Mke, to call Frank an old timer thats not right. Allthough he does have a bad back and less hair then he did a couple of years ago. As a Non boat owner in here just to dream of haveing a river boat like kreed, I would say Frank Always backs up his mouth. I have been on his boat on several trips when he has left big horsepower boats in his wake when the water has been ruff...

Ok, listen ,Im just checkin. Jay seems to think he can out run you in 3 ft chop with his formula so Im just curious, thats all.:party-smiley-004:

Nope....Jay and I run exactly even. We leave at the same time and get to the bar at the same time :drink::drink::drink:

Riccio, why do you have to come on here and insult Franks physical features??? :point:

How many times do you stop for a beer break ????????Ha Ha Ha .....

Beer break no need ill bring pleanty promise
-Mike

Try again Kev!!!! I'd get "yelled" by a certain Fiancee' if I even tried to outrun Jason in 3' chop!!!!! I'll leave that to you guys...... I'll still get to the bar though!!!! :drink::drink:

We are not EVEN!!!!! 2-3 MPH faster for the big Jason.... remember "weinie blocks" for the JayMan!!!! (For now!!!!!) wink wink!!!!

"weinie blocks" move that thing pretty good....I got video from yesterday to prove it!!

Video huh? I never thought about that. I may have to get a camera:evilb:

I like the "wink wink" Jay. That means you are a man with a plan ! I like that. Can you give us a small taste of what your lookin at?:party-smiley-004:

Kev let me know how you make out talking to that guy and how you make out if you go and see it.
-Mike

Either a 38 or 42 Ciggy or Fountain w/ EFI's....something early 2000's. But need to sell mine first!!!! Maybe next spring!!!!! :drink:

You got it Mike.

Now we are talking! In opinion(for what it is worth) go with the Top Gun vs. Tiger. I actually like the Tiger better but they are harder on drives and don't have the resale the Gun has but both are beautiful. Jay would you be looking for a twin step or straight bottom boat?

I take it you don't like Fountain's Frank..... I know you're a Ciggy fan thru and thru! Nothing wrong with that!

Twin step all the way...... I feel I'd being going backward with a straight bottom boat....hell, even my Formula now is twin step!!!

It's not that I don't like Fountains,love the older ones. There are boats I like better. Why not a 38 Fastech? Kevin Jay may have a number1 on the side of his boat first.:party-smiley-004:

I've had 2 Formula's......both great boats, but I'm going to change it up for my next ride! :drink:

Fair enough but I got to thinking enough with the boat talk winter is coming I need to get some beers in you and take you shopping down to Hunters Snowmobile in Wallingford for one of these. 10M what do think can we find Jay a ride?

Now we're talkin! It would be cool to find a fun group of guys who can ride sleds like we drive boats. So far I've found 2...ever.

Browse below or stop by with Frank & Co, I'd be glad to show you around.

How big are your machines. A buddy of mine has a 600 he lets me use. My cousin has a 1200 but its a mofo to get him to let me use it
-Mike

I've ridden/had them all. 800s are still my favorite. You can't beat their power-to-weight ratio for aggressive trail riding. I put about 1500 miles on a 1200X last year, it's an awesome sled but a little heavier and slower on the top end than an 800. If the 1200 was turboed and making 300HP, I'd make the permanent switch.

Speaking of...Frank you mentioned earlier that you never keep any toys longer than 2 years. That shiny yellow sled is a 2008... this is Model Year 2010...i'll have to verify by calculator but i think thats 2.

You are right, the boat paint took front seat. I am also waiting to see if Skidoo comes out with supercharged or turbo this year. I am planning on ordering a new one in March:drink:

Kevin you need to get on this as well!!! What are you gonna be doing while we are all in VT. having a big time. Craig we need to find Kevin a sled to. Okay so far on the board we Sammy,JBoutlaw,Rolie,CRaig and myself. I am telling you Jay and Kev it is as much fun the only difference is the water is frozen and there are more bars. Oh yeah and the machines are faster and only hold 10 gallons of gas!

Can't blame you for going for paint first. Turbo 1200 would be cool, we'll see.

In boats we go from CT to LI or RI...On sleds we go from VT to Quebec to Maine to New Brunswick to Ontario back to VT. We're lucky to go 80 miles in a day in the boats, I rarely go less than 300 a day on sleds....and it's always an adventure. A lot of those "can't describe it unless you were there" situations. good times.

Hey Craig what about a one day event for oso guys to get 10% off???? So when is the open house anyways?

Kevin see it happening right in front of you the boat talk is over we have moved on with or with out you. I am sure Ron will be around all winter though:evilb:

how did the bullet work out?
-Mike

I talked to him, needs more work than I want to put into a boat right now. Sounds complete, but needs total updating. Good Project for someone. Thank you for the lead Mike.

I need some feed back

Im in ...Here is a pic from back in the day (1999 Island pond VT) over 60' on a flat landing .And one from last season (Tug Hill )

Nice! Was that sled a 99 670ho?

Good eye... Last of the true old school muscle sleds.Like a old 396 big block Camaro.I put 4500 miles on that sled that year.

:cool-smiley-027: Frank is right. Its a blast! Frank you might want to think twice about letting Kevin loose in your basement in VT. He trashed mine on Sat. RP

a little more inspiration:
