OC bike week 16-19 of Sept.

To clarify, 1st post of this thread is from the 2009 run, the 2010 run is in red below. I was thinking Randys eyesight may be going as well so wanted to avoid any confusion:

Same ol MarylandMark, still wont come out and buy me a beer. If you and the Mrs. ever go boating again I may just buy you both a drink

Is there a special license or permit needed to go past the 95 bridge?

Eye site is fine, as are my bowels, but thanks for asking, I could have said yes its the same weekend, but I think most folks could understand. Sorry if that confused you, the dates are the same. Thanks for clarifying.

That's good info there.

How much fuel did you really burn? I'm confused as one pick says 212 gallons and another 146

So then I'd ask, where were you getting fuel on the water as I also have the 300xs and need the 93 octane.

I've been looking for you since June 1st?

All joking aside, I don't wish a broken boat on any one and hope you are back out this weekend as planned (married marylandmark is more gentle and friendly, esp to the women folk since I am "safe" now (not as in queer, not that there is any thing wrong with that...)

You need to prove (as in carry the card with you or in your boat with your registration like I do) that you have had a basic boater safety course approved by the US Coast Guard or NASBLA (National Association of State Boating Law Administrators). DC doesn't have a special license or any thing you need, they only mandate the captain has had a basic boating course. I think all waters should require this.

Most folks would, John on the other hand.... Ok, so I am only pointing out my faults. When I saw this link, I went to page 1 and thought the dates were what was posted there which were from 2009. Sorry to add confusion to the confusion.

212 is the total capacity, 146.9 is what I had left. If you look at one of the other pictures it shows "fuel used 61.9 gal". Those numbers add up to 208.8 because when I calibrated the gauge I didn't feel like waiting for the last 3.2 gallons to load because of the vapor catcher kept shutting the handle off.

I had 5.5 gallons of oil (one 3 gallon tank for each engine) and ended the day with 2 gallons so I burnt 3.5 gallons total on the day.

Run times are different because I blew my starboard powerhead around 52 hours. They replaced the ECU since some of the motor shot into it and cracked the circuit board.

300XS need 91, not 93. I run 93 just to make sure I'm at least 91. Kind of like insurance I guess plus ethonal breaks down fuel fast. I also keep my boat on a lift and am not going to waste 1/2 my day trailering to a gas station. I get it at Goose Bay Marina on the Port Tobacco River. http://www.goosebaymarina.com/

Cheers!

This burns slightly...

Our reservations are already made, on A dock in Old town Alexandria. Rick & Bonnie of Party Shark also have a slip behind us on B dock.

The Boat is being delivered for the install tomorrow, say a prayer for me, what an ordeal. With any luck I will be running, testing, this weekend
