I will be there with the FAT CAT on the north end.

I was coming out of Brower and that plane was coming right at me. I thought it was going to crash land or something. Pretty cool to see him land and take off on the water.

Looking forward to another fun Hardy trip. We will be there with my 28 profile, 24 htm ss, 23 wpm, and 32 sunsation.

Don't forget the lots of booze part:ernaehrung004::drink::evilb:

I will have some cold ones waiting for you crazy Indiana guys! :ernaehrung004:

I was there last year but I'm running mufflers,2 years ago I left them off but you could hear my boat for 8 miles. The plane landed last year in front of consumers on sat or sun around noon,it looked likeit was going to hit us! Will should be there with his 28 ft checkmate,its slooowly getting faster,Smitty

ASK AND YOU WILL RECIEVE.

Hey Todd we are partying at the Wharf this Saturday night if you want to stop by. Just some cold drinks, loud music and college football. Bring anyone and everyone!:ernaehrung004:

Sounds good CJ, what time?

Thanks!

Around 7pm.

The Gun Lake contigent will be there in full force. Home base will be across from the launch at the Brown Diesel Pusher. MR

MR, I was wondering if you were going to make it.

Thanks Bro the same goes for you Michiganders:ernaehrung004::drink:

I'll be there, look for the Checkmate some distance behind Smittys Baja.

Its getting close, see you guyz up there Thursday. For now I will be heading to the lake.

Hey Andy, thanks for the introductions today on the lake, looks like an awesome spot. BTW, we will be heading to hot boat but may need some more info on it. Drop me a line or call me...
Todd

Todd,
It was nice meeting you. I was running with you guys in the 28 Profile. Your checkmate looked great running. Stop by and say hi if you make it up to Hardy.

Mike

Good morning, where is the best place to be during hot boat weekend? I have never been there for this and am wondering? We have a Powerquest 260 Legend SX and am planning on heading up there Saturday morning, putting in at River Ridge.

Chicken- I assume since you are retired you will be at Hardy Tonight? Or maybe you are already there. Those of us that have to work will be up first thing Friday morning. Is Kristi going with you guys?

Jason- Are you taking the Panther up? Is Valeko going?

Head south about 7-8 miles after you launch and you'll see hundreds of boats on the West side. That's where you will probably want to be.:evilb:

Mmmmmmmm...... Hardy ! :):cool-smiley-027::drool::sport009::hitfan:

Twin Whackas - You leaving Thursday night with Billson ?

Hope to be on the road by 4:30 or sooner on Thursday.

Do you mean Consumers beach? Is this the best place to be during the hot boat weekend?

Thats a big 10 rogie. Looks like rain is in the forcast.

No prob. It was good to put a name with a face. What do you need to know about Hardy? Let me know and i will point you in the right direction.

The weather is looking worse and worse :(

Time to upack the summer clothes for some jeans and flanals.

Current Weather Report..... http://www.weather.com/weather/tenda...ink_undeclared

Probably wont be using much gas this trip.
Looks like it will be a nice cool ride on the way home Sunday.

Weather looks like crap for now, but we all know that can change in a hurry. Hopefully we will get some sunshine this weekend. Otherwise it will be a bunch of Cherry Amp and Vodka for me :evilb:

Whaka- I think it was us bench raicng under the pavilion in the rain last year? We went for the damp ride on the Formula. MR

Yep, that was me and Magic Medicine. The formula sure made for a nice booze cruiser :drink:

I remember that, it was fun:ernaehrung004:

MR, kristi is coming up with katie on fri. Jason is bringing the panther as long as he figures out a valve lash problem. Valeko is suppose to be going, I think jason said if the boat don't run he was going to ride with him.

Retired? I worked hard getting the boat ready:grinser010: I will be plenty busy nest week since winterize season starts.

See you all up there, and MR, get your rig going!!!

I have been in touch with Becca and she has given me the info I needed. We plan on being there saturday early am and will stay till 4ish....

I think I have the valve train problem figured out. My rocker arm geometry is off on 2 valves. I need to bend 2 pushrod guide plates so my rollers ride in the middle of my valves. I had to do this to 3 of them on my other engine but when I torqued down the guide plates on this engine I did not see any problems. I will have this issued resolved tonight (hopefully) and trial maybe Friday morning. If it doesn't work out the Panther will go in storage for the winter.

JimV (Valako) did say he was going up to Party on the Pond but I don't know who he is going with. (not me that I know of, he hangs out with those BIG POWER guys)

If all goes according to plan I will be up Friday, if not I have no clue.

Jason

Rook, If something does not go right let me know! We always have room for ya bro.

Big Power Guys - We like to hang together !:drink:

I guess since I only have little outboards, I will hang with the little power guys :ernaehrung004:

(Profile 280 Cat with Twin 300)

Let me correct myself, He will be hanging with you FAST guys. :cool-smiley-027:

Going to be there Friday afternoon, and in the cove at the ass crack of dawn Saturday.

I have the boxing ring all set too. Floating living room floor, and inflatable boxing gloves. Just hope the weather cooperates enough to use it. nothing like drunks in bikinis falling off a floating materess.

Thats good times for sure!
