Setting at the keyboard, too cold to boat....Old minds tend to wander..
What is the interest in a small swap meet ?????????? We have spoke about this before, just not enough time at the official events. There is the space to do it at Parramores, we have reserved the pavillion there for the whole weekend............

Ryan, It was suggested last year that we should find out who has the fastest boat on the river. Headed back to Parramores campground from the glenn springs, those in the race made a run for it. No GPS to determine the winner; just a line em' up and see who has the fastest boat. The boat belonging to the Boat Nurse was the fastest in 09. Should be interesting to see who has the fastest in 2010', Hmmmmmmmmmm? ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Dave if all you have to bring is that Mustang ,better find 10 mph to even get in.
We will have Show and Go,please be advised if Karen brings her boat ,stay in the show catagory. Plans are to bring the Dart,having the oldest boat this year is almost as good as having the fastest in '09. Tim there was a GPS used , Reid posted his top speed and Karen was faster, do not remember the number,I just know her Am. Skier was not built in '64 to go that fast. Some times its better to be cool than fast................. ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Okay Jody,I'll give you that one. I think we all know that this is a Correct Craft website and NOT some other racing boat website. We all know that the Doc's days are numbered and the American Skier's rein on the river will be short lived. We can see from his post that "Waitin on the Doc" will be coming so maybe............ "The One" will be the boat to beat.  ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski. He can wakeboard.He can cook chicken.He can create his own self-named beverage, & can also apparently fly.

Did you guy's think I was talking about an boat race...
I meant who would be the first one at the camp site. The Big Race 2010 to St John camp site !!! And if you believe that, then you don't know me that well. Put the piece's to the puzzle together first. Do we have a stock class???? 10 mph more.... let me see, the Doc is bringing the Dart. I already know about the 409... NY Joe is on leave, Tim's family crew ??, so would I think the 72 has enough. Or maybe I'm bringing a surprize to the roasting. Or maybe I already know a boat that is coming to be very very fast... And just maybe the owner of this ghost boat works for CC.
So stay tune my friends this thread is getting started. Dave
P.S. Jody don't let the cat out of the bag just yet.... let them smell the bait first..hehe |

Dave, I've been on vacation but lurking from my iphone. So in terms of you making a splash in the races, if Team Seal is bringing an '09-409, should you not be worried about that? And if Team Seal is indeed bringing their '09-409 should they not be worried about ORANGE CRUSH?! Third place is still in the medals though. But I'm not sure I see an official stock class race happening. It's brutal, run whatcha brung (as long as it's a CC) racing. And I'm sure Maddmarxx will be back this year with SkiLime in perfect tune after a disappointing run last year. And remember that quick little light blue '69 Mustang I used to own...................? And to answer the question about GPS verification last year, Alan was holding it and Crush topped out at 57.1. Billy was right neck and neck as was Marshall's boat, but Billy still had his extra rider in the passenger's seat beside him, which cost him a good mph I'm sure, so we gave him the nod. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Carefull Reid I do have access to a Bass Nautique with a very much performance enhanced 150 Merc on it! It will go over 90 mph and we think proped right it will hit tripple diggets!
Also since PCM reissued me a new ECM for my 409 it now goes 54mph with two people in the front seats, no BS-ing with sitting people in the back. So Third place Nautique???

Reid has his own set of rules when it comes to boat racing......
Reid, all things being said , you tried every tactic to win that race.You would not do a drag race, you would not do a idle roal out nor would you allow a 25 mph punch. We tried every way "YOU" wanted. The final race was a 40 mph punch with 400 pounds in the rear seat of your boat and Karen sitting in the passenger seat, fair race playing by your rules. And all your reply is that "I'm sure, so we gave him the nod." If you really feel that that the Blue machine or the Crush can run "Drag Race " toe to toe from a dead stop to max MPH , I will leave the Dart at home and bring back Karen's.But we will race by my rules this time,One driver/One passenger sitting in their seat, dead stop , with a flagman. We can also sweeten the pot a little Reid,I wouls rather have your money than "the nod you gave me last year"It will buy gas back to LA......  ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

