Default When will you be on the water?

For those of us in the colder climates, when do you think you'll be on the water? I think we were on the water April 17th last year. It was damn cold, but worth it.

When I use to live in MN we tried to make it out on the second or third weekend in april. You are right it was cold! But we didn't care.

They were 16.5 x 33's @6100rpm's. Those engines are gone. I fired up the new mills yesterday and will be prop testing this weekend.

Just re-read your post. I do still have those props.
