If the bayflite wasn't in grand rapids I would have been out a time or two already...ah well, maybe I can ride in the V172.

 I wish! But then again we're off to Florida for 10 days so I can't complain! Have fun though Jason I have a feeling you'll be tweaking that new engine of yours. Can't wait to see the pics and or videos!

Know one said you can't mix them up! I am going on a snowboarding trip next weekend too. Just think, you could go water and snow skiing in the same day!

I hope to get out sometime this weekend. My little "pond" on the st. croix is getting bigger by the day!

Another question, who is going to put their boat in storage next year? If I did not this last year, I would have had $100 for gas and three more months of boating. But mother nature is as fickle as a pickle.

Cold, Hot, Mother Nature won't make up her mind.

We solve it by moving to Dubai and have a ski slope inside the mall while the desert is 110* right outside the doors ...

Patriotism aside. Plan is to run the boat Sunday, rain or shine. Only serious problem at the moment is the leaky trim cyl, hope to have that fixed tomorrow.

I have not been on the lake since last summer but I have had Miss Mayberry running.  She started right up after sitting for about a year.  Still sounds as good as ever!!  I hope to make it out soon.  



It is gorgeous down here in AZ.  I went out with my brother and some other friends, one of which has a nice  CVX-20 sprint.  It was great to be on the lake again.
