oh ok i feel better now:D

hey...
you guys see njppc's run for us smaller guys?
i've kicked around a blackjack kind of idea for years....maybe we could do a LIS/RI/MA thing with the sutphen crew?
where would make for a few good stops with some smaller, more sheltered runs in between..you know a short trialgle/trapezoid....30-40 miles max....is that even possible other than on a river?

You lost me C?
Are you talking all by boat or trailers involved?

Did some work last night and got the drives off the back. They look like they are in decent shape, the cosmetics are horrible. It really kills these dives, or any drive for that matter, if you leave them in salt water. I drained all the lower units, one came drained clean and the other had some water in it. Looks like its going to need a rebuild.

The engine stand is coming in the mail this week and the motor is going to be pulled on Saturday. I'll post some pics once we get the motor out.

If you need any TRS parts or someone to rebuild the drive, Ocean Performance in Old Saybrook will get the job done right!

hey jeff...
hard to explain....where can we draw a triangle that allows for some fun running in a sheltered area, for us smaller guys.
like old saybrook (ramp)to greenport to montauk and back?
i don't know buzzards bay or naragansett bay...but a couple 15 mile legs in a "not-too-rough" place...start and end in the same place/mid-point for lunch...w/ a good ending place to just hang...

if i could draw a picture for you you'd understand...can't seem to put the words together...

Im jealous I wish I had a heated garage to work in. My boats are freezin their sterns off right now. good luck cant wait to see the engine pics.

The drive w/water in oil is probably prop shaft seals or water in u-joint bellows area. Either way you should reseal the drives ans install new u-joint bellows. While your at it,if the trim cylinder cases are OK, you might want put orings/seal kits in them too. www.noppermarine.com

at least theres no moisture to worry about. Its all FROZEN.:party-smiley-004:

Mine is outside freezing its ass off too so dont feel bad. All wrapped up good though.

C We could go over to sag harbor and pay $2000 for a slip for the night.LOL
Yes thats an exageration but not a big one.

napa tree is pretty cool.
Green port is good.

I used to jet ski outside narraganset bay and it was pretty rough alot of the time.
