Greg, We will definitely get together at Badin or my place this summer. I'd kind of like to do some touring with my boat on some of the bigger lakes "out west" (Badin/Tillery). A little more to see than on my neighborhood lake. But either way, let's plan on it.

Larry,
Grab your gear and come play on NYD at the tourney at Lake Norman. I still have not checked the box for a b/f run at seven lakes yet either....... (Subtle hint) |

Sounds like you've got it all lined up. Well, you know you are welcome any time. March may be a little chilly, but I've been out as recently as 12/21 in a dry suit and had a ball.
  Not unpleasant at all. Should be at least that good in march, and april is a no-brainer. |

The plan is to take it to Astor for the River Run in March, drop it back off at Reid's, then take it to White Lake in April before takiing it home...so there will definitely be time to run it there!

Adam, wait till it warms up a bit before coming to get it so we can pick up where we left off.

Don't forget the buoy of shame! I'm told my boat's running again...low pressure pump was the culprit. |

The only reason to give me advance notice is if you need me to be there -if not the key is hanging above the door on the backporch. With the green lakers taking next year off I am hoping to get a bunch of people to head out here in the mid july timeframe next summer to break in the new house. Thats not to say I am not up for some wetsuit season visitors as well - my boat is in the hoist the weekend after whitelake. For that matter it will be be in the hoist at least another month. |

First weekend after may first sounds great! Doug, Adam, gotta bring boats,gear, and liquid courage to get in that cold spring water If the Benjamin's get wind they're good for at least half a dozen boats!  Should we let Joe know???? |

I think we need to do a spring reunion out at Joe's place. We get to explore a new lake, and he doesn't have to risk his boat on that low-rider trailer of his. Win-win!

That trailer came to me with a new set of springs and spring mounts ready to weld on... I should've taken the hint. Or used one of the other two trailers I have that fit it.

Hell yeah, home-made lift kit! It will make buffing the undercarriage a breeze.

That is Owasco Lake in Auburn, NY – part of the fingerlakes. It is as clear as a bell these days, both because it rarely gets cold enough in the winter to turn over in the spring anymore, and due to the last 20 years of zebra mussels filtering just about every square inch of bottom. You should put it on your list of places to visit, my house is no Benjamin cottage but it still has a pretty view. Upon further inspection the shaft had a pretty serious crack under the coupling that was causing the "bend" - not salvageable. Glad I moved it to the bouy and didn't try to run it anymore that weekend. The gas station prop bump didnt help things but was not likely the root cause. So I can feel free to rock the sagging springs on the no prop guard trailer for at least another season. |

Nice pics Joe! Where are you in NY? That lake looks nice and clear! I can see the rocks on the bottom in the pic!
Did you have to replace the shaft or were you able to straighten it as you were hoping? |
