD
REMAIN ALERT AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
OFFICIALS. EVACUATIONS SHOULD BEGIN IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT WAITING FOR
INSTRUCTIONS IF HEAVY FLOWS OF WATER OR MUD ARE OBSERVED.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR FAVORITE MEDIA SOURCE FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATION.

Re: Went Boating Today!
 

BlackBuka's paint scheme is one of the coolest schemes....everytime I see this boat I tell my husband we should paint our boat like that.

What a beauty she is!!

Re: Went Boating Today!
 

Yes Rich, a 24' Spectre with a 225 Optimax. This is the greatest Outboard boat I have ever owned. Jay's finish work and rigging is top shelf. The boat has incredible seating space and comfort for a 24' boat. It is obvious that whover designed this boat had some great ideas and experience with creature comforts. The boat has 10 cupholders, a portable blender as standard equipment, very well layed out console, and a comfortable rocket launcher. There is more storage space in the boat than one could ever fill and the center console is designed to accomodate a porta potti.

This boat is the perfect dinner cruiser, Keys cruiser, sandbar beacher, or just a two person fisherman.

I stumbled upon the boat by accident and the deal was too good to pass up. It has been a pleasure working with Jay and his staff. We outfitted the boat with electronics and multiple calls to the factory were made with questions. Jays guys spent as much time on the phone as needed, great customer service.

Two years ago I went on the Sarasota Poker Run with OSO Maximus in his 36' Spectre. He was running 90-100 all day just beating this boat. The boat performed very well and took a huge beating in 3-4 footers. When we got back I inspected the boat for damage and there was none to be found. I was so impressed with the finish work and the way the boat held up that I put it on my list of possibles to own one day.

A 34' Center Console is in the works. I will post some pictures today.
