Holly Crap, I want your life,:drool: just for this weekend, well no thats not true, I want it until that boat is gone, and then I want the next owners life.
My life sucks, well not really, but man I want that boat.
 
I'll be enjoying the fine Florida weather over on the Gulf Coast Saturday.:bigthumb:

Probably hit one of the local lakes on Sunday for some wakeboarding.:D
 
As others have said, I'm planning on a couple October outings too- maybe more if I fall in love with the new jackplate/steering!
 
I am hoping to get out Sunday!!!

I have everything to winterize the 300XS, but I am hoping that we have a nice fall like in 2007.

In 2007 I was on the water until Halloween.
 
Ill keep boating till we start getting some good frosts, mainly cause my garage isnt heated and I winterize the motor at that point. Get some great beer cruises on the river once the leaves change around here, some of the best views in New England

Sure rub that in for us guys up here in Michigan lol . Christmas Morning I was sitting in my ice shanty fishing . You know our lakes gets alittle stiff up here when it get to 32 and below lol . :surf:
 
Oh come on you guys!!!! I live in maine and my boat is not put up or the winter yet!! Actually right now is the best time to ride, not alot of Barges Pulling tubes etc. to worry about. Plus the air temp is just right. :thumb:
 
Hey jtaj77
How you like that valero. A guy down the road has one has been on trailer for about 4yrs never in water as long as i have seen it. I stopped over and talked to him about it. He may be into selling it, has a 200hs mariner had carb issues but they were fixed he said i could get it running if i was interested. And do you still have your enchanter??? I'm am looking for a better/ bigger boat to go riding with fiance the little Mx is fast fun but gives her a little beating looking for a better ride for her.
 
I have not even put the Valero in the water. I'm working on getting the hydraulic steering on it. Work and other stuff have kept me from making any progress. Good thing we can boat all year. I still have the enchanter and I'm not sure about what I'm going to do with it. I don't need two boats. I may keep it over the winter and do a few little things to make it nicer and sell it at the beginning of our season. :D
 
Yeah, I'm still boating....broke the duck rig out today and did a shakedown run--I boat every weekend rain or shine til hunting season ends in December. :devil:

Enchanter, we'll probably head to LSC on the Convincor this Sunday, may see ya in the Moot.

I was on LSC today and went thru the north channel today for the 1st time and found another bar named Deckers,Nice atmosphere, old but easy docking and a nice open view better then browns view.;)
 
Should've been out today, but had A.M. issues. Tommorrow looks to be a good day!

Hope for a couple more times out anyway.
