Thanks to Adam for giving me a chance to ski In March!! and thanks to Kurtis for letting me hop onboard his boat. Being a newbie, I didn't know what to expect. What a great bunch of guys, I am so glad I got to meet some of the CCF family and put some faces to the names. Thanks to everyone involved for all their hard work in making this a most enjoyable event!!

What is the special this month George?

George, thank you for the generous $100 donation to my "boat fund".
Bought a few things from you recently.
Now I owe Marty Mabe $40 for the great "Sport Nautique" spare tire cover that was waiting in my mailbox when I arrived home from the SJRR.
It was a pleasure to meet you and Nick, but I missed the pretty one Christine!

Haven't gotten to any of the videos yet, I've been pretending to work today, but this was definitely the week of IAughtNaut trailer issues.

Flat tire 100 miles south of charlotte on the way down, and then some of you were around to witness this fun yesterday morning


As nice as it was for Butch to let us use his ramp all week, it did not do me any favors on Monday. The bunk with all the tape got completely ripped off, the tape is just holding the carpet on. Thank God for Gary, cause he put it together just enough to get the boat on it to get it home. You may also notice that the front cross member is all bent up, and its difficult to see, but behind the third piece of duck tape the bottom of the trailer frame is bent up on both sides. Looks like we found the end of the ramp the hard way...fortunately I dropped the truck in 4L and yanked through it, with the boat on top of the trailer fender of course.

Then when we got it on the trailer I found the real damage done by knocking the bunk off...ouch



Left parramores at 10:40, pulled into the BBC a little after 7:00, left there at 7:40 and made it back to Cleveland at 2:40am...16 hours total. I'm gonna have to be a little smarter about that plan next year, cause that was no fun.

ChristinesMarine.com April Special is Glove Box Mania! No foolin' here! Go to Parts for Sale to find the link. Site won't let me post the link in more than one post at the same time.

Glad we could help with the new liver IAughtNaut!!

I'm sure it's the standard DUI answer. " I have only had two beers".

Dang, that Adam certainly is rough on the equipment but heck is seems to be having fun and isn't that what it's about?

Late Saturday afternoon, after the horrific storms, a trip to Silver Glen Springs. Boys in the water, sun going down. Beautiful.

Rain coming down, Kelly seeking cover, Emily playing games!!

Finally getting time to post a few pics...

This is what 4 qts of 80-90 gear lube,leaking from a rear pinion seal does to your boat..took 3 hours to clean the hull. Decided to finish the bottom at a car wash...


Billy gesturing how much FUN a Chevy powered boat is..


After we took the factory tour.. check out who we met coming into work!


had to get a pic of the 73 in front of the factory sign..

Part of the "CCF Ambassador Crew" at Saturday nights dinner..


Mr. Ralph addressing the audience after dinner..


Terry presenting a copy of the oil painting of the Hurricane to Mr. Ralph..(we missed getting the original painting at the auction by "this much")


2:30 Sunday afternoon.. time to start the 1200 mile trip home..



Even tho the weeks weather was so-so. , it was a GREAT week and definitely worth dragging the 73 around all week!

My wife votes for a Smith Mountain Lake mini last week of June. We usually do 2 trips up there a summer and this year she's nagging to bring the SN.

I was hitting the crab pretty hard.... helping with "clean up". Thanks Pallmer! Not good weather for foiling Saturday though... Brought the easy up handle for you, if you needed it. Helps with initial stability. I live in SW VA - So, I am up for local but spent most of my work credits for a long distance trip.

Ha! I guess you can say, I am the Ham that brought the Ham!!
I saw a guy in a fancy gray mechanics shirt, juggling crabs, but thought that cant be you, as that guy looked young and handsome. Haha. Sorry we missed each other. Next time. Kids in school, make the summer look best. The Air chair never even made it out of the Cabin.
