Bringing my sample bolt down tomorrow to 8 made a286. Hopefully they will be done quick. Did boat this weekend and it SUCKED!

Letterip.... I know I know ez fix. Just so fukkin sick of working on the thing especially since I'm goin to dismantle it in about a month!

Might just drop it off at my boys Marina. Like I said busy week coming up.

Just ran ply to north river yesterday.
A.m. ride was calm with 1' rollers spaced way out!! Nice..
Afternoon shower sucked.
Pm ride home was decent w 2-3' choppers

Is everyone still planning on next Saturday?

I believe so. Spoke with my buddy and he's getting the 51 ready to go!

Naaaa we cancelled it because Bill "chewtoy's " sutphen is getting toooo much "man/mecanic love!.......


Tease tease......

Bait.....?????

Yes Tom it's on! & seems to bee lookig like a good showing from my
Phone calls......!!!!

Nah just broke the one, But I wanted to replace them all because Im worried they have work hardened or somthing, come s from all the years racing cars i guess if one broke the rest probbaly arent far behind and I really dont want to lose a 300X at speed.

Of course they were not very strong bolts so now I am wondering if they were meant to be a shear point, and the 286 isnt such a good Idea?? Waiting to here back from merc on that. Might also call the makers of the porta bracket if merc doesnt get back to me soon.

Just want it right and safe!

OFFICIAL UPDATE OFFICIAL UPDATE

Talking With Shawn more today...... & he confirmed by a contact of His that it looks like...... WE ARE Going to have a Helicopter Taking organized photos!
Also at a Very Fair Rate to buy the pictures afterwards, unlike the CRACK prices that we have seen from these of sites recently.

We will keep all posted - no guarantees but 95% sure on it.


One thing I am thinking is..... we need a corralling of all the Sutphens together somehow in a photo... We will make a effort to try to organize that with the cameraman.

& maybe a line up of ALL boats in attendance line up style for a picture!

I think at this point ...we need some feedback on Boat / Roll Call on who is planning on attending..... next week.

Keep it short....! We need just a count as everyone reads this if you are coming, .... Post it up here! And if other boats are coming with you but they are not on OSO ... then, speak for them please so we get a accurate count.


I have my Sutphen & my friend Dave with his Powerplay ... so there is 2
Add yours to this count...

Brian
