Hey Mark, Almost ready for this weekend. We are leaving at 5am Sat morning. Question, The ramp is right next door to the Goose? Do you need to make reservations to launch or is it first come first serve? What's the name of the place? I need deep water to launch off of the trailer but I'm sure they accomidate larger boats than mine. We should be getting there around 8, I'll call you when we get there, keep an eye out for me.

I'll help you out Bill. It's Anchor Marine. $10 (unless it went up) a day everyday your truck sits there plus a tip to the golf cart guy. Plenty of water and a pretty long ramp with docks. It's nice.

Thanks Howard! Hey are you up and running yet? Whats the hold up or have you decided to sit this season out?

Your only an hour to hour & half to Anchor Marine from Phila.

LOL, yea I know but if I say 5 she'll be ready maybe 6. Then she'll want to stop and eat ect. ect. ect. We'll be there by 9ish. There's a method to my madness, but I do outthink myself sometimes! And we're waiting for another couple who's riding with us.

No. I have run into some minor issues that I didn't anticipate though. That and now that the boat is all but finished work is heating up so my time with it is limited. It should hit the water soon. I just need a couple more days with it.

Had an absolute BLAST this weekend. Made all the work worth while. I was truely humbled by some of the boats out there. Economic crisis my azz! Everyone aboard had a great time and the stops we made where great. The big water and being able to open her up was a treat too. I see I still have alot to learn. Seat time, seat time! Can't wait for the next trip! Mark, thanks so much for being our guide and leader, LOL. Sorry about missing dinner. When we got to Woody's only a few minutes later it was a short wait and like an azz I left my phone in the room so we didn't know where you guys went. The bride was starving so we stayed there. I'll give you a call this week. I need the number for that place close by that does the power boats. I need to get that oil leak fixed right away! Talk to you soon.

Sounds like you guys had a good time. We need to set up another run in a few weeks. I will be back home in a week and a half and would seriously enjoy running with you guys. Let me know if anyone is interested.

I know I'm in. I have to find a pretty bad oil leak first. What a mess. Looks like the balancer is slinging it around so Maybe its the front crank seal? I hope it's not the front of the pan gasket. We're gonna clean it up today and try to see where it's coming from on the garden hose. The more the merryer. I was lost out there so I'm still a follower. Keep posting and we'll set another date soon.

we are probably going back in 2 weeks or so.maybe a trip to red eyes in in the mix. will keep everyone posted on the plans. love all that big water. :drink: mark