I think the Crush is a one-of. The offical word is that the hull was tweaked to "perfect the slalom wake"... but i think it was tweaked for speed. It runs bow high like no other modern ski boat Ive seen! The orange overspray we found on the prop and rudder may be a sign that the hook was ground out to the glass and they had to regel a bit to cover it back up. Just a theory! ------------- |

Sounds like a re match is in order! The Crush's hole shot is deceiving, I think because of the fuel injection. It's so smooth, it doesn't feel as quick as an older inboard, not nearly as quick as Marshall's Mustang, but it is. Both of those boats came out of the hole neck and neck when we were driving them. ------------- |

Okay then..........changing the subject I did a little digging on the area down there round Ocala and it seems that the state of Fla allows motorized boats on the Silver River (IDLE only). It's most famous for the tourist trap Siver Springs, and many movies have been made along the spring fed river. Is there any interest in a possible river run up the Silver river on Fri. morning? The scenery is supposed to be fantastic and the river even has wild monkeys that have inhabited the landscape. Sounds interesting and fun. Any takers? ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Great idea Tim. We took the ride several years ago and aside from the all-idling part, it's a really neat cruise. Monkeys in the trees and all. The really nice launch area is just about 30 miles west right down Hwy 40 from Astor. Because of the potential time constraints and logistics of lauching and retrieving 20+ boats together, it might be a good idea to sign up a certain number of larger capacity boats with more folks in each. Might make for a better rolling party as well. Just a thought.
Oh, and as for the last years racing, I'm pretty sure the trophy plaques all say "Fastest" Boat on the River. Not "Quickest" or "Best Hole Shot", and which was our goal when running that afternoon, neck and neck for an extended distance. I don't think anyone was doubting the quickness and acceleration of Karen's boat. She was reigning supreme in those departments. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Reid, did you think it was an equal comparison between the two boats? I choose to think that the scale was skewed a little more towards your boat than Karen's.But you lost , even with the extra 3 guys in the rear of the Crush,guess her boat was the quickest and the fastest......... ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Can't you just feel the love????? 
Reid, I think that sounds like a good idea. I know that those that can be there will be itching to get to the St.johns as everyone starts rolling into camp. I figure we won't be on the river too long as landing a boat is prohibited. I'm guessing you can enter the main springs but you'll have to watch out for glass bottom boats.

I have a month to find a few fatter guys, or girls (sorry Joe and Alan) for the back seat of the Crush, but the boat's coming anyway. Got a bunch of plaques and trophies too. I just need to have fun.
If I remember correctly, I don't recall Reid raggin' on the good Doctor after mopping up at the first hyped-up racing at GL '07. And I believe those races were run from idle too. There will certainly be more fun to be had, and less doubt to remain, if the KarenCraft comes.

With that being said I will refrain from posting further on the subject, what was and what will be.

Billy, quit acting like "all this" is bad. As for the nod, I believe you've interpreted my meaning completely backwards, as the intent was to simply state that YOU were at a disadvantage with an extra person up front, and had it been apples to apples, your boat would have easily been at least a MPH faster, instead of running side by side. I wasn't trying to take anything from you or making any excuses, but instead conceding defeat. I was giving a nod to you as being the faster boat, period. I'm sorry it wasn't clearer. You still need to bring Karen's boat. xxoooxxooo ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

As reported on 2-14-2009:
SPEAKING OF RACING: the Fastest Boat on the River 2009 contest was decided on the way back from The Glen, and while the water had calmed down nicely to a hull-raising ripple. With Alan GPS doing the recording, I was most surprised that the Orange Crush 409, with three boys sitting across the transom, registered an incredible 57.1 MPH. But guess what! That was only good for second place as the BoatDr's (or rather Karen's) boat bested the 409 by the smallest but definite margin to take top honors. Out of the hole it wasn't even close as Billy's 331 stoker pulls G's never before experienced by a mortal ski-boat, but I reminded him that it WAS a top speed contest. Coming in just a tenth or two slower was Marshall's 340 Mustang, with all three boats being within a 1/2 mph of each other. It was exciting. Coming in 4th but in the medals, was Adamt in his 302 Skier, as he was passing folks all day long. Thanks again to MaddMarxx for coming up with the idea and having the trophy plaques made. ------------- |

