Sites for lodging and some lake pics
http://www.flipenterprises.com/ - this is the Inn closest (walking distance) to the Saturday evening rendezvous at Sport Island Pub

http://www.innatthebridge.com/ - this is also close to the Pub; docking available

http://www.superior.net/~lanzi/ - nice upscale restaurant with a big deck; casual

http://www.eagleshore.com/ - just some photos

http://www.ReserveAmerica.com/usa/ny/nort/ - NYS campsight; nice lakeside sights
- sights 204 to 213 recommended......214 - 216 are very good but inpossible to turn a trailer around in but with a waterfront sight you could just leave her in. I'm at 207.

Tom

[RONNIE]

Better duck your head!!!BUZZZZZZ!!

[Liqui-Fly]

He'll be riding with me. None of his five boats will be running.

David

[woodco]

We will be there thats right around the corner from us:D

[at100plus]

Already reserved site 209 - Phastboat, we are neighbors. Reserve your sites along the water before it's too late.

Woodco, what kinda boat ya bringin?

[LGT-FST]

Just around the corner and 100 posts for last years romp and it was no show woodco.

[PhastBoat]

You beat me too it. I was just about to make the same comment about woodnosho.:D

[stokernick]

PHASTBOAT!! it`s rumored you have a wedding(castration) soon after the Romp,are you sure your bride will let you go(come)???:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :D :D :D :confused:

[PhastBoat]

Is planned for 4th of july, 2003 so the ROMP IS MY BACHELOR PARTY. SO i will be there with bell's on and plenty or booze.;) :D

[81hydrostream]

I have never gone to one of these events is it worth the trip? Excatly what goes on?

[Liqui-Fly]

We run all over the lake for days. Camping and talking about boats. There are pictures from last years event here and on www.hydrostream.org

David

[81hydrostream]

Ill see you there looks like something i dont want to miss

[Liqui-Fly]

Where are you from?

[81hydrostream]

Im coming from jersey it will be great to have a change of scenery while boating

[81hydrostream]

Is there anyplace to stay thats close to the water if you dont have a camper? My question is can i bring a tent to the campsite and just use that or is that not allowed? any in put would be great.

[Liqui-Fly]

Tents are fine and the sites are on the water if you book early. Check out the old Rondak Romp Post from last year. I have pics of the water front sites that we stayed at.

David

[at100plus]

Dave, I did a search and got nothing from last years. Do you have the link? I never saw the photos of the waterfront sites.

[Liqui-Fly]

http://forums.screamandfly.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=8247


The default will only pull up the last 100 days.

[at100plus]

Just saw site 208 next to mine. Looks good. Can't wait. Next Sunday I'm bringing the Skater to my buddies shop to get some rigging done indoors. Come on SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!

[81hydrostream]

just booked site 211

[Liqui-Fly]

Feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail if you need anything. As time draws near I'll post directions...pictures of the lake ect ect.

David

[737jetmech]

All I can say is these guys like to run fast.I have never run so fast for as long on the dam run sunday.Water was a little rough on the way back.17 miles on the rev limiter, I kept an eye on the temp and water pressure thinking something was going to fail?
Having attended last year the only thing that bummed me out was those dam mosquitoes at the camp site!
:eek:

[Liqui-Fly]

The mosquitos won't be as hard on the "soft" folks this year. This winter has been brutal:D ;)

David

[stvhelm]

Are we bringing our women? it is phast boats bachelor party that week isnt it?

[Techno]

81hydrostream
I showed up the 1st year with a tow car and boat. That was my campsite.
Everyone else camping had.. camp gear???? go figure.
Doubt I can make it this year, too early for me.
I'm sure this is getting bigger year by year. ???
Lots of great boats and great people to meet.

[at100plus]

The water in that lake is the greatest. So clean and clear. I couldn't stay out of it.

[737jetmech]

If I can make it this year I'll leave the motorhome and camp in the great out doors with the "hard core" folks!A tent is all I will need...:D

[Liqui-Fly]

Helmut the ladies will be there but those that don't enjoy the outdoors and hours of boat talk generally don't have that much fun;) The Inn is pretty good for those types of things. Hopefully in years to come the region will see the need for a waterfront hotel. My wife will be in and out with Samantha but she's been known to find other things to do that weekend.

