I'll be a 1st time grandpa in a few months. Going to break in the new family member in a Formula SS350. I'm going to test out how that new joy stick system works!:p

We will see how long this lasts?:cool-smiley-011:

Probably til' you get too old for that and have to upgrade to the Bennington Tooner :D Have fun in Mississippi this weekend, be sure to send some pics. I guess I better make a run North to dig the boat out!

u will like that john, good talking to you,

congrates on the grandbaby

Randy

Cool beaners Grandpa!!! Congrats!

Should be shooting colors this week...gonna take the wifey down to check things out probably Friday or Saturday...starting to get a little anxious...lol

Looks like cloudy weather for the upcoming weekend..

Come on warm weather!! :evilb:

Wild did you get that bike yet?

supposed to be on the assembly line, they told me 6 weeks till delivery 7 weeks ago, so im getting a little pissy :D:D

they said its got the most bells and wistles on it of any to roll out, so it should be awsome

117 efi, everthing chrome, diamond cut heads, custom paint, etc. Cant friggin wait, im guessing may or june

You better go get it - we will be down to help you launch next weekend.:D

I'll have to hook up with you and Randy periodically this summer to get the gofast fix. Should be an interesting new experience.:p

Bike - tell us more!

I was looking at Harley's late last season, had a few friends stop by trying to influence me. My wife wasn't crazy about the idea but found it acceptable after she saw a few very nice rides. Still thinking on that one. Once I let winter come I lost the urge. I suspect it might resurface if summer ever gets here this year.

Awsome, I looked into the k-9 2 years ago great bike. Looks like the Top-Gun has competition. I may be down this weekend I'll give you a call if we make it.

The cruiser life is really pretty cool. We lived on our 410 for 5 seasons before buying the house. It's great when you have a load of people to haul around. We still go on our Sunday sunset cruises most weekends, and the dogs can't get enough of it; they like to swim off the lift platform.

But when you feel the need for speed come on by and we'll take the Cig out...should be back sometime in April. I should also have the Cig 20 soon...just need to find a slip for it.

Randy, I can't wait to see that bike. Do you have a matching do-rag yet?

Back to the original thread topic, I took my boat out of storage yesterday and put a couple of hours on her to run out most of the old gas. She's sitting on the lift now at the dock and I did not drain the water out. Coldest night forecasted for the next 10 days is 28 degrees so no worries.

Randy told me the other day that you got the 20 ft cig. That should be a blast on the right days...

You should be good to go. Worst case scenario you might have to go down and pump the 496 out.

John congrats on being a papa.
I was thinking that last year you told me I didn't need a 400ss, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Who did you sell the boat to?

Got em fired up today, all is good, time to get throttle up to make me some special props :)

F-4 #1 now resides at Hilltop Marine down at Lake Cumberland. I'm sure they would make you a helluva deal on the 38 PQ.

Headin out tonight to go get it out, have her home in the morning!

Had a horrible day boating down here in the bayou yesterday.:p

80 and sunny. Can't wait to get back north.:(

She's home got some buffing and waxing to do, but it's kinds chilly out this AM :(

Got home today - sunburned!:p

But why?:food-smiley-009:

Becoming a grandpa in a couple months. Wanted something a bit more family friendly for awhile.:p

Do you know what your daughter is going to have? Hope everything goes well. I'm sure you won't spoil this grandchild to much :D

She hasn't decided to find out yet - but I say "it's a GIRL!"

I put the boat back together and fired them up tonight, AHHHH did that sound good to hear.:party-smiley-048: All that I have to get done is put the throttle and shifter cables in and off I go to LOTO:woohoo:
