Key West
 

Who is bringing their boat down this year? We will be down for the whole week and will also be doing the Thursday run.

Donnie - you bringing your 33 down?

Cant touch this I am sure will be there

Anyone else?

We plan to be there the entire week with ours. Maybe we will get to go for a ride in the 38? Looking forward to a great week. See you there Chris! Donnie

As long as I get a ride in the 33'!!

Anytime Chris.We will be there sat.3rd-sun.11th. Are you doing the poker run? If so, what day are you coming down?

Have fun guys. Hope to do the Miami run, any of you plan on being there.

Same Dates. I am going to run up to Sunshine Key on Thursday and meet the group and then run down. You should join us with the 33!

I am going up thursday also. I have an offer to ride down with a friend from Miami,but trying to find a seat for a friend that is with us. I will probably be running up with you to sunshine. Should be great!

have you done the ride to Sunshine before?

Sunshine is easy to find from the Ocean side. They have a huge American flag and are on the north side of the Bahia Honda bridge/ it is on the south side of the 7 mile bridge.

Been there many times. It is a nice ride from Ket West. I may leave a little early if I need fuel. Stu makes you wait for all the poker run boats too fuel first.

The group that is having lunch at Sunshine Key is the 100+ group and the Ft.Myers group. Should be interesting!

I am bringing my 38' "Can't Touch This" down on the thursday run. I just built new engines and am going to try them out on this run. I am also bringing my new chopper that is painted to match the boat. So see you guys on the run. John

i will have my 24 pantera there for the week of the races

Nice! I am looking forward to catching up with you guys

Key West Run
 

Hey Guys is anyone running to Key West by water? We are talking about running the 38 Outboard Powerplay down for the weekend before the poker run guys come down.

powerplaysales...JROMY tells me you can rack a 33' PowerPlay, is this true? I'm looking for an in & out service next spring for my 33 until it sells. Sorry about the hi-jack fellas.

No problem storing the 33. Call me later this week after the boat show and we can set it up for you. Tuna 860-946-9889

Tuna, if you and Tom are in Key West for the poker run the wife n I would like to buy you that beer back.

We Both will be there..Your Buying

It would be my pleaure. Looking forward to it. Send Tom our reguards.

do you guys have any pics of your trip??

We broke down the first day....I do have pictures of Donnie's 33 and Cant Touch This which I will post later. I even saw the outboard 38, which looked great

cowisl saw your boat in the slip and it looked GREAT

cowisl what happened?

Thanks guys....We had water reversion. Trouble shooted and thought it was bad headers. Long story short, we broke a connecting rod and a rocker arm. The old headers are at cmi being tested again- they were just tested in July and passed. Brand new motor too - things that make you go hmmm....

cowisl, I'm sorry to hear that, not fun!!!!! Are your CMI's "cool collars"? I wonder how many issues the CMI's have had over the last couple of years. Wish that I had Stelling headers on our PP. Hope everything works out!!! Robbie

How many inches are your tailipipes?

Just got a phone call from CMI. The old ones passed again! The tails were brand new and i am using cmi tips with an enternal baffle with hpi external flaps. Let me dig up a pic to figure out how long my tails are...Any ideas guys? This motor has about 3 hours on it!

If you have any rubber hose between the exhaust parts check it for damage in the inner liner, Karaoke Mike had this issue with his Formula. The inner liner came down like a flap and caused it to revert water.

Just heard back from the machine shop. The valve that broke was not spec - the rest of them were. Looks like the machine shop that rebuilt the engine initially ran out of the right valves!

WOW!!!! That really sucks!! Are they going to take care of you? Lets us know how things go! Robbie

The motor is now back together and runs great (so i am told). I will have the discussion with engine builder tomorrow. We shall see how it turns out.

Chris, did they tell you what happened? Sorry it broke at such an inconvenient time. It would have been fun running around the Keys with it. Hope the builder helps take care of it. Did you leave the boat in Florida?

Hey Donnie. The boat is now at the Port Marina in Lauderdale for the winter season. I hope everything is good to go now. We shall see this weekend.