David

[eautosales]

sign me up

do ya think woodco the friendly ghost will come :eek:

[woodco]

Ya think ???? :D


At100plus ..... Mike More than likely gonna bring the Ally if the
Merc lasts till June :eek:

[stokernick]

your absence has been noticed and the bridge patrol wants to know if you`ll be there.the other upstate Stoker just got a radar gun for his birthday so it could be a real hoot!!!:o :D ;) :p :p :cool: :cool:

[Liqui-Fly]

We're going to steal one of those school zone speed trailer thingies and put barrels on it. :D

David

[PhastBoat]

There's one of those "your speed" signs on a trailer on the Grand Central Parkway. Maybe me and Mr.Clean will go steal it. The only problem is the trailer is attached to a NYCPD car.:eek:

[mr.clean]

;) :) :p :D :D

[Liqui-Fly]

I'm just joking guys and really am not interested in radar runs either. I will not do anything of the sort as a Rondak Romp event ect. Guys get killed when the guns come out and I don't want it on my ass. The past two years have been safe and a good time.

David

[at100plus]

As long as everyone is Screamin and Flyin safely, I could care less who gets 2 mph more on the top. I had a great time last year, and can't wait till this year. Hope to have a really great time this year cause I got a site on the water, and I know what to expect this time. :)

[stvhelm]

thats a great Idea. Hey I know Gregs brother is NYPD and maybe he can get us a radar sign that we can put out in the flats over here. that would be the **** if we set it up on a the little skiff he has.
just one question, how many digits are on those signs?

[Liqui-Fly]

I don't know. There was a time I started to try and find the components to build one but I decided having some hoodlums from LI steal one would be much easier:D

David

[PhastBoat]

I resemble that remark!

[mr.clean]

:p I WOULD RETURN IT WHEN WE ARE FINISHED;) ANYWAY I KNOW A COUPLE OF GUYS THAT WOULD RATHER NOT SHOW EVERYONE HOW FAST THEY,RE BOAT REALLY IS.:) ;) :D :eek:

[stokernick]

FYI ,Fly, Zelker just got a radar gun for his birthday,so if you`re serious----:) :) :)

[eautosales]

will i win the prize of the slowest et?:D
should i get a camp site or camp in the back of my truck


& for the bachelor party are we chipping in for strippers:p
or is it bring your own booty:eek:

[Tom D.]

We can hang it from the BRIDGE!!!!:D :D :D

Tom

[RONNIE]

I like Toms idea But like helmute said not enough digits

[Liqui-Fly]

I'll have the "Idiot of the Romp" trophy on hand this year.....so you'll get your ass whoopin and a trophy. Does that Vegas have all the Rinker mods now??

David

[mr.clean]

that trophy is mine :p

[stokernick]

Nicky says Electromagnetics (local) makes radar guns,but with Zelker there why would you need more???is the ice out yet??is the ice out yet??is the ice out yet??is the ice out yet??:confused: :confused: :confused: :D :D :D

[PhastBoat]

How about some pics of the lake. Is it still an ice skating rink?

[Liqui-Fly]

Too cold to ice skate.

[mr.clean]

you guys are in big trouble:eek:

[Liqui-Fly]

Here is your picture. Web cam

[at100plus]

Is that a recent picture? How can you get any work done up there without a heated garage? The weather is only warm enough for a month and by the time you are done rigging it is winter again. Boating must be semi-annual up there. Geez I thought it was bad here.

[PhastBoat]

Looks like Mr. Clean has the answer for the two or thre digits on the "Your Speed" signs. Humm? Now how do we get it to float?

[Liqui-Fly]

It takes skill to boat this far north;)

[Vinnie]

David,

Been workin on the "new" boat this spring. If it runs like it should, it will be a lot of fun. Will look good too..

If all goes well, I'll be there.

Vinnie

[PhastBoat]

Watcha get Vinnie?

