C'mon bro, you dont need to apoligize to me.... I aint gonna hide from the truth! lol
I've been told that this year 2010 wont be as good a year for us Local 12 Operators... so Im not doing any spending untill work picks back up.
As the boat sits right now, its about 2 years out from where I want it.
As far as this season goes... just gonna throw in some higher compression pistons (8.1 now) and call it a day!
I just want to be able to attend these gathering with you guys this summer since I got such a late start on it last year.

And what a grand summer its already shaping up to be! Glad to have your commitment on the comraderie! (thank gawd I have 2, nearly 3 running boats, back to 1 and 2 nearly running with Moo down right now  ) But I'll make them! 

You don't have to have a boat to attend these things, but it helps. (I have a problem with not showing up with a boat, but that's just me! I SHOULD have that problem given my inventory).

Next event (for me) is the Bartlett Lake gathering from the PB Eastsiders (some of you should see this!) in Feb, then Temple Bar, Memorial day at Sag, Fathers day at Big River, on and on and on........

You're in good shape Nate! Love your sled, and it's gonna be with you awhile! Leave it alone and go by your plan. Don't even try and compete with Boost on his timeframe. He has such a head start, for one, and I surmise Brian has quite a few things under cloak in that thing!  Gonna be a runner to be sure! It was before he decided to mess with it some more! (And prime for stealing ideas for YOURS!!!)

Finally got my gf's camera and here are some pics. Just got this last summer, my first boat a '78 Challenger. These pics are from last summer before taking it out for the first time. Since then I have painted the trailer the yellow it should be, gotten custom interior work, and put in a bad a$$ stereo system. Ill post complete pics once I get the motor back in from the rebuild. Oh yeah, and I just ordered some new rims for the trailer Damn, "they" were right when they said boats are EXPENSIVE!

i enjoy this site very much. A lot of cool a$$ people on here with a lot of helpful advice and knowledge. Thanks

Hmmmm . . . got that kinda whack  but close enuf for this place I guess.   Drink up everybody, its last call for me.
