Lol I'm not in that arena, but feel pretty confident I can hold my own with the near or above 80 group, lol

Ray

you need to go to fisher's... (This weekend) That's where the fast boats are....

No they're not, they're in my garage and 2sav's carport! lol

(got your back Steve!)

Ray

Hate to say it, but yeah, kinda looks like a season of Desperate Housewives, lol.

You guys better get this thing, RJ is DYING to see it (And wants it, lord help me, I've created a monster!).

Ray

At this rate, my bet is 31 pages for the record, lol (Both threads together)

I already have the freeby blaster coil.
125 a case and I thought mobil 1 fir the harley was bad at 11 a quart

That's actually more expensive if you do the math. The kicker was I ran their break in oil first, which was 100 for THAT case, and to only run it a few hours was crazy, but I did it, lol. Now if I don't figure out where it's leaking from on the pan, this thing's gonna bleed me to death slowly like an ex-wife!   (Small leak, but after running the boats as hard and as long as we did sunday, quite a pool of oil in the bilge and it needs about a half qt.)

Ray

I'd love to guys, and I'd love taking the title, lol. But working all weekend, 'tis why my blue boat was loaned for the "hunt for red october".

Ray

anyone run synthetic?

Yup, but you dun wanna know what it costs, lol.

Joe Gibbs Hot Rod oil. buck twenty five a case.

Ray

Charley, are you able to meet me in Bythe or Quartzite maybe thursday or friday next week? I have to met Jeremy in Parker for my boat anyway in that time frame, and it's close?

Ray

Glad to help Cadillac. Though I really didn't help in any way. The diver seemed cool enough, waving at me and asking if I knew the owner (To which I said well, kinda......).

They THEN asked if they needed to follow me around, who's been talking?

Figure out what you need. I have guages in the Saguaro and in this Hallet Brad just gave me (Faded, but prolly all work fine to get it through the season). Didn't catch how your seats were in there, but maybe someone has some laying around....( eh hem ...Aquaholic.........)

I got a girl that works for me in Chandler that is an upholsterer and artist and gawd knows what else she does well (She's kinda scarey and weird), but she'll work for cheap on your seats, or replacements if we can come up with them ( ah hem!....Aquaholic). lol.

Big thing is the engine. Lemme know how it works out, I'm a phone call and a heart beat away from you, a garage full of stuff I may or may not be able to ID, and now a yard full of boats! (Hallett is already going to get underway at another garage, once the blue one comes back, I have no room for it, lol) On that note, I'm thinking a SCJB Boat, I mean the graphics, colors, skull, everything all over it.

Ray

Good luck today guys!    Looks like a good day for the lake to me out there.

Now I gotta do something about this green swimming pool.....Dammit, just shocked it the other day too  I'm missing something here, lol

Ray

Well, there's you and Terry, Jeremy's got my boat, so that's three. Chromey's not fixing his, so I'd guess he's free (sent Jeremy with a couple toddler vests, JIC Chromey tries the Babysitter excuse), I'd say you're ok if you have a few old tires or tubes layin around. More tha  enough horsepower to flip it and drag it. I'd take some spray foam (The Door and Window stuff), and a couple tubes of silicone, but that's just me thinking out loud.

Left Jeremy with one rope, 25' I think, might need more.

This is just me guys, I would try lifting it. put some tires or tubes under the gunwales of it, then drag it right into the shoreline before flipping it.  You've prolly already planned this with Terry's Yeager, but you might be able to flip it right into the water on it's bottom.

Just my .02, and you guys prolly already thought of that.

Ray

Yeah, I get it.  I'm hoping he was doing what I WOULDA DONE, and be in the marina bar gettin tanked!

Then I'd prolly just wanna lick my wounds and look at what I got left

BUT, if I were on here, and I'm jaded, I know you guys woulda helped me out and I'da used that resource. (you guys have been my support group anyway and you know why and how)

Only been a day guys, his baby went down, I'm sure it wasn't cheap to recover it, and in this economy, may be more to this than meets the eye.

But yeah, I'm dying to know too! Why start it and not follow through. I'm a follow through nut, and am kicking myself every day for no progress on the Yellow Submarine (actually causing me some stress), but I'm having too damn much fun with the ones I have running right now!!!!

Ray

I mighta missed another free boat? is that what yoou're telling me??

Ray

i havent lost money on it.....i spent $700 on it (yeah, way too much for the times)...but i got $350 for that jacuzzi place diverter...and i still have the jacuzzi pump..and a nicson floor mount foot pedal.....and a bunch of other useless hardware i pulled out of it. figure if i can get $200 or so for the jacuzzi pump....im close enough to call it even in my book

those 4 calls were all for the trailer only....they were going to dispose of the hull.....which i would hate to happen. its fuggin ugly as sin, but is still solid as an ox and has a ton of potential to live another 30+ years.

but its yours now, do as you please....restore it...junk it...make a flower garden out of it....what ever you do, just have fun doin it.

Lol, nope, just spent about 10 or 20 minutes out there drinking a beer and processing what I think it could be. It's gonna get built. Just trying to wrap my lil brain around it right now.

And I was kidding about the Fugly part, I see the potential in it. Very desireable hull.

Ray

Anybody runnin a Viper V-10 in a jet boat yet?
