Who's ready for summer!
« on: April 27, 2015, 08:25:16 PM »
Spent the weekend on the new house boat, then headed up and got the 23 out of storage. 

Greased everything up tonight hooked up the hose and little squirt of gas in the carb. She fired right up and ran great. No water leaks no water in the oil so good to go. I will be bringing it down to TI this weekend and prob make a run or 2. Thinking of running up to Prescott on Sat.

Hoooooooooray for summer!!!!!
I think this has become an addiction.

I just have to figure out how to burp two babies while steering and throttling at the same time and I'll be all set.......

Except for some testing, Rathbun meet will be my first outing of the year.  Too many other projects.  Hoping to correct paint issues, dock rash, and finish some of the interior.

I am with you Mike, Rathbun will probably be my first major outing of the year also. But, I am hoping to at least get on the water once towards the end of May to burn out last years fuel.

Got 2 of the 4 axles greased and new seals installed last night. Got 2 new tires installed today. Plan on doing the other side tonight and 2 more tires tomorrow.
