Lanier: RU Ready?
 

Just thought I would stir up the pot and see if you boys have shined up the resin buckets. I would like to do some running around soon. Chime in..............

We took the Scarab out sunday and the lake was packed

Took the fountain out weekend before last, was great to burn some dead dinosaurs...

Anyone going out over the next few weekends?

@Dirty- saw the work progressing over the course of a few trips to Tony & Chris' shops, the Scarab looks fantastic.

I'm shaking it down this weekend. should be nice.

After a long winter of rebuilding 2 boats, the Warlock should be ready for a shakedown run next weekend and my sons 13' Paradice should be ready then as well! Not sure how to post pics on this site anymore so guess it will be a secret until they are in the water again.

Well once everyone has the Cob webs knocked off we need to schedule a run. If others are interested speak up.

We were out on Sunday, last time on Lanier for us! Boat is being moved in two weeks. Jobs are taking us back north

Almost ready

sorry to lose you. Best of luck!!

Ran mine in the driveway, all looks good. Now I have detail it and get it ready.

I burned thru some old fuel last weekend and all was good.... I'm ready..... Is anyone interested in making a run from, the dam area to Gainesville and grabbing a bit to eat? I haven't checked out the place at Gainesville marina to choke down a sandwich. Is it any good???

Still getting some things done on the 357 and put it up for sale. Looking for a 419 so don't know what our boat situation will be this season. Maybe just ride the 357 till its gone. Maybe ride a 419? Hope to catch up to everyone this year.

Planning on taking mine out Friday and grabbing a bite to eat at pigtails

Did they change management? Says it's owned by Fish-tales.

Any others out this weekend?

I know it's not the same people that ran dockside, I heard it's pretty good, I'm ready for some boating, we'll see how my 10 month old son likes it!

Sons boat is back at the doctors office for what appears to be an electrical issue and Warlock is going in the water today for its shakedown run and as long as that's good, will probably be out in it most of the weekend getting some seat time in it.

Beautiful weather out here!! Water is great. A ton of people out.

burnt about 75 gallons through the Warlock this weekend and motors are running good but found a couple minor items that need to be addressed with the new interior and minor wiring glitches.

Hope to get these items straightened out in the next week or so.

Who's ready for the poker run? I am signed up with hotel suite and dock space all three days, we could run as group, just a idea. Let's get together Friday for the captains meeting and chat.

we are gonna do it and I need to sign up still but we will run the warlock for most of it and my son wants to do the card stop at Holiday in his little boat.

I will need to run with some of you guys to smash some of the waves down so we don't get beat to death! lol

I'm in for that. Would be nice to have a few grouped together from the Damn to run North.......Seems weird not having any group leaving at the same time.(per new format) I totally get the safety issue though.

Debcod2, Past by you last Sat next to 3 sisters.

Hey Tom, I thought that was you on Sat. I would still bet a good size group of guys with the bigger boats still meet at the dam and all go at once again. Gonna have Nicole get online and register us tonight and see if there's any slips left at Lanier islands.

just signed up and slip reserved at sunset for that day as well.

Guess I should have signed up earlier as there were only 20 slips left and they are on "A" dock for the day of the run.

I'm bettin your right!

Guys I will help beat the waves down, lol. Tom great seeing you the other day, she ran great. We need some pics this year.

I'm definitely in for a meet time at the Dam for a first run to Gainesville!

Is anyone heading out Sunday?

We will probably be at the lake all weekend but not sure if I will put the Warlock in as the weather for this weekend isn't looking promising as of now

Was pretty nuts out at Sunset for the 4th!! Did yall make it out there?

My son and I went and trolled through sunset on Saturday in his little boat but that was about it. Drank to much Sat night and was hung over sunday so packed up and went home!

was an expensive weekend for us as the port motor decided to grenade at 85MPH and send one of the wrist pin bearing cages and the connecting rod bolts right out through the side of the motor.
Guess we are not meant to do poker runs in fast boats anymore in life! We will be doing the run in the big pig cruiser again this year so I hope all you guys have fun tearing it up out there and we will see you all on the docks at Sunset!

Bummer sir!

Swing by and say hi at the docks. I head out from FLL at 6am tomorrow with the boat. I should drop it in Buford about dinner time. Spending tues/wed nights in Buckhead but will be at Sunset docks early Thursday.

Yeah, it sucks but I think the wife and I have a plan together already as long as things work out $$$ wise and we may be doing repower with new 250 pro max Optimaxes instead of rebuilds with these temperamental 2.5L motors we have now.

Either way we will still be doing the run in our cruiser and this little guy for a card stop or 2! don't run us over! lol![ATTACH=CONFIG]543026[/ATTACH]

I'm planning to follow JC advice that windship et al likely meet at dam between 11 - 1130 for a Gainesville run.

Should arrive early Thursday Is there anyone going to be directing us where to launch, park etc. We have never been there before. Can you give us a little info. We are at The Legacy and the boats at Big Beach. "D"

I would just go right to the Legacy. Big parking lot. There is a ramp on Lanier Island also. Not far at all. Big Beach is on the South Side of Lanier Islands.
I imagine it will be well organized.

I am planning on getting her wet around 1pm or so friday, launching at Bald Ridge. I have a suite and slip all weekend long at the cove. This year the weather should be much better. Jason sorry about the motor brother, that sucks. Hopefully see all you guys out there. Jason you on picture duty this year, LOL. See yall soon.

we all need to meet up tomorrow night at the party for a plan for saturday. I promised my son Tyler that we will do the holiday and aquaplaned card stops in his boat first thing sat morning. Depending on what you guys want to do, I will be happy to provide a nice size wake with our big pig for some air shots.

Call me tomorrow when you get out on the water. we are going to the lunch which is from 11:30 - 2 or 3 tomorrow.

Just got done buffing the hull, tomorrow morning buffing top deck. I am in. Meet up at the cove tomorrow and figure it out. I am on the new docks this year.

Anyone going to burn some dead dinosaurs this weekend?
