Sun ???????????????? what is the Sun ? It has been raining cats & dogs here since Saturday and 45 degrees .would love to get her outside and even better get Jay to shoot some Helo shots ... This weather blows and lookin at some properties in Havazoo & the St Johns river in florida on the computer ..Is your SKATER painted yet ?

Thanks Jamie ,Gonna head to the shop after the boyz get home from skool and snap a few more ,they just called and said i'm in for a SURPRIZE :eek:
I can only imagine :ernaehrung004:

Hey Bill,
Havent touched it yet collecting parts boat wont be in water this year, the house is consuming all of our time. Started as a small remodel and then (we could do this and we could do that):eek:. Wholly Crap!!! We saved the fireplace circa 1939
Thumper.

Hey wait I was in Morris on Saturday and I saw the Sun the river was up as usual, now Sunday rain and more rain. My dad is still in Lemont and has complained about the rain.
You dont launch the 40 at Alsip do you. We used to launch our black 38 Scarab but could only use the center lane or we would hit.
Pending on the house maybe late summer on the Skater we have almost all the parts motors done except piston swap trans done
just need extra time!!!
Thumper

EXTRA TIME :eek: i hear that BIG Daddy !!!! We can't Launch in Alsip or the new one in Worth there are stops at the bottom of the ramp to they try and keep bigger boats out , in Seneca the town just built a awesome ramp with no stops and works out nice if the wind is out of the North and Lake Michigan is Rockin & Rollin :ernaehrung004:
Piston Swap ??? dont tell me you had Nitrous Pistons

No we didnt have nitrous pistons that would have been cheep though !!!
The motors were set up for N/A 10:5 to 1 and I just aquired some of dem things that require a big belt out front.
We made 803 hp and 767 ft with a single dominator N/A
I will be selling the intakes and carbs as soon as I remove them 1000 for the pair. 1150's with 104 and 106 jets and brodix tall deck intakes.
We will come up with the boat when it is done later this year or in the spring. Is Hammond all jacked up still?

Hammond is a joke for bigger boats.

EC is the place.

Lemme know when the first splash is.

Lookin good !!!!!!!!!

What the heck is EC I guess I have been gone too long.
Thumper:crazy:

E.C. = East Chicago/Gary 90/94 and Kline ave right to the Casino & steel mill ...Exit north on Kline , if you go south you will end up at the DEJA VU tittie bar :eek: which is'nt all that bad either .... G@@gle Pastrik Marina :ernaehrung004:

OK if you just said Pastrik, Then I would know I dont understand all that EC OC OCC Chit.

I go back to the days when you would have to wait for the train to pass to get into Hammond when the Clipper Ship was there with entertainment and some good ole food!!! Before overpass and the Casino.
