Hate to see so many people having trouble already. At least you're getting them out of the way now before boating season really picks up.

Working till lunch, then headed to the river. Got a few projects to do down there plus make sure the boat is ready to go for tomorrow.

Yeah, 15 mph SSE winds make for a rough day on Ponchartrain.

Hope you guys had a good run Saturday. Boat looked good when you passed. I was fighting a bad MSD box on the starboard motor. I just ordered two brand new ones and they will be in this week. Not taking any chances. Kind of a pain but that's why we run them this time of the year. Working out the kinks.

Looking forward to the BRBC poker run!

Yeah we had a great day except for losing 3 boats within the first 20 minutes. Thats why we call it the shakedown cruise though. Decent chop in the lake but nothing too bad. Your boat looked great. Had my wife asking all kinds of questions about it.

3 boats holy smokes batman!

I better take mine out before the royaL purple to dust the cobwebs off and make sure she is still running strong. Blew an upper in the drive 4 months ago (after season was already over) so put her away pretty disgusted.
