Did have to replace one alternator , one trim selonoid , and one tab motor . Funny thing is I feel lucky cause , it was an easy fix . :party-smiley-048:

Them some big wheels, Well it sounds like you're all ready to go. Good luck this season my friend. VV

Another FREE ride over....
 
Wow...what fun. It wasn't rough enough to even think about challenging the boat but with a set of new props and a pair of screamin' blower motors, it thrilled anyway. I brought my camera this time and a GPS. But i''m not telling what was revealed by the GPS...that will be up to Ray should he decide. But I will say it was pretty fast! Pics to follow. Maybe even a video! Ough yeah I also copied some pics off Rays computer from one of the FREE rides I got last season. They just happen to be from a chopper and it was rough out so there are some spectacular!

Hey Ray,
I wouldnt make a habbit of cruising Ego Alley,even though its funny to watch everyone stop and stare. I got a feeling you might be slight above the legal sound levels. Ough yeah, I didn't mention it but on the way back out of Ego alley (after you mad that lady s*@t herself) right next to the water taxi stand a guy had walked out on the pier and was taking a picture of us as we came back by.
I just realized that I didnt take any pics of the light house as we went by. Ough well...next time.

John

Don't make me have to spend more money.

Velocity Vector 04-18-2009 07:33 PM

Ray, your new props worked out? Some really nice pic. She sounds ready, real ready.

notda1 04-19-2009 08:33 AM

The bus is a big girl and she's not wining any drag races , but she has been know to wear some folks down . My old 30 was much faster ! Don't see her breaking 100 , only ran 93 with the guys, Though I would still like to try some even bigger props :D

I'd like to see you and BP running down the Bay!!!! That would be a tight one!!!:ernaehrung004::food-smiley-007:

That boat of Bob's looks new and has all the comforts of home . That old girl of mine is only good for one thing . Bob has talent in setting up and running every thing he touches . If that condo of his passes me I am going to just :drink: He's coming out next Sunday to go for a ride , it would be great if you could join us .

notda1 04-20-2009 08:12 AM

If I beat Bob he would just go home and make his faster .As for me , I am tring to be happy with what I got . The speed is still a thrill every time . Though I will probably never be satisfied . Even now I am thinking about the next level :D
