Steve,
You took the words right out of my mouth..."Mark, you're killing us northerners" On the plus side, (1) I'm glad you can enjoy it and are sharing with us and (2) I guess it can't be too much farther off for us...ice is off...thats a good start. |

thanks for the inspiring pics AGAIN mm. We ran out yesterday and anchored in Galveston Bay for about two hours and just watched boats on Saturday. What a day. At one time I counted 170 sails--it was really pretty. I wished I'd had my camera.

Brad, I could probably talk my dog into going with me on a boat ride. My wife, on the other hand won't go near the water until we are in the 80's (at least). Looks like you had the river all to yourself.

How is the course on the Conway chain? I have only been on that chain once, except for test driving Nautiques.

Southeast Correct Craft takes customers to Conway at the Meloon's house (with ramp) for demos and when you get an new one you are picking up at the dealership. I figured if you had a boat on Conway it had to be a Nautique. The old factory took them there too before the moved half way to Cocoa. Have you been to the new factory? I was their when it was being built and want to go on a plant tour one day.

MM Cool. Thanks for the pics. Tell Blondie that I have not gotten Patti a camera yet. I think you need to help that guy with the red Nautique. Guy should not be allowed out with a boat that looks like that. But I think you have told me about him. Did Keith get his boat out? I see people asking about the new factory. We need to plan a group trip.
john ps; Chris might have found me something nice on e-bay! Can't get ahold of him tonite to be sure but stay tuned! |

Got out bid at the last minute John, had the high bid and was increasing it and didn't get in, missed out by about 5 sec's sorry would have been a nice price too 225.00 they went for 202.50 to the guy I sold the harness to in GA, he snuck in at the last minute and got them.
got my eye on something you need more than the exhaust, we'll have to swap gears or get a new one but no big deal should be able to pick it up for a fraction of the cost new and it's pretty much new all ready. |

ryan just remember when you drag race its all about the hole shot. Not many boats can hang with a CC. If your going to do a distance race just make sure there are a few sharp turns and and more then likely a CC will still win. Just my 2 cents. Donzi's are nice but I never did like I/O's.
