LOL that was entertaining just to read!

feel your pain. ozarks last month, on a late season trip. idling into a cove for lunch at a restaurant, in no wake. 30+ foot twin engined cruiser zipped by at 30+ GUess they wanted the better table...? :/ The wake almost swallowed my little boat LOL My sisters daughter, who is afraid of boats...

good karma shines through. spun prop. much better mood.... :)

howdy folks... its been a busy year. Havent had much time for the boat. extensive motorcycle repairs... family stuff, weddings etc.... work... you name it. Certainly hope all is well with you guys here! weve taken 3 trips. 2 sucked. lol then had one REALLY good one. and had to park it awhile...

yep, after the spring delayed its start again, then flooding.. its been absolutely perfect. hot, slight wind... water warmed up nicely. gorgeous. there MIGHT be some boating into september, but its a difficult proposition. with soccer on weekends. Then wife works every other. i could...

looks like 2015 boating season is done for us, but.. it was FANTASTIC. :thumb: had a great weekend... Planned to take my sister and her family out. But, I really dislike a mob at the ramps and dock, we went out ahead of time. cruised around... Then had a scare while we were doing that...

I'm not TOTALLY against the IO. Actually, getting good at working on it. I suppose, if I had a nicer (not clunky 3.0) motor.... and I was the first owner....I would like it more. I agree with the working upside down quote. been there. but I boat in shallow, skinny water. and its perilous. I...

Yep I saw that... assembly looks to be fine I HATE buying tools for limited use...IE: my next boat will NOT be I/O. But I see no way around it. :) So ill be ordering that up as well.

so far so not bad here. 3 trips! though, sadly, I got to experience the "need help" side of the camaraderie of the boating community. its been nothing but cloudy,windy,rainy. a week ago, Sunday, we had warm weather finally...THEN the clouds broke. it got wonderfully HOT. we ordered pizza at...

are we talking new? I think Id prefer if my engine was fuel injected, whatever the choice... I have the 3 liter in mine. I find it works just fine. And its quite easy to work on when I need to. (SO FAR) :) I think my next boat will be outboard or jet pump drive, though. Ive grown weary of the...
