Very impressive! Love the paint on your OL. Anything with checkers gets my attention.

Get well quick.

Yes, we wish you a quick recovery and hope you will join us when you feel ready. We would love to see you out front in the Skater or your OL. Perhaps one of our future destinations can be Fisherman's Village up there. We will appoint you Ft Meyers Offshore ambassador to Port Charlotte !! LOL Impressive boats for sure. In the mean time chat with us and be sure to throw in your $.02 whenever you feel like it. You've paid your dues !! I will check out your web site tonight.

To minimize confusion I would like to Recap what we know so far about the Feb. 4th fun run.

-The Fun Run for Sat. Feb. 4th is confirmed.
-We will assemble just outside Sanibel Harbor Resort just noth of the bridge for a 10:30 AM departure.
-Route will be discussed later but probably offshore north and Intercoastal south.
-Lunch will be at The Green Flash.
-Jayboat has made the lunch stop arrangements and will require both a final boat and head count.
-As of Jan. 21/06 Jay had a count of 15 confirmed boats with an unknown number of crew. It will help him greatly if others have since decided to join us that you either make a posting here or contact him by way of PM.
-Thank you Jay for all your work both on the board and behind the scenes.
- More later as things continue to progress.

Yeah the 4th is my birthday! I am turning 25! I was really hoping to have a new to me formula 382 by the time of this run but the deal is not quite done so I will be in my 311....... What a birthday present that would have been.
My Dad will be comming with me and if the weather is nice so will my Mom. To bad my girl friend is in Minnesota, she is a little pissed that she is missing this!

HaHa, Bob! I have a special vehicle that I use for OSO members... Since I am unable to give anyone a ride in a boat right now, I figure it's the least I should do...

Also, if anyone has an extra seat, I have extra gas money...

Happy Early B-Day Don I will be down on Monay the 30th but regretfully have to fly back on the 2nd I will be following this thread in hopes that in the near future I will be able to join one of these get togethers. I'm pretty sure there is a 35 Donzi on the lift at the Cape Right now. Looking forward to someday meeting some infamous boaters from OSO.

From the Great White North, See Ya

Jayboat,
Sweet Shuttle What kind of top end does she have
BTW your quote hits the nail on the head

Hey Josh!
Top end has yet to be determined, but should be way up there with the addition of special high speed bottom wax, k-planes and oso-approved adjustable duct tape steps. It will go up the ramp as fast as anything!

If any of you local guys have the inclination, here is a jpeg that could be used for a flyer to post anywhere that might have interest in what we are doing. If you want a high res image, pm me with your email and I'll send one.

With good weather this is how we should look on Feb 4th run. These pics are of PRA- Ft Meyers Poker Run spring /04.
Something to look forward to. Enjoy.
Bob
