It's alive. Had to put the old tubes back on until the new ones arrive.

Other than that it will hit the water this week.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

I stopped in at Dave's just in time to watch it come to life. I also stopped in with a couple of frozen Klondyke bars. Dave loves those. So after he shut them down we had ice cream.
Congratulations!
Let me know if you would like a chase boat for the seatrials. Dave R.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

I have confidence in Dave's work.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

The new tubes are finally here. Had to cut slightly larger holes.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Hey Dennis, looking good!!!! We have our fall poker run next weekend are you going?

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Hi Greg.

The current plan is to haul it down Saturday morning from Grand Rapids and splash it in the Grosse Ile area. Of course pending all the small details get finished. We added a electronic fuel advance system to eliminate the stalling issues when placing in gear. Should handle like a Sea Ray.

If the plan comes together I will drive up Friday evening from PC to the party Friday night.

Any good ramps up that way?

Added some diamond deck plates, electric winch and stainless hubs to the trailer as well.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Dennis, Im not really familiar with that area by land but ck the leope site fall poker run thread and there is some info on ramps there. Looking forward to seeing you guys.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

I just got off the phone with Rocky. There is a ramp right before crossing the bridge to Grosse Ile. Would splash early Saturday or even late Friday.

Unless something ugly raises it head we are planning to be there.

I do not know if we will stay over Saturday night.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

I wish I could join you guys next weekend. I would but my brand new engines are not running good. I am talking with Sterling about a pair of new motors. Here is a picture of last weekends fun run.

Looking good Mark.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Ok guys, so where are the pictures with 3 Ocean Express Cats running together at the LEOPA run??????????

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Welllllll. I think my boat is camera shy. I broke a propshaft on the first leg. :eek:

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Hey Greg, nothing personal, but do you have a big shaft or a small shaft???

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Dennis, your new exhaust looks like turrets for the Bismarck Battleship. :eek:

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

:eek: Hey now!!! Ok Ok (it's) a small shaft. Im looking into big shafts.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

You are as strong as your weekest part. Were you using adapters for your props or were they small shaft props?

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Adapters, But as to speedmaster the adapter was not the problem. The shaft was broke on a 45 meaning the shaft was fatigued. (that makes sense as to I know when that prob happened).

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

At least you have one prop. You could still be out in the boat with one prop. Just idle out to your nearest sand bar. Just think how much gas you will save. :p :p :p

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

he still has two props . . . hes just storing one in the Livingston channel :D :drink:

an besides . . what he saved in gas he lost in Cap'n Morgans on the idle back :drink:

Mark are you going to KeyWest this year? :cool:

Mark are you going to KeyWest this year? :cool:[/QUOTE]

Not sure yet. I might be working Lauderdale and Miami boat shows. At least one poker run. To be honest, it was not a great boating year for me. I am a member of LEOPA and did not have a running boat during both poker runs. I need to rethink my engine program.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Just installed the new boat lift.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Dennis, I heard that your new backyard is always flooded?

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Yep, it's called Lake Erie. Click on the pick to enlarge it and you can see it!

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Looks like a great location!! The lift looks nice too.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Hi Greg.

The house is directly on the lake facing Kellys and Put In Bay. I will post some pics of the lake view later.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

A couple pics from the rear deck.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Dennis, where are you going to put your boat when I bring mine over? I have not seen MY room at the new place yet.

I heard our boats will be together all winter.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 

Yep, the OE will winter in Grand Rapids, Mi.

Your room at the new house has been temporarily reserved for an extended family at the request of Kenye West and Jesse Jackson.

ASSOCIATED PRESS NEWS RELEASE: Tonight, former President William Jefferson
Clinton announced that he had officially appointed Catawba resident (unnamed)
as his Special Ambassador to the New Orleans Black Community. The unnamed resident has demonstrated that he understands the plight of our brothers in
the submerged City of New Orleans. He has designed his home with a very flat
roof and has agreed to provide velcro for both it and our brothers hair in
case Lake Erie is hit by a catagory 5 hurricane. No one will have to try to
keep their greasy azzez on slanted roofs ever again!" The Reverend
Jesse Jackson, although not understandable, seemed to echo the former
presidents praise.

"There is no replacement for displacement."
