Brush at LOTO
 

HOLY SHEETOE !!! That was some kind of challenge. Saw 4 boats being towed between capt. Rons and Osage ,Niangia arm alone Sat. Morning. Anyone on tear anything up?

nothing like dodging telephone poles, railroad ties, and
2x4's to start the summer off. I checked my props on Monday morning and only had one little nic. I did have to clean out my drive showers and speedo.

I saw some guys running balls out, I am thinking they might have some surprises next time they are cleaning their boat.

I just scuffed the port prop, but had a buddy trash a prop and maybe a shaft on a large cruiser, now that sucks..

I never seen so much crap in the lake. Ran labbed props all weekend (left stock ones at home) without any problems.

coming from truman
 

:bsflag: they need to put up grates or screens from the truman lake im really tired of loto getting all thier trash!

Boat stayed on the lift this weekend. Used the time for cleaning that never gets done during the year. Too much floating junk, should settle down in a couple of weeks. All that I heard about was jet pumps getting plugged.

No problems for me that I know of. Did a lot of crap-dodging, though. Ran hard later on Sunday from toll bridge to Horny Toad with no issues.

ran 7 hrs on friday, sat. left home got 10 min from dock-impeller out, got fixed ran sun, put up on lift had small curl on one 28' labbed prop-that sucks new props needed or fix one.

I lucked out. Didn't tear anything up but I did see a deer floating that looked like it swallowed a 55 gallon drum. Hope no one hit that. I'm at the 38mm Osage , sure was a mess

Tried to take kids tubing went too slow for them cause of the floaters went back home.
On the Big and Little Niangua.

Then what?

I ran Friday PM and Saturday AM; short rides without incident but kept it relatively slow for the most part, you really have to pick your spots to run...there was trash everywhere I went. I would not go out in the traffic becuase I didn't want to be in a situation where I couldn't make an evasive manuever.

I'm really amazed at the amount of crap and the general disregard for those that have property and don't clean up the shoreline. I've amassed enough wood in the last couple of weeks to have a sizeable bonfire.

We try with the Amren UE / Realtor shoreline clean up we pulled over 22 tons of foam and debris from the lake this year and we always pull junk from the lake at our property but with the rain we have had over the last few weeks the wash in just from the shoreline not Truman has added all this mess. I do agree if everone would pitch in it would help keep our lake clean. :drink:

I finally figured out the quote thing!!!

Thumper

I met you a few years back at Dog Days and checked out your 50 Nortech.

I just idled around over the holiday weekend - way too much crap floating. It cleared up Tuesday, weird after around 5 inches of rain Monday. Main channel stayed clean all week until Saturday, when it looked like crap again.

Hi Griff
Now I understand the suprised you can remember your screen name!

LET ME BE VERY CLEAR I Never owened a 50 Nortech I do know someone here at LOTO who did and has a 40 Skater now, let me assure you HELL NO!!! I am not that Jim
Thanks Thumper

LMAO, wonder if Jim is lurking under another screen name these days. We will have to sic Jassman on it, he was always good at finding his new alias.:drink:

I got your PM and I definately owe you an apology..and a few beers.

I'm not sure how many others thought you were Jim Darr, but I know there were a few. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Thanks Griff
I am Glad I asked if we met?
JIM DARR fu(k!
Knowing people thought I was him made me want to jump off a bridge but at LOTO they are all over water!

I drove 2300 miles one way to purchase a Skater from Power Boats N W and do you know what Joe Malich asked me when we went out to lunch, do I know a Jim Darr dude that says he is some big time boat dealer at LOTO who wanted to buy the Skater I purchased, and I told him, I am 2300 miles and still cant get away from it wholly chit. Kenny at Velocity called me a few years back and wanted to know who this Jim Darr dude is so from Florida to Seattle his reputation Procedes him and that is no monkey I want related to anything I do !!!!!!!!!
Call me some time I will drink those beers!!!
Thanks Thumper

Well we went out Sunday and be careful in the Big Niangua saw some big tree parts floating at the 8mm. Should clear up soon!:drink::cool-smiley-011:

Big time boat dealer that had his 50 Nortech sitting in an empty field along 54 with 3 feet of grass growing around it. Impressive dealership!:evilb::eek:

Well that is what he said, :bsflag:

My wife and I used to be a very small Velocity Dealer, I told Steve Stepp and Kenny to run away from any deal with him and Joe was glad not to have his calls on it anymore.
look me up on the water.

I'm in a Formula 350SS these days - so you will have to be idling for me to catch up!:drink:

All we have that runs is a pontoon with a 150 we could meet in the middle but that is still like 15 or 16 miles of are we there yet?
Thumper

Lake was pretty clear from the 14 to the 29, then started seeing more floaters; 06-06-09.

Did you run the other way to the dam?

My buddy was out in the Bat Boat today making a few runs at 130+ from the toll bridge to the 6 mile marker and said the water was great!!!!!.............:cool-smiley-011:
