I've got a guy you can ask if you have like 4 extra hours to waste. I got a 2 hour one on octane without even asking , he just saw me putting premium in the boat one day. Is anyone going out this weekend if we get some weather? Was in Sarasota last week and Ft. Myers last weekend for the race and got a itch!

Never saw HP6 filters at Lockwood. Will either order from Summit or look for the Wix equiv. Think I still have a case of Redline in the shed, gotta order more engine and some drive oil while I'm at it.

Not sure if I have the itch yet. Panther is working on it. I got all the cross referenced Fram part numbers, wife will be doing some shopping for me this week. All the Napa Race stuff is Wix so looks like the filters will be black this year. They even had a cross for the pcs5059 fuel filters although they are 3" shorter than the Frams. I should be running Saturday morning .......unless I get lazy again. May even run V-twin instead of Redline this year too, can get that a wally world.
Panther, how many gallons of drive oil you got?....ok so maybe now I am getting a little too ambitious

What's Chuckie have gas at this year? Has he taken a load of fresh fuel? Come on Panther & Sakoutis run more so you burn up all his stale fuel before I fill up.

I'll be out there just not sure what days yet. I have a BBQ to go to but can't reemember if it's Saturday or Sunday.

It should start getting warmer after tomorrow. So far the weekend looks sunny and 76 Saturday, 81 Sunday and 80 on Monday.


Mr. V, I put around 40+ gallons in on Sunday, it was $3.48 gallon. If you have the same Teague fuel filters as I do, the Napa PN is 3123 (Napa Highlands stocks it) I have a gallon of drive oil calling your name on it.

Besides I don't what to have to change the oil in the spring again to summer oil.....about the same time I change the air in the tires to summer air
What?? Do you shrink wrap the boat if it is sitting for more then a week too? Who said it was a good idea to leave your engine with no oil all winter? I am just asking it does not seem like a good idea. Winter and summer air? explain please

Mr V, I have a question I've been dying to ask you.

Do you change the winter and summer air in your tires because that winter air has been known to cause serious tire wear in July.

Mr. V, do you check the "born on date" when you buy your oil?
