Well I had a perfect day @ the lake today. Very happy with my rebuild. If anyone is interested I will be going back out tomorrow most likely very early to get a good beach spot in the north arm.

Right on The Chaz!!
I will be there testing my outboard's repairs, another friend with a quick flattie will be there and a bad asssssed Eliminator too ;D I'm getting there around 10AMish ;)
See you in the water... woops I meant on the water >:D

Make that 10:30 :D

My family boat is running like crap :'( running exactly like it was before it caught fire, problems idling, problems at low speed, runs good at high speeds. Had a good day anyway ;D met up with a friend of mine in his v-drive and met with The Chaz for a while. Sorry I didn't have a beer to share with you The Chaz :(
I figured out how to make a video with my camera. After I ran out of camera space I figured out you can zoom in before you start the video but not after :D so I have some pretty crappy video's to share of The CHaz with his 2 year old son in his lap and a few of my friend's v-drive. The camera doesn't record sound. Now I'm going to try and figure out how to post crappy video's ??? :D
I couldn't figure it out ??? ::) I'll try to in test in a little while... ;D
-
I forgot to include that I saw The Chaz launch his entire boat out of the water and it looked bad assssed >:D

v-drives are truly amazing machines. I finally got to drive one and was only impressed by everything about it. The only thing I didn't like about the drive was how "floppy" the hull felt and looked but I am sure that is directly related to the hull's lay-up itself and not the fact that it's a v-drive. The boat I drove is a flatbottom and handled wakes extremely well, turns on a dime, acceleration is closer to how a car feels than how a jet drive feels, a lot less load on the engine than a jet drive, and was able to cruise the boat on a plain easily at 2500 RPM. I am now 51% sure the Rogers will go bye bye and I'll get a v-drive instead.
BTW, if anyone knows how to post crappy video's that play on window's media player please let me know.

I knew you wouldnt finish that Rogers and (wtf ) You said, flatbottem's handles wakes extremely well. Were you on drugs again. Buy a flat and lets go to Havasi and see what that flat can do.hahaha Now go ride in a tunnel and see what it can handle. (waves + flatbottom = pain in your ass) You better stay with your bayliner.

Looks like you had a good time even with boat running crappy. Good luck with the video's. Would love to see.

Had a blast at the Lake O0 Good to see you there Hotrod56cars ;) Glad to see you got the boat running again. Looked like you had a blast with the family. I wish we had a pic of that launch >:D I did notice the power loss from the lower compression pistons >:( Oh well maybe it will last longer this time.
