The support truck is for Billy. He can't get over 4400 rpm out of his engines. Thats Merc Smart Craft for ya. If one motor is sick it makes all three sick. Plus it didn't help him blowing that drive this weekend. As for me come on down I'll buy the first round. Until I find a blower it looks like thats the only boating I'm gonna be doing.

That explains why on the way back he didn't walk away from the resin bucket by Spring Lake. Got on it slowly and it looked like he wanted to play, knudged em forward some more and he was still there, hammers down and we walked away and I backed off when my wife started yelling.

Sunday night coming back windy and a following sea Tina was gettin a little nervouse so I slowed down. I looked over at her and asked if she was gettin wet from the spray. She says no I'm alright. 2 minutes later I look up and a wall of water comes over the bow and fills the cockpit with water. I 'd sware it didn't stop for 20 seconds. It was so much I was holdin my breath waitin for it to stop. After that I didn't need to ask we were all soaked to the skin. I thought it was funny as hell but Tina had the last laugh she was the only one on the boat with a change of clothes.

One drive motor is out bad switch. we set it on two so I could have alittle possitive trim. But it wasn't enough for that.
After it happened I started watchin the wave action every fifth or sixth one would crash on its self they weren't that big it was the wind pushin them over.

Geeze we gotta teach you all the tricks. Keep a 4" piece of wire on the boat so you can jump the solenoid and trim the drive up or down to get it close. That boat should love a following sea, we're gonna need to send you down to Tres for a little driving school

Hey Panther, what did I say on Sunday afternoon, Chuck is going to need to pay for that new OL. I think I hear a blower bearing going bad in saks boat. Damn, didn't think it would come true that quickly.

We like the mufflers. Brett told me that we sounded good coming home Saturday!

When we got back to the dock I was asked if I was running 85, I said; no, only 80 or so...

I keep thinking there's something wrong with my GPS cause everyone thinks I'm going faster than I really am... or maybe they're going slower than they really are......

I know how to short out a solenoid I'm sure I could teach you some tricks. I don't need Tres. I needed some speed to get on top. Thats what I get for trying to make people comfortable.

Now as far as that blower bearing. I'm gonna blame you two for puttin the evil eye on my boat. I'll tell Chuck where to send the bill.
