since somebody posted in this forum. What going on ?? Oh yea the boat show sucked, it is cold as hell and getting colder by weeks end, and it is still 4 months till boating !!!

Remind me.. we live here why ???

Is there a decent Chicago area poker run?

Google Northern Illinois Offshore Club. They are a local club and have several events during the season.

Hey Smitty - Obnoxus says you have a pair of shorties you aren't using...any truth to that? Cuz I happen to be in the market...

They are still on the boat. Only have 50 hours since complete check over/rebuilds. If I could find a like new (low hrs new style) set of std length XR lowers, I'd probably make the switch. Being unemployed for 6 months last year kinda killed alot of stuff for me.

What might you be thinking ??

Ouch,,, didnt know that.

Sorry to hear it.

The Mrs is finally back to work after 17 months,,,, hoppe your back soon !!!!!

All good now. Back to work in December, but have no cash. Spent a ton to stay afloat and keep cars and house. Won't have any play funds for a while. Glad parents taught me to save for a rainy day........

AMEN !!!!

Hope there isnt anymore rainy days anytime soon though,,,,awful "dry " around here from the last one !!!!!!

Well...if you happen upon those XR lowers and want to get rid of the shorties, let me know...I'll be looking to buy something in the next couple months.

Hey Den, on the bravo's, can you bolt a XR lower to a standard upper, and vice versa?

I assume the imco shorties have the bigger propshafts?

Mike. I think you should try BZ's props when you get your boat done. Maybe even bbob's 30p bravo's.
