this is closest to the fun house I believe. La Quinta Inn & Suites Hammond 42126 Veterans Ave, Hammond, LA 70403 (985) 345-4742.. if you own or have access to an RV, Blood River Marina (havehttp://bloodrivermarina.com/) or Tickfaw Marina at 29504 Highway 22, Springfield, LA 70462 Phone: (225) 695-3340 you might check with Casey on the blood river RV parking though...he handles that along with a lot of other stuff for the run.

I don't have a Skater yet as everyone knows but I did go boating yesterday. It was 48* air temp, the coldest I've been out, and pleasant sitting still drinking a cold one. Boat ran 91.1mph @ 6700 rpm with 4 blade 15x 30* vented bravos, no wind to speak of, and 30 gallons of fuel. I have Brucato ACUs' with no limiters. I need 14.25 to 14.75 diameter props to be able to hit max rpm. It has run 96 with light load. I'm hoping to best that with my labbed 3 blade 15x 30* Spinellis' next weekend. They are calling for 54*. I want to pull my injectors and have them flowed. other than a new interior I hope that will have me ready for this year. I have a ported 260 and think I will find another to have a set. The my 260s' liked fuel but are beasts turning 7500+. Stay warm my friends and go boating weather permitting. You will feel 1000% better once your on the water!

Motor is a Gatortail surface drive 35HP Vangaurd modified of courseto 65-75 HP with twin Mikuni Carbs.
I honestly have as much fun in this thing running 33+ MPH running curves and jumping logs in the timber and rivers here.
Oh yea we got ducks too!

If anyone is looking for a nice 28 JJ is selling one. I saw it at Supreme Marine today. Boat has nice paint job, clean but 2.5's on it. Would be a nice boat with Opti's! Not sure what he is asking but Troy said looking to sell.

No firm plan yet Craig. I'm wanting to have it in the water for a season before a full restoration. I want to make sure this is the boat for me before I do paint and interior. You rebuilding that motor yet?
