Beak Boater 03-31-2012 07:18 AM

Been out twice, to Gilligan's once. Whats taken you so long? Thats right those race boats require alot of work to get ready.:cool:

mwdill 03-31-2012 09:18 AM

Than back to Joppatowne before dark. The bay was a sheet of glass. Than all "heak" broke loss and I mean broke, The left rear axle bearing just desinagrated.

87MagnumII 04-02-2012 07:57 PM

About two weeks ago just to stretch its legs. Been ordering parts and tools to get dialed in before it gets really nice

suntimes 04-02-2012 09:06 PM

I hope to by the end of april, I'm sending my gauges out for a refurb, but am so busy at shop no time to take them out. Autometer has a week turn around time, so if I can get them out tomorrow I'll be looking good for may :)

Why autometer? Why not use Livorsi Rob, I had them redo all mine back in January, they did a great job and they were reasonable on price.

Powerboat713 04-10-2012 10:25 AM

Heading to Dock of the Bay or the new Sunset Cove this weekend for our first ride of the year!

Sunset Cove is the old WILD DUCK...under new ownership and suppose to be a really fun place this year!

Redhook98 04-10-2012 12:35 PM

Going to splash the 1958 Norris Craft on Saturday, and the Velocity on Sunday.

Where you guys going? I plan on putting in at Smallwood on Sat. and heading north. G-Town anybody?

My Addiction 04-10-2012 09:14 PM

Can't stay out long, so G-town is out for me. But planning on being out between 1-4 at either Smallwood or Goose Bay, depending on time.

When are they planning on having the work completed?

Dave M 04-16-2012 03:04 PM

Went down to Fairview yesterday. Pretty nice day, there were a few dozen boats down there.

My Addiction 04-16-2012 03:24 PM

Gilligans was pretty crowded by land and sea. You should have kept comin' Dave. Was anyone in the water at Fairview? There were a few in the water at Chapel point?

Dave M 04-16-2012 05:34 PM

Hey Nick! Darrin jumped in but got right back out.

Is the water taxi running at Gilligan's yet? Were the docks full?

We were at Gilligans yesterday. Got there at 1PM or so and got a slip. The water taxi started running a little later in the day. Good times as usual.....

Dave said it would take a couple days once he gets the parts.... I'm still aiming for the 28th to get wet...

fordf350 05-24-2012 09:17 PM

Going out friday Hittin the Chesapeake inn and maybe the Red Eye. Than deal with the crowds later in the weekend. Watch out for the piers.

atisvt99 05-26-2012 08:39 AM

Are most of you guys hailing from MD? I'm a new boat owner and keep her stored in VA off of Neabsco Creek (1 mile from Leesylvania and 2 miles from Tim's 1) ... Would like to meet some locals out on the water sometime. :)

bobonthis 05-26-2012 10:22 AM

Where do most of you plan on hanging on sunday?..Im not looking for boat rides..just want to be around the "real" boat guys. ;) I have to make this feel like home a little bit and at least be near the water and around boats..:evilb:

Dave M 05-26-2012 10:58 AM

There's a mixture of VA, MD and others. Fairview Beach is a big Potomac habgout. That's about 20 milesa south of Neabsco on the VA side. I'm think I'm heading down there today.

bobonthis 05-26-2012 11:04 AM

Is it an actual beach that you can get to by land or is there a bar there? Did I meet you last weekend at Thursdays Dave? Do you have an all white superboat?
