You know his girlish figure better than anyone... you tell me:angry-smiley-038:

How many years have you lived with him? :lolhit:

His whole life... I'm pretty sure that I have legally taken over as his biological father

Or weird uncle that likes to touch him...

Mail went out this morning Kid. Just a few more weeks till the run :drink:

Kid... you and D-rocka take your 2010 OSO Seniority and cram it :lolhit:
We don't talk to higher ranking members that way

may do the run after all J... any cost?

Haha..I don't think profile owners have seniority anywhere. I think its $70 for the run includes and lunch and 2 shirts and however much the LEOPA membership is. Shirts are donated by Sunsation Powerboats:drink:

How dare you Derek... It's sunsation WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OFFSHORE powerboats

Chud Checkmate may split fuel with me so I may be in... plus 288 asked if I'd come down so we could hear some music :p

Don't know, most of the time the word Champion is used when something was won... But who knows?

One would think:eek::lolhit:

$70 for run. $60 for yr membership, $30yr after that. You must be registered by Fri.

When is this run?

June 4th starting in monroe

Oh I see, thanks!:coolcowboy:

Maybe Tom will let you borrow his trailer:lolhit:

First time out with new boat and we loved it and all went well, but I do have two questions.

1. The left shifter seemed a bit reluctant at times to go into gear, is there an adjust for that? And then I would bet it would be back back at the motor right? Lastly did you ever encounter similar? Just curious.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I never had any problems with either engine on the 300 going in gear,on one of my 290s I had one engine was at times a little hard/stiff to go in gear,I had to (simple repair)remove the top/side cap on the outdrive and clean and lude the detend spring/check ball assembly,that took care of it and I was told Merc recoments you do that every couple of years.------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. The throttles seem like they could use a bit more resistance or tension on them as one or both seemed to move a little while under way. Like once we were going and were at desired pace I would let go and look back a bit later and they were no longer side by side.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I never drive with my hands off the throttle so I would never known but it is a simple adjustment,,with the engines OFF!!!move the throttles forward spread the black rubber boots apart and you will see a allen head screw,you can turn it in 1/2 a turn at a time until you get the resistance you like,same could be done with the shifters as well,,Hope this helps and hope you enjoy your new boat,
Tom

Is there anything you dont know? Always willing to help thomas, thats what i like about you. You are a people person like myself......

Where are all the hotties......oh I know they are in the cabin making drinks!!!!

Dennis that weekend was just a test and tune... it wasn't Go Time yet! :p

That was more to do with the anodes post had put out there. That body of water seems to be very corrosive compared to what I have seen.

No doubt! Dang global warming :angry-smiley-038:

Look at that water, where is that?

Did not take that as a question..more or less a heads up to the guys that boat on the chain!

Not sure about the water and the anodes,
I never had to replace them on any of my boats they allways looked ok to me,
but this year when we serviced Calvins 380 outdrives the anodes were worn out and we replaced both sets and he does dock next to me but both boats are on lifts,so not sure if its the water,age or the cabin crusers that stay pluged in at our marina,

But they are there to serve a purpose and replaced when worn,its a maintance thing.

if I would have listened to my wife and kept the boat ....when It was time for the sping check up I would have noticed them worn and replaced them myself.


The fun of Boating!

that is Torch Lake... i'd recommend a trip up to see it in person it is like boating in blue kool-aid. I'm slipped there this year give me a heads up if you make it up that way... my cooler is always full :D

Oh you keep it up there year round? Do you make it to the 6th great lake or just keep it up there? Shoot after seeing that I might keep my wanna be an offshore up there.:lolhit: Holy cow that is some sweet water, is it really cold?

I'll be down to LSC for the Lake St Clair Run June 24th and also for the raft-off. Probly hit Grand Haven for Coast Guard Fest as well.
The lake temp is colder than most but not too bad actually... warmer than the Great Lakes that's for sure. Some years it feels warmer so I'll have to see on memorial day and report back.
wanna be offshore? I don't discriminate against small blocks lol... come on up

Would like too check that out, but not in the cards this year, baby on the way in less than 5 weeks and that = no trips this year:eek: but might take a drive up there. I can't get over how the water looks amazing maybe too many years on the swamp st. clair:lolhit:

I work alot like you guy's and was trying to slow down my life so I bought small blocks:lolhit:

Well its about 3.5 hrs from you... got room on the 29 if you make it

3.5 hours not too bad! Thanks for the offer AJ:coolcowboy: Do you have any more pictures?

Hmm... will dig up some old ones later on and get em all in one thread

Amazing:boat: I thought your boat was only fresh water:lolhit: It looks like the ocean I hope you had that picture made larger?

Wisconsin? WS

Boat came from Minnesota, previous owner had just moved there from Wisconsin. Decided to run out his registration before I transfered it to Michigan for this summer.

288 you coming to the fun run?

Yup, I will be there. I got a hellacious week straight of boating planned and that's the second day of it.
