Great pics and tips Magic !!! Yes, I meant Sunday evening!! Glass like out on the S.E. shoreline across from the campground... Had a riot teaching the kids how to ski..
As everyone could see by the pics, this is a big lake.. I will certainly make sure everyone knows where the gas, restroom and flatest water is.. Early and late are best for sure, the rest of the time we wade around and drink beer !! Yep, fun for all as they say !!! Thanks again Alan... Moj' |

PLBC,
We we're stoked that we could make the pig roast happen, that's gonna be a great way to end the day. There's a lot of satisfaction in putting this thing together. I was fueling up at the lake sunday and a guy comes over to check out the boat. Turns out he has a 74 nautique and was up all the way from Ottowa we're I ski to check out the lake, by the time he left me with my pep talk he and his wife we're on their way to check out hotels for the reunion so hope we'll see him there. I'm terrible with names and already forgot his but he does view the site so hopefully the guy with the green and white 74 nautique will show up. Bad with names but never forget a boat. ![]() |

Pig roast, sheez. This thing keeps getting better- next thing you know we'll be sponsored by Miller Lite... wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm glad we got some spaces scoped out for the course. In the end, the wind will dictate where it goes... you don't want to try to lay that thing out in anything over 5mph! Looking forward to it.

Paul...I do plan to take it up there...there is not much I need to do but find the time to do it! I was in the garage tonight hooking up the electrical stuff and that went fine...however , I tried tapping the front crankshaft seal in and bent it...so got to get another tomorrow and make a tool to do it...got any suggestions??? As soon as I get that in ...I can fire it up.

try using a piece PVC pipe that is square on both ends and matches up with the O.D. of the seal.

Or a deep well socket works to!Just find one that has the same OD as the seal(as 79 mentioned) and that works great, You can even put an old extention on it so you dont damage your socket when your driving it in.
![]() Dont stop now stang! you've got three boats to get ready ![]() |

Just hooked up to the hose and ran for a few minutes...shut off and on again..fires easy!
Had to break for dinner...so we will set the timing tomorrow...and pop it in the lake! Pointers...Take it to a good builder...bring it home and put it in...hope to remember what goes where....and make sure you nieghborknows his sh-t!!! ![]() I tell ya...really learned a bunch! Next time I am taking pics of where everything was and having a more organized method...and writing a log! Most of it went back easy...but a few wires had me for a bit.Lucky I had the shop manual. Hey Wood...what did you do for carpet color??? I'm doing red in the 62. |

stang,
Gonna go with grey carpet...was hoping to get a "new" red interior before GL, but the upholstery guys been "hiding" lately...at least I still have the blue... Im still working on putting new floor in.... As for the 283-engine "builder", Im gonna try it myself. Ive built lots of "normal" engines, Time to try my hand at a backwards marine one. I wish I could find a marine manual for a Chevy/Pacer conversion tho!? I did take some pics of the donor motor before dis-assmbly. Good luck getting her wet! Take some pics!! ![]() |

Stang,
180 out.... Yup i did the same thing and also had two plug wires backwards, Talk about running like sh*t!!! I think you will be amazed at how much torque that 312 has? The heads and valves are just huge in those ![]() ![]() I also wish i would have taken pictures before i started.... To many things to remember by the time you get ready to put it back together! 62, As one Famous comedian said "GET-ER-DONE ![]() ![]() ![]() With half the weight and twice the power you boat would be like a rocket! Yea baby!! |

Can any of the guys that have been to Green Lake or somebody that knows where everything is throw a half arse map together of where everything is located? I see Norwegian Bay but would like to know where the launches and campgrounds and whatnot are? Relative to other places, campgrounds, B and Bs, gas stations. That would be very helpful. Thank you.

PLBC,
Is it ok to receive this in the registration packet come Fri night of the event? This was going to be included and openly discussed the night we all arrive... There are these exact point I would like to mention due to the many of us using the docks around the maina that weekend.. They're several different spots to launch from and get gas from around the lake.. If you would like some more information, you could give me a call as well and I'd be happy to help.. Thanks, Mojo !!! ![]() |

PLBC,
If you go to the Greenlake website, they'll send you a free tourist map type deal. I got three or four items from them, but haven't had a chance to look them over yet. I think the site is referenced in the registration section for the Greenlake reunion. BKH |

Yes Brian, that is correct, thanks for the reference.. There is a map of the lake, unfortunately, however, they're no reference to anything like gas stops,restrooms, eating establishments etc.. Nor the proximity to town..Great if you're fishing...
The site from the Chamber will give you locations of all hotels being considered and practically everything else about the city you could ever want.. Like I said, if there are any specific questions, please feel free to email me or give me a call after normal business hours.. Thanks Dave |

A turbo six-beater!?!..NOW thats something even I didnt think off! Like Ive said before, she is a pooch...but I still love the looks and even the sound! And with gas pushing three bucks, the operating cost is pretty reasonable. ...hmmm a turbo........ ![]() |

I'm gonna go ahead and be a noob here, I don't want to go back page by page and still come up empty. I'm looking for a copy of the flyer to print off here, so I can hand it out to the 20 Correct Crafts on our lake this weekend. I'm not terribly concerned if it's color or not. Thanks.

Hey all
Got a new trailer a few weeks back, and now I can make the trip to GL without hesitation or worry. I actually used the trip as an excuse for the new wife so she'd let me pony up the money. Don't tell her that! ![]() Rob |

Wood...Rob , I have it figured out! Find out what is on the wifes want list! Ya have to work the wording a bit so you don't sound like such a greedy Bast--d
![]() It goes like this... "hey honey...you've been wanting to take a trip have'nt you?"..."Niagra falls??? you have never been there right?"....SHE replies..."why do you ask?"....ME...(this is the subtle hook part)"oh, nothing really...ah..just thought I would want to see a boat in Detroit...it's on the way you know". Ok...yes...greedy bast--d! It's better than buyin one and tryin to hide it behind the garage! I'm already workin something so I can see Jbear...it starts out...you know just put Orlando in Niagra's place! Color it with the Disney World part for the kids...and bing batta boom! See ya this winter John!!! And yes you can have them all...Wood! |

Thanks for the link. I saw the flyer before but couldn't find it yesterday. If I get ambitious I'll even go over to the 2 neighboring lakes with another 20 boats to solicit.

No problem Hollywood, look's like it got lost in our 30 pages of chatter. You think we're all a little excited or what.
I can't thank you enough for pushing the fliers, I can honestly say this thing is starting to wear me out a little but it will worth it. That's the best way you all can help out is to get more people there. Thanks everyone |
