I cant wait for Miami !!! It cant come soon enough. It was -13 degrees this am and they are calling for 14" of snow starting this afternoon. We have had over a foot of snow this week alone.. No big storms just and inch or two every day


Can you say Islamorada and Tiki Bar ??????????????

14 inches...that's what I like to hear! I am heading to Tug tommorrow, then over to LG on Friday. The Poker run on Saturday should be heavily attended. Anybody doing the run? The Snow Squall party is after the run at The Half Mile Ranch.

Don't worry, in about 6 weeks I'll be ready to break out the boat!

I hear ya Bob :D

How much snow did you end up getting?

Bob, have a good time in FL on the boat. Enjoy it while you can!

3"

My prediction for Ice out this year is April 22nd

Me thinks April 15th :drink:

Ill be out in the Toon fishing the day after no matter what day it is

As long as it's good to go May 10th! Thats when I get to use the new ride for the first time.

The whole out in front of the shop keeps getting bigger and bigger.:cool-smiley-011:

Still along way to go though if you want to go boating.

Come on son, pick a date

Ill take the 30th

27th. How do you determine it is "officially out?"

April 19th is my prediction, supposed to get close to 60 here next week.....I need to find a boat fast!!!

Would you consider a single engine cat in that size?

ice out is when you can go boating and not hit an iceberg

Trying to stay away from the cats....insurance is a lot more expensive from what I understand.....also, pretty set on a "V" at this point, just like the handling characteristics for what I'm going to be using it for.

makes sense. Ive got my eyes out for ya.

Thanks. I might head down to MD this next weekend to look at that 2007 Y2K the MDG put together with big HP and a Konrad drive. They'd be willing to swap the engine/drive for something more in my budget (525 w/XR drive). I might be able to get it in my range if I can find a good deal on a used/rebuilt 500 or 525 EFI, but it is still a lot of money for me. I've cut way back on my partying and now that I am not breaking snowmobiles I have a little more money to put towards it so we'll see. :D

I kind of want to wait to see what else comes on the market in the next month or so. I have a feeling with the way the economy is going that people are going to be looking to get rid of their boats.

Big time i got you covered, i will even knock anohter 1000 off it and take 32500 so you can add a rear bench!

come get her

Its certianly a buyers market. We might be building a bigger motor for the avanti soon and if we do there MAY be a nice reliable Saris Racing 525 going up for sale.

when am i picking up the gladiator for the summer.... when does my rental fee start?????

Cool, keep me posted.

I saw a aluminum baot with a 40 Merc running between the docks and the ice today. He traveled about 3 miles of shoreline before turning around. It wont be long before ice out now

Bob, did you see the fire on the Island just west of Dome? (Im drawing a blank on the name)

No, Never even heard about it. You mean the private island with just the one little house and the channell markers right to the west of it ??

Three Brothers ??

There are a few islands in that area. Was it brush or a house ??

The one with the little yellow house and the markers. Couldnt really tell what it was but there was a whole lot of smoke.

didnt see a thing.

looks like the ice is out boys

Most all of it went away today.

Id say the 9th or 10th is the official ice out date

I lose

Yup. Me too. Hopefully opening the Avanti up next week.:cool-smiley-011:

When i got to the shop this morning there was some ice out into the bay but after school it was all water.:cool-smiley-011: Not sure about the narrows though.

I was close. I said the 15th.

No school next week so maybe ill be uncovering the Avanti.:D

Was out in the HAwk yesterday and the Avanti should be in by tomarow.
