Boating Saturday
 

Anyone gonna be out? I think some of us are gonna try to get out Saturday for a little while. Weather pending, of course.

I wont"t be out, workin at the cabin all weekend.

I'm going to test out the Thunder. (first splash) Evan is going out also. Sure hope the weather holds.

stop by the house. if your close.. second cove pass moores. heading to the dam.. all the way in the back..

Sure will. Im going to take it easy on it this weekend. It has
old fuel in it. I couldnt get it out and the tanks are 3/4.Full
I dont want to rattle any cylinders with the low octaine. I put some 112 on top of the old. Maby it will help some.
Im sure I can use it up this weekend. I going to run it at the dock for a while and make sure it dosent sink!!!:cool-smiley-027:

Well, this is my last weekend off for the next couple weeks, and the family will have Jake, so I'm gonna take advantage of it.

I challange you to a race...:drink:

cool I would like to ck it out!

Were are the pictures of the new ride Custom?

Its a old boat. 1991. It really needs a allover paint but ok for now. Ive been looking for one of these boats for a while and lucked up on this one.
Is the water good in your bay?

I found time to wash it last week.

water is fine..I will get their about 11.00 ish anytime after that is good..

??? still working on a deal..

but if all goes well....it will have a pair of these..

Wish I could but I cant, drink one for me have fun... :drink:

My thoughts exactly!!!! Everyone be carefull and watch for "floaters".

daaauuuummmm!!!!!!! Your my idol!!!!!! O.L.?

Jeff, I didnt make it that far yesterday. I cruised it about 40mph to the opening of smith bay and everything looked good so I went 1/2 to 3/4 throttle for about a 1/8 mile then shut it
down and opened the hatch to check on it again and found
oil comming out of the fuel pump vent hose and a little from
both oil sticks. I also found out too much oil in each engine.
About 2-qts too much.
I went ahead and spent the rest of the day there cleaning and
enjoing the sun. oh and 1 or 10 beers. On the way back I
opened the secondarys for the first time. I heard the seat brackets start poping so I pulled it back to 1/2
throttle from there back to bee springs and put it on the trailer. I flipped the gps and max speed set was 86.4. I think its going to be 91,92mph like it is and 102,105 with the 1071s
I still have work to do. Maby next weekend I can strech it out.
If I can find the cord for my camera Ill post some vids of yesterday.

Man you must have been busy building some big powerplants for that thing... Congrats :drink:

11 weeks to the day. Its been every day non stop. I just about got tired of messing with it. But it all paid off saturady.
Are you going out next weekend? I did see three or four other power boats running.

Not yet, I should have my drives back this week and I still have a few small projects to finish.

Jim, Did you get your boat painted? From the looks of your avatar you did. Those colors look great. Post some pics if you have them.

Thanks its actually a vinyl wrap, heres the link :drink:
