Re: Broke My Boat Again
 
DOH!! .... I Hope your up and ready in time.
However, I too belong on this post...I ran great all weekend, Except for the final ride in..Half way in she cuts off like I turned the key off...Had to get towed in blah blah blah... Turns out the "new" fuel pump took a crap on me..

Pat McPherson 07-06-2004 12:57 PM

Re: Broke My Boat Again
 
Had today off from work. Boat this morning, Family this afternoon.
Engine is back in and running. Drive comes in tomorrow. We should be ready for Saturday with time to spare.

ZZ, the gimble and drive both broke. The bottom half of the drive looks fine.
Dutra, didn't you just change the fuel pump? Low or High pressure?

Dutrasystem 07-07-2004 05:20 AM

No BS McPherson!
 
Damn Pat, Were you nascar pit crew at one time?...

Yeah that was a new fuel pump "factory defect" (no pressure!). My man hooked me up with a new one..No charge, I'm back running.. Just a little leary now. Good luck with OD today...

Re: Broke My Boat Again
 
I have gotten too good at this...
One thing I will say, this 24' SB is the easiest boat I have ever worked on. Big thumbs up for JC's engine hatch design.

Hey Superbash,
Had not seen many post from you lately, busy boating I hope.

Dutrasystem,
Glad to hear your up and running. Meeting us Saturday?

SB30,
Claudio's wants us there at 11:30.
I would say that we should be ready to roll around 10am.

sb30 07-07-2004 10:01 AM

Re: Broke My Boat Again
 
Pat,

Ok, 10am it is at the Old Saybrook ramp. I'll be in the water waiting. I am assuming you are comming from up river and will swing in to pick up those of us who will be putting in at Old Saybrook. Looking forward to meeting you and the other superboat folks.

Dutrasystem 07-07-2004 03:56 PM

All "Systems" go...
 
I hope to be leaving Port Chester with trailer in tow @ 8:ish on Saturday Morning.

So far the weather looks great...

SB30,
Yes, I plan to launch 9-9:30 in Chester, I'll be in Old Saybrook by 10am the latest.
