I think the biggest issue is getting CORE approval and the accident a few years ago is still not resolved.

Legend is going to do something to pretty much get everyone together more of a fun run i think.

You are really spilling the beans. :drink:


C`mon, go ahead and give us ALL the details : Dates, registration info, etc..... :ernaehrung004:

Donman - did you get your lakehouse in order? How about some pics. How far off the water is it?

Found this pic the other day of the old python I thought you would like. That was a dayum good boat. How is it holding up?

What is everyone doing all winter?

I am planning to work at the lake Saturday.

Andy41, How is the drive swap going?

well things have been so crazy at the job i havent had a whole lot of time to mess with them. ive got most everything tore down now. i am working on some new dash ideas and wanting to do some cool things to the boat before havasu in april. you should trailer out to havasu in april with us next year??

I have a lot to do by then. I have the drives off of mine working on the carriers in the boxes. That would be a fun trip.

Saving money:(

How did you guy's learn how to do all that work yourself?

They don't,,,,,,,,,they'r just messing with you . LOL :party-smiley-004:

Just like everybody else. Practice, Practice, Practice, a little bit of luck, and a lot of broken parts along the way, but it all works out in the end.

Andy, its really not that hard. It takes a little patience, a good place to work, and the right tools. Pay attention to what you are doing and how things come apart. You going to be around saturday? Come over and I will put you to work!!

:eek::eek: I'd love to. I'll give you a call.

TexomaPowerboater - you ever take your Apache to Eagle Mnt Lake? I am new to this forum and live in Ft. Worth. I keep my 32' Monterey Sport Cruiser out there at the old Lauderdale’s Marina.

Email me sometime at [email protected] .

I am interested in taking my boat to some poker runs this spring and summer around Texas.

Welcome to OSO. email sent. No poker runs for a while on Texoma:( Hopefully we, or somebody, can organize a little something. Eagle mountain has some fun runs every year. I have a buddy that takes his warlock cat to eagle mountain. This thread isn't limited to Texoma boaters, if your in TX or OK chime in, maybe we can talk you into visiting Texoma :D

well come help me then too!!!

ive got a parts washer that is backed up with parts to be washed. i will show you how...

ill be waiting for your call

i bought a new boat hauler this week. wait till you see it! you should come out to desert storm with us you and your lady would have a great time. we have about 4 boats going already... be nice to have another

hey!! whats up with my back plate bro?? you locate one yet??

Get your own help. We will see if he is willing after seeing what its all about.

What kind of back plate? Post some pics of the new hauler.

its the back plate for my spare #3 i have. bought it from scott (daredevil) it had an ear for the steering broke off.

i cant post any pics yet... its getting some personalizing done at the moment. should be ready by the end of next week. :D:D:D

Winter Sucks!!!!

No plate to be found,,,,,,i am still searching.

What the hell are you doing to the girl,our raceboat needs work too,,,,,,get your fat a$$ down here and help,,,then i clean your parts,,,,,got some nice black spraypaint makes everything look clean. LOL:grinser010:

Life never sucks if you have one of those in the garage.

You still have the cat? Whats in the magnum now? Whats going to run next year?

hey matt


show us some pics of your progress... anything planned for paint or wrap this year??

Cat went to Zastrow, all the parts have been lurking around the classifieds and swap shop, I heard the hull was on ebay. I kept the engines. One has a busted piston. Been that way since the day I bought it. Amazing how great it still ran anyway.

I still have the Magnum. She is between engines now. Not sure how I want to put her together yet, but I am going to have to get started pretty soon. I overheated that oragne engine just enough to stick a couple valves. I might fix it, or build something else.

Looking at a couple other boats. I really want another 38 just for the comfort level. But unless something really cool and cheap turns up, probably not going to happen. Just have to make do with the Magnum all season. There are worse things.

I didnt take any pictures. Andy did a great and offered a lot of help. He got the fuel tanks cleaned, waxed the hull sides, and changed the anchor light fluid.

I cant decide what I am going to do with it. The only thing I am sure about is that it will get some stuctural work in the nose. Other than that, it just depends on how much money I feel like throwing away.

LOL, I'd be happy to lend a hand. Just let me know when is a good time. Most all my weekends are full or christmas parties from now until christmas, but I should have the time after that. I'd really like to be around when you take apart the dash too. I need to replace my drive indicators, add a new trim tab indicator - which will require some cutting on the dash, and add some new oil temp gauges.

LOL,

Thanks. That was fun, give me a shout when the bearings get fixed I'd like to see how it all gets put back together.

Hey ,Andy,,,,,,,,you gonna come down to FL. to help me ?????LOL

Since the other Andy is to bussy ,and lazy .:grinser010::eek:

Happy New Years everyone.

Congrats,,,on your closing !!!!:ernaehrung004:

and "*****HAPPY NEW YEAR*****" !!!!

I was there today messing around. Congrats on the house. HNY

Did my first DIY boat repair over the weekend. Had some shifter problems and pulled the spring/ball/clyinder thingy that engages the cone clutch. One was pretty locked up with gunk. Pretty fun working on the boat myself. The oil on the starboard side was significantly more dirtier than the port side......like black. I hope I don't have a bigger problem hiding.

Hey Daredevil - how are you doing? Everything allright? I saw you had your boat for sale as well as a 28 manta. That 28 looks sick. I've never even seen a 28 manta before previous to you posting picks of it.

Thanks for asking,,,i am ok.
That Manta is unic ....... u will never see a boat like that anywhere. i try to post a pic of how it looked befor .

And my boat is always for sale !!!!! LOL,,,,,,just buy it !:drink:

Good for you!! Can you come fix the leak around my shift linkage now?
