Urban,
Your drive installation is looking awesome for sure.
I'd feel very certain you'll enjoy some great topend gains with those surface drives without even having to wring more power out of your engines. I know the long turn time sucks but it'll be worth every second of the wait.
I can understand your frustration and also have compassion for your rigger.
In my custom pool construction business I have many times taken projects with elaborate engineering plans in addition to my normal work load. They are the first to get bumped when the workload is high. I don't want the work hurried, I want it right the first time so I put the gravy jobs ahead.
But, I do keep the buyer in the loop as to why they got bumped in scheduling.
Congrats, I look forward to hearing about how great they are.
See ya,
Kelly

Read that a couple of Lewisville/Dallas guys haven't been up to Texoma yet. I don't have a ton of experience there as I just moved to OK from Fort Worth/Eagle Mountain, but have been out several times this year. Each Marina I have been to has been very well kept and felt very safe leaving the truck/trailer on land and boat overnight in a courtesy slip. Ceder Mills marina very nice. Lighthouse Marina near Pottsboro was very nice and sort of secluded from the busy part of the lake. Last weekend we rented out a Cabin(full trailer) that was very nice at Lighthouse Marina and stayed Fri-Sun. It was perfect, not a stitch of wind and hit the islands all weekend. Can't say enough about Texoma compared to the other TX lakes (PK, Lewisville, Eag Mt) I have been too. Plenty of room to run and play....only saw one lake patrol all weekend.

Well what has everyone been doing the last few weeks, anyone been out, Jim or David get yalls boats back yet? I have been shopping for my new ride. Kinda frustrating. One broker strung me along while the boat had a offer on it instead of just saying there is money down but I'll let ya know if the deal falls through. Made another offer on one, guy says I'll talk to my wife and let you know, never heard from him again. So shopping hasn't been going so great kind of wish mine hadn't sold as fast as it did!
