Thanks very much for your help Mike! One word: persistence

For those not there, I asked Mike to help me by bringing his truck to hitch up my Cafe from BLM and drop it in at the town ramp a mile away. Well, the boat was tightly wedged into the indoor warehouse storage and BLM wasn't going to be able to get me out until Monday as its the busy season.

I was ready to abort the mission several times - Mike kept adapting the strategy until we got it out (without damage). Out of the warehouse, but not out of the woods.... At the ramp, the HP500s were a little tricky to start for the first time. No fuel to the carb. Persistence, some fuel mouthwash and an eyebrow or two later, they roared.

I really appreciate your help Mike and sorry you were 2-3 hours late for your appointment.

Here's a video from our test run Saturday:

THANKS!!!!

mouthwash????

Now he's gonna come in here, call you a bunch of names and tell you off just to keep his reputation lol. But yes he is the most persistent person I've ever met. Sometimes he keeps going when taking a step back and rethinking may work better but hey can't have it all! Glad to see its running, give me a call this week.

I thought he might not like that. Tough.

Thanks Jamie - just sent a PM.

Yup, he's a good little person... even if he acts like a troll sometimes.

good guy

F@g

+1 for Mike! Alway willing to bend for everyone and willing to bend over backwards for Scot! Congrats Scot!

Great vid and boat looks to run great!

I apologize for the shaky video, shouldn't be a problem after April 28th... I'll post the link of another test run hopefully to happen next saturday.
