Doesn't seem like many people are heading out... not many new pictures or videos lately.

I have some new motivation to get out again, just bought a Bob's JP and hyd steering. Why I didn't buy it earlier, I have NO idea.
 
I was going to go out today, But saving it for tomorrow might even head back to St.Clair again(will be more action than my regular spots!) and hit Browns for lunch and fresh cocktails! Everyones welcome!!! 77 & Sunny forcasted ?!?!?!?!?

I'll be out few more times too! Then back to Karys for affordable indoor storage and hopfully a fresh rebuild!:surf:
 
are you kidding? i took my boat to my mechanic last night and he laughed at me:lol: he has 2 dozen boats to winterize and shrink wrap. "and you want me to fix ur chit so you can go boating" quote..... hahahaha i said yep w/ a smile on my face !!!!!!:eyecrazy: i have lots of winter clothing so i'm not to worried about the weather but rain:devil: and even then not so much:bigthumb: we still have 2 months till my baby gets put to sleep.
and in the same breath i will say i just ordered the rest of the wood i will burn for the winter:brickwall: i guess i will be warm when i get off the lake:p
 
Funny you should ask...........

Checkmate: Burned through about 12 gallons last weekend, but just told the wife tonight I want to pull the Pulse off the boat lift and put it under the carport so that I can do some detailing this weekend if the mood hits. Two good coats of wax this spring lasted well, so there's not much to do, but since it'll be a high of 73 and sunny Saturday, it might be a great day to work in the driveway. Wife's working all weekend, and then it's supposed to get colder and rain, so her tubing boat may not get used the rest of the year. I might pull her Aquatrax this weekend too.

Now it's decision time on her tubing boat, list it for sale or ?? It's a fantastic little 'big' boat, but I'd really like a 2100BR again ;)

Pontoon boat: We'll keep boating into October with the 'tooner! :surf:
 
you guys are as crazy as my wife! boat til the snow flies:poke: we only get 5 months of boating weather.......... maybe!:o
 
If I go up to the lake house this weekend im going to use my mate . My pontoon is still in and also the jet skis are still on the lifts. Im not ready to give it up just yet . Still trying to get the old man to bring his boat home so we can cruise the Detroit river before the end of the season .

Ross, did he give you any ideas what the problem might be?
 
Man, I just got home from boating! Beautiful day here- got on the water at2pm and just now got home! Ran into a friend of mine, all in all a good day:cheers:. Plenty of good boating weather left!:thumb:
 
We will continue boating thru October weather permitting.
When it gets too cold to enjoy it we put it away, but not
until then. I'm talking about when you need to wear a winter
cap to keep your ears from freezing. Stretch it as long as
possible!!
 
We could boat until about middle of October then it's to cold for the wife. I ended the season early to fix the floor.:(
