I have to finish hooking up water, new gauges and fire it up.

Brad Z has at least one engine to install yet.

Mike L has to learn how to drive a true race boat.

Tom T needs to hire someone to drive a real boat.

Tom B has to start from scratch on the same boat!!??

Anyone I forgot with new stuff???

Actually I have three engines to install. The MTI is sans power. The minvan will have the other engine in this weekend. I have been moving trim pumps around to make room for the tailpipes that will exit the transom instead of the deck. The minivan needs tailpipes, shorter driveshafts and painting the new hatches.

I did hire someone to tow my boat for me. As far as driving the boat, watch out...Rose is picking up speed!!!!!! I think that your learning curve may require more of a hired gun than mine. Forget about boating lessons, I have a buddy that is a Top Gun Instructor. That would be a good start!!!!!

Will we see you at the Grand Geneva this weekend?

Could everyone send Brad their cell phone numbers just in case his underwater exhaust should fail?!
