If you really want to get out on Travis, it's not a problem...private marinas can get you on the water without any trouble.

It's really nice right now too without all the traffic.

Lake Travis is very low, but still has a lot of water in it. Mansfield is still open I believe and there are several other parks with ramps and others that have access to unloading a boat. I unload at Pace Bend at least twice a month with a 30 footer. Four wheel drive is a must, but works just fine. And the marina idea is great too, so c'mon out and enjoy Labor Day!!! See ya at the cove!!!

Well, took delivery yesterday (late at night to be exact). I am very happy with the whole thing. We spent today detailing her up, steam cleaned all the carpets and walls in the cabin, and did a thorough clean of the trailer and the boat. Very sexy setup Started up the EFI 500 and heard this random noise, didnt know what the hell it was. Sounded like it was coming from the transom area, my first thought is "****, the outdrive is clanking, must be the U-joints". Well, after some searching and listening, I look into the exhaust and see some reversion flaps... thought to myself there is no way its that simple. Proppped em open and started her up, no noise, took out the props...noise is back... first experience with a full stainless exhaust with stainless flappers inside lol. I feel like a moron, but at least my outdrive is ok lol. Here is a pic out front. More to follow tomorrow.

Great looking Heat, I think we got ours from the same place just after you, both our Heats are on the High Country Transport website ours is pictured with the Flying J service station. Jealous of your 500 EFI!

Haha, thanks funny I open up their website and see my boat on the header lol. I want royalties! J/k. No need for jealousy, you too can own a 500efi if I can talk my wife into something a bit...bigger. Nice Heat btw, I like the graphic scheme on yours a lot.

Are you dropping it in the water at the beach like I see a lot of people doing? Haven't seen a 30 footer done yet tho!

Jay, get her in the water yet? I bet she'd be quite the eye catcher at Lake Belton.

Yeah I have blown through a few tanks of fuel lol. She does turn heads on Belton for sure lol. I have put on about 10 hours so far, but I am now on the way back to Iraq so boating season is over for me should be back around Christmas....
