WOW!!!! this thread is dieing off about as fast as Powerquest's bank account did:drink: :evilb:

Everybody is busy prepping the new rides for spring!!!

I hope................

I was thinking the same thing.

Or profile's build quality... :eek:

:poopoo:I was really looking for the **** hitting the fan one, where is that one?

A guy over on sunsation posted this link to a run in late April: http://www.chicagoloopcruise.com/ I am thinking about doing the run if any of you guys would like to join and run your boats or ride on mine... although if you ride on mine there is a must drink policy... and no, MGD 64 does NOT count as a drink:drink:

Bringing an attractive female is encouraged although not required...
Also let it be known that trash talk about PQ, while aboard the PQ, will result in immediate discharge from the cockpit regardless of speed... and no I wont bother to toss a flotation device after you since they are getting expensive these days :D

Drock won't retaliate bc he knows chit talkers don't get to tie up to AJ... and end up just getting drown out by the PQ's nasty audio system :D
KID288 gets a pass bc I feel for him when they make him wear his helmet...

KID288 even has to have someone watch him when he goes to the doctor bc last time he got in trouble for licking the X-Ray machine...

Kid288 aka Corky. LMAO:eek:

Thats some funny chit!!!

You guys work together,right??

How do you do that???photoshop???
making him look normal size but the boat small???

Boatnt,

I can't believe it I found one thing wrong the trailer...:eek: LOL
There was a break line leak right at the controller. Fixed and bled, just not sure yet if I am going to put the box on or not.:drink:

We are employed by the same factory... I wouldn't say he 'works' tho Lmao

LMAO!!!!!

Well that explains a whole lot!!!!! :drink::drink:

fish...you crack me up. where do you come up with these pics? that river loop thing looks fun. our loud exhaust would pry piss the crownline people off..haha would be a fun weekend tip though.

as far as build quality...i have no idea. so far only a couple guys have had problems that ive seen on here and i only saw a couple stress cracks up by the fairing. not too bad for a 17yr old boat that has spent its life on LOTO and the great lakes.

The loop run is pretty cool. It was always put together by Grand Sport. The launch ramp gets a little crazy because there are only 2 lanes. Kind of cool to see dowtown Chicago from the river side if you never did it. A lot of no wake when you are downtown, otherwise you go pretty good distance without having to shut down.
You have to be carefull if it rains a day or 2 before the run. You will be dodging floating trees. One guy ripped his drive off one year.
Been out more than once on the river where they were pulling a dead body out of the water.

Hey Verbie, this is the same waterway where your boat is. Only a few sets of locks to go thru...

Sounds interesting but I think I have to figure out all the buttons and levers first before I go and play pinball with a bunch of other boats floating around me.......could be fun though!! :drink:

Verbi, you'll find your 380 to handle like a dream. Both engines at idle and work the shifters...don't get the drives up too high or they won't hook-up. Cross wind and you may need a bit of throttle too. I'm sure you would have volunteers to ride on your boat...they make the best docking fenders!

:ernaehrung004:It will be an interesting learning curve which I cannot wait to undertake....thanks for the info.

Dont sweat it........When in doubt throttle up:drink:

The legend returns... have fun in E.C..... Dick....

:eek:

Take it easy Kid.....That is Uncle Calvin you are talking about!!!!:eek:

:grinser010::grinser010:

Don't worry Uncle C...

:eek: X2
WTF????????????????????

Is there some behind the scene fitting we're missing???

Remember, this is not the Sunny side forum.

All I could think of when I read this was the sceen from Days Of Thunder when Cole was making laps in Rowdy's car for the first time and comes over the radio and says "Harry I'm dropping the hammer" !!!:greenchainsaw:

Yup, brushed a small buoy after a long day of drinking and tryin to hustle back idling fast... I think you were able to plane your boat and not get in trouble since it looks so much like a 25 (outlaw) lol... but hey guess that happens when your bow rises over the horizon and you can't see, not like you would know anything about that in your shallow hulled 288 :p

Oh btw- you figure out how to pull up to the dock without running into it and gouging the Hell out of your boat? LMAO

It was a slip, 20mph cross wind and retarded brother. Hell of a combination...

Long day of drinking can't be your excuse... I don't think u launched ur boat till 3pm...

Duno ask chad he didn't see it either... just a little paint smudge an inch long, nothing Mitch can't touch up in a sec

Dint say it wasn't just a smudge, just asked of u ever hit anything referencing you'd been on spring lake before.

Chad didn't see anything cause he had his head in your lap LOL

Anyone lookin for a good laugh can go check out the card shark thread and have a look at some photo editing for all of the numb nuts arguing aimlessly lol

I saw that...gotta love all the tough guys out there!!!

I like your photo editing AJ!!

New article said they have found aluminum props to be better than stainless now a days for big power. Have to test a pair this spring.

The brass sail boat props are faster than the aluminum ones which are better than the stainless ones.
I'd skip the whole aluminum thing and go straight for the brass!!! (I'm surprised Tom didn't give you the brass set he had for the 300!!):grinser010:

I'm surprised tom didn't tell you bout the extensive hull repair that was done on the boat when he bought it salvage titled...

:poopoo: You weren't suppose to say anything!!!! :party-smiley-004:

Kind of figured thats why he sold it.:eek:

See I kid around about things in general that aren't specific to anyone as this thread had started to die off lately and then you have to go THERE???
