Did Beefy Slip A Trim Computer In On Ya Too ? I knew he got some New Reeds and a Set of Plug Wire , but a Trim Timer . Now that just wasn't wright . Next time count how many batteries he's got in the boat , then multiply times 12 . Last time I looked there where like 5 batteries in that thing . That's something like 60 volt trim . I'm going to get me one of them Honda Generator to run my trim system ,then ya'll will see what quick is !

did not want to speed it up (odyssey batt. in the garage ;) ) because the last thing a novice action diver needs is trim and I have ruined enough underwear learning that :eek:

Thought I'd mention one more thing. I spoke with Paul Wellington this morning and for those of you who don't know...or remember...he's the property manager for the Shady Oaks property that we had been allowed to use in the past. Good News to report! Looks like they will be able to let us use the property again for future events! We'll have to get the insurance as well as the port-o-lets but this gives us our own private entrance onto Lake Kissimmee.

I just caught up on this thread. Shady Oaks is beautiful--way to go Mike--hope it works out.

I think the key, if you have two people, is to launch at the hwy 60 ramp, run the boat and drive the rig around to the Oaks.

And again, Tom, thanks for all the work.

Thanks! The use of the Shady Oaks Property and the fact that this has allways been and continues to be a FREE event:thumbsup: makes the River Ranch get to gethers special!

Ya Tom , I was hoping people had forgoten that . I think it was just a fluke .

Randy , you've already crawled all over that thing . Maybe next time you look at it ,you should check the wheel bearings on the trailer . Think there could be some secret stuf going on in there also .

It still amazes me , how well a flywheel and some shiney bolts can make a lil 150 run !

That depends...Most times we run about 20+ miles north to te river between lake hatchnehaw and lake kissimmee. Now, you can run all the way to the north end of lake toho...about 45-50 miles. Good news is there is gas on several locations on the chain. Most places have fresh 93-oct. due to airboat tours out of the fish camps! Of corse the rides depend on the wind. If the north winds come up...Lake Kissimmee gets ROUGH! Hope that kind of answered your question. Mike T.:cheers:

thanks for the help... my need some directions if i decide to go... have to make sure i am still working first before i commit to going.... Eric B.

Eric, it's a pretty long haul even after you get into Florida. If you are gonna make the drive on Thursday lemme know there are a few of us from Panama City and a couple from South Georgia that will be leaving out on Thursday. About eight hours for us.

Eric,
That boat has been to RR several times. As long as you don't stand on it all day, that 17 gal tank is plenty. Hope to see you there. You'll enjoy it.

We reserved two RV spots on the canal, and they said the discount code you guys posted did not aply to the camp grounds. Don't any of you guys go in RV's ??? I guess everyone is staying in the motel. The campground on the canal is awsome and you can dock right behind the RV. Anyway, we will be there.

Well , Fortunatly for ya'll , the Buell is the only two wheeler in working order these days ,and it's anything but fast . I wouldn't even try and line that up with a good running street car . And Mickey , No the truck is not fast either . It's just transportation , for me and the boat . It does get good mileage though ,so if you want to though say 5 gals in both out trucks and see who gets furthist . Looser Walks Back !
