Campion has been working a 4 week plant shutdown same as I have been....probably at camp drinking beer and relaxing.
Whats the story on the sunny??

Oh nuttin just sayin his boat was ratted out Bla Bla Bla... I told him I saw pics and it looked like brand new.

I havent gone over to see it yet but it is my understanding that it was just in need of some good ol' elbow grease.

What do you guys use for transom tie downs?
Are there any out there that have closed looped ends, clasp type??

The ones on my boat are badass, hooks on both ends, rubber backs where it touches the boat and a single lever motion tightens them and the slack is held tight with velcro

Are there any out there that have the spring latch to make it a closed loop and not an open ended hook??

Unsure, Google transom tie down see what u find

Did that and didn't come up with much , just big industrial stuff, thats why I'm asking.

Verbi,

Have you tried looking at Princess Auto...never know what you'll find there!

I looked around and didn't find much either, maybe you could modify your current straps with new hook with spring latches

:eek:Aj been up at camp kicking back some Coors Light and putting some hrs on the 32. As far as my boat, I hope I am wrong but my boat was far from trash. One owner boat with very low hrs. Just cleaned it up to our personal liking added a killer stereo, tuned up both engines, runs awesome. My wife and I are very meticulous. Boat is mint and spotless:drink:

did you do anything with the ecus yet??

Now look here little AJ...Don't put words in my mouth. I spoke to Campion Chase on that boat via PM's and I believe I told him exactly how that boat was before he picked it up. It was dirty and needed a detail and a little bit of gel work. And to say my boat is washed with a "mud hose", you can stick that mud hose up your ass! My personal possessions are well taken care of, and you can ask Jay how that boat is/was when he picked it up. I won't put up with your shi*, and neither will any of my friends that you like to bash on here and other sites. Why would I be personable to a guy that bashes people I know, that you've never met? Up until this point, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but you're losing a lot of length on that leash with me already.

Good idea, I just may have to take a stop by and have a look.

I'm thinking the same thing Aj.....

Dude, are you still grinnin' ear to ear when you get in that beast??
Heading to Orillia tomorrow for the Big Chief party Friday......I just know I'm gonna have a headache!!! :drink:

in testing as we speak, don't want to go crazy or anything but factory tunes are a little fat, there is some room for reliable improvement:grinser010:

Need4Speed,
What are you hoping to run speed wise with the new motors??
You must be like a 10 year old waiting to open gifts on Christmas morning!!

O7 the boat is exactly the way you described it, nothing a lillte elbow greas could clean. I put a new sink in it with tap also because there was some stains, had carpets shampooed, and the wife scrubed the interior spotless, probably a good 16hrs of cleaning the interior. As far as the gel, the starboard side had a couple of small dock rash, probably from his lift he had it stored on, nothing out of the ordinary. I had those small scuffs repaired. Ordered the bow cover for it and also waxed the chit out of it, like a mirror, very happy with it. Oh I almost forgot the wife ordered me some new drink holders as the original had some nicks on them. Also upgraded the sound system with 2 12 inch subs etc sounds great Off to camp again for the long week-end! Have a good one Cheers!:ernaehrung004:

Yes how did you guess:eek:Also on holidays for another week:drink:

I love the sound of it coming out of the water:eek:but so does the gas gauge:drink: Hope you have a great time out there, suppose to have some nice weather, I'll be floating on Agnew, with Jay and Darren:lolhit:

Nah, trying not to get too excited...I got a lump of coal in my Christmas stocking when I was 10 :eek:

Good news/Bad news...lake level is 3' higher than average of the past three years. You'd think that's good right? No, everything lying around on shore is now lurking around in the lake...logs, docks, out houses, etc. They still log the mountains and use log booms on the lake.

Good news/Bad news...finish work tomorrow, head to the lake Friday, GF meeting up Saturday and put the boat in. Weather's gonna be good too. You'd think that's good right? No, see above...itching to run...just not into dead heads.

Good news/Bad news...GF is going to be there...do her instead of the lake:kiss: You'd think that's good right? No, she just quit smoking:angry-smiley-038:

Anyway just happy to get out there...intall a new stereo and then drink way too much:drink: Only out for the weekend then busy again. Vacation time in late July thru to labour day weekend. Obama-Bin-Laden better tap some more oil reserves while I'm boating...and I'll break open my piggy bank again (just glued the damn thing back together)!

Speed wise, if the lake isn't as bad as I've heard I would love to test it and maybe touch 90. Before all the work seeing 84+ mph...6 mph gain seems reasonable. Wait and see what the GPS tells me!!! I know some prop work needs to be done yet.

Hope everyone has a great 1st/4th weekend!!! Keep safe and take lots of pic's:drink:

Right on, play safe and have fun! Say hi to the boys.

Darn, that almost makes one want to stay home and just wax the boat!! :eek:
Good luck and hope it works out!

1. "little" AJ? Lol
2. Maybe you had a few too many beers but I remember what was said.
3. Your "friends" bashed 288Kid and I from the start, we tried being civil but since the 'clique' didn't agree with the way we did things we got bashed into oblivion. Now its just funny to get you guys riled up, I know you guys troll the PQ forum even though us PQ guys get bashed for bein in the sunny forums.
4. Some of you guys take this internet stuff way too seriously... You know my boat, if you have any issues I'll be right in the center of the sandbar next to the Yellow HTM Cat. Can't miss me ;)
:coolcowboy:

Better just hop in that beast F450 and make the trip to Torch Mike... got a good spot for ya right next to the 290! I'll even bring another Skull Vodka up for ya!

Took a couple of days off...time to unwind and have a couple of cold ones!!!!:drink:

Come on now little AJ!!
knock that chit off,you are coming down for the Thunder Run in a couple of weeks,,I dont want you all scratched up and chit..I want you to look good in Calvins 380,,,as we blow by you guys in the 300 :drink:

Leavin work around 5 so I can make it down... bringing the wine coolers for ya! Careful I'm bringing some prochargers down for uncle C we're goin CIG HUNTING! :evilb:

The word on the street is that Uncle C might not be there...:party-smiley-004:

Oh i will be there

:popcorn::popcorn::bong:

Dennis make room for you ???

Truth Hurts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:kiss:

I did not want to have to bring this up but.....Uncle C asked to borrow the Baja for the Thunder Run. Little AJ will look good on the Baja!!

Don't make me drag the powerquest 'apache hunter' down there!!

Damn...sounds good Aj.
I need a spot to tie up to and plug into at night though...

Verbi, hows the 38 running? are you happy with the speed?

Yes and no......one engine was difficult to pull 4900 rpm while the other had no issues....but either wouldnt pull 5200.
I was told the boat needed to have the high pressure fuel filters changed which I havent done yet. (I'm hoping its a simple fix)
It was 90 degrees out, 4 adults loaded with all kinds of weekend stuff, water, beer, pop, wine, on and on and on.
I was too busy watching for boat traffic, the tach, triming, and using the tabs....water was like a washing machine. I dont remember seeing 80 on the speedo but gps recall is showing 82....so I dunno what to think.
Rides pretty darn nice and the a/c at the dock was really nice to have though!

Another 4th here and gone, currently in negotiations with my liver as to when it is going back to work

Heading north