Ryan, after I read your post I felt real bad inside. You know we always joke with one another on this site, but stop to think about bad things in life. And what could happen to people on this site in the years to come. That's why I live life to it's fullest everyday. Even if people don't agree with me all the time. Some people say I talk to much, but that's just me. And yes if you give me a drink I can get silly. But, the fun I had meeting everyone here makes my day. And in this world this site helps people everyday. So it hurts, to hear anything bad to an member. If you come to St. John you can have a ride with me anytime. I just hope everything comes out O.K. from the tests. Thats why I think St.John Run is so simple. Just what happens their has no time set, just good food and fun with all in hand.

Marty,
I figure the 83 SS gets about what my 93 Motorhome gets... 8mpg. Per Mapquest you are looking at $360 round trip for an estimate. ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique 1966 Barracuda |

Billy, you better bring the Dart to GL next year too, otherwise Id have to beat that American Skier fair and square. Your boat is slow. Reid, yours is slower. Youre both lucky that I cant trailer one down to FL next month! ------------- |

I will have the Al Tyll Skier at the glen this year, doing a few test runs this month with her in st cloud, fl. I am looking forward to the race across lake george. I'm hoping to also bring my 1970 mustang with the 273. If it's cold as it is now, these boats will fly. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=402&yrstart=1925&yrend=1970 - 1967 Al Tyll Skier Former Owner of: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=643&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1925&yrend=1960 - 1949 Utility Runabout Special |

Ha, I wish. It should be on schedule for a sping launch, but its not happening in Feb. I wish I could make the trip to FL, but its not looking good at the moment.
Well, I guess it doesnt have much to do with SJ '10, as I most likely wont be there- but I would think you'd be used to 2nd place by now! ------------- |

You think Mark Martin's ever gotten used to finishing second? I doubt it. (Please don't ask who MM is) I was only planning to take the Crush, and Rodney will probably be taking down his Moody Blue (72 light blue Skier). Speaking of blue, I wish we could get Larry Snyder to bring his light blue 71 SN feature boat down. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

It took me damned near as long to drive to work this morning, as it is going to take me to fly to Florida for the River Run.

<--at what you said, not you
If that's an advisory, then I'd hate to hear what a warning is up there! It's cold here and even snowing just now, but it's nowhere near 50 below. I'll think of you in the morning when I'm whining about my shop being so cold. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

Was able to upgrade to an cabin today... Still have some left, so I would call before it's to late or you might have to use a tent. Me and the wife are going for a road trip Sunday, she wants to check the place out. So I will take some pre pics for the guy's up north..

Marty, everyone usually leaves em' in the water for the weekend. Covered boat slips are $5.00 a nite. I left mine tied up at the side dock last year and wished I would have paid the extra $5. Would have been worth not have to towel dry the boat the next morning while everyone was hanging out on the main dock gathering round & buying up the T-shirts. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Sounds good to me Greg. I like the idea and I'm glad you brought it up. Its only 5 weeks away and we've only got TPS and Boudin on the menu so far. I think Azeus brought the burgers last year but doubt he'll be in this year being in Ark. I'm in for something just don't know what yet ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Ryan,
Yes, they had one last year and we had about 3 to 4 grills as well. I think Bj brought alot of gear.. I'm sure they will post soon. Im thinking about bringing all the goodies like plates & forks, cups, fixing for the burgers and dogs..etc And of course some meat.. Last year we had alot of food.. and thats what makes it fun, to have different stuff to taste. Great time Dave |