[Vinnie]

Gonna stick with Bullet. An older one though. A couple hundred pounds lighter. Motor is a a 2.5 Offshore.

Should be faster than last year. A little hareder to drive though.

Guess we'll see after the ice goes away. Looks great sittin in the snow!!

Vinnie

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Hey Fly, I want to see all those flakes lined up nice and straight. And I don't mean SNOW! I hope to be there if Woodco sells me a bigger mota. Otherwise you all are gonna need to make two laps to keep up!:o Any word on that lazer? And do I want to camp? Talk to U later EXTREAM EH! Gone:D

[81hydrostream]

I was wondering what speeds do you guys run at the romp?

[EXSTREAM EH!]

81Stream REALY SLOW If I get there!:D The old mota just gets slower every year. EXTREAM EH! Gone;)

[stokernick]

not to worry about speeds...I have the world`s slowest Stoker <according to ````Fly> and he has the world`s fastest Stratos.it`s not really about how fast your boat is,it`s just a great get together with some boatlovin` hotboaters.John Tiger was there last year,and I think speed ranges were from 60 to 100 plus.you`ll have a great time I guarantee..IMHO:cool: :cool:

[PhastBoat]

Your Jig is up. I found out what your up to.

Zodiac Sparkle Vinyl

"Cool Retro Look"

HuuuuMMMMMMMMMMMM:D

I like this one.

[Liqui-Fly]

Sam I have no idea what you're talking about. What does that have to do with rocket propulsion?

David

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Hey FLY If you go fast enough them flakes are gonna blow right out of your boat!:D Don't put ur shovel a way yet it's gonna SNOW up your way this weekend:rolleyes: I'm gonna stay in the inn and drink!
EXSTREAM EH! Gone

[Liqui-Fly]

I'm gonna flip out. I've had enough!! If next winter is like this I'll be putting resumes in down in the Southwest.

David

[Vinnie]

Musta been invisible. Was there last year you say.. Never saw him...

:-)

[Tom D.]

Vinnie,
He came to the second one in August. That's why you missed him.
BTW I haven't done it yet but I plan on getting the same site I had last year. So your welcome to leave your boat there agian same as last year. I'll let you know when I reserve it.:cool:

Tom

[eautosales]

should i get a site? does everyone camp in the same area?
or should i drive home every night & leave the boat at the marina?:confused:

[PhastBoat]

We hang out at night around a small fire and BS about boats, and maybe we'll drink a beer or two.;)

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Small fire and only a beer or to? Don't sound like much fun to me.
:D Oh well I will bring my snow shovel just in case. EXSTREAM EH! Gone

[stvhelm]

more like a barn fire and cases of beer with naked chicks cause its sams bachelor party that weekend:D :D :D

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Now were talkin! Better not tell the wife about those naked chicks. :D It sounds like I need to camp more. (By myself);)
EXSTREAM EH!

[Liqui-Fly]

Naked chicks with mosquito bites. My favorite.

Here isn a picture of Sinclair Point. This is the starting point of the damn run.

David

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Do we get to go over the dam?;) Looks like a long way to the water. EXSTREAM EH!:D

[Liqui-Fly]

http://forums.screamandfly.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=8247&pagenumber=1

Interesting thread. Pictures ect.

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Hey Fly U got enough snow yet? I think I have to put the track back on the old girl EH! That is if I can get the tree off of it:mad: WE got 1-1/2" of ice here today. I have no trees with branches left.:( I hate winter. All I can say is I hope the ice age is over before the romp! EXSTREAM EH! Gone.

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Hey guys do I need to bring a snow blower to the camp grounds? I will have Plenty of fire wood I have cut up over five cords of wood from the storm. I hate winter and now mabye spring to.:D EXSTREAM EH! Gone

[Liqui-Fly]

Not necessary..I'll bring mine

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Looks more like a snow sucker! Hope it don't suck them flakes of ur boat! EXSTREAM EH! Gone

[Tom D.]

I got site 201. Can't wait!!!!

Tom

[PhastBoat]

I picked up 5 more mph with the addition of the flames. I'm comming to get you;)

[Liqui-Fly]

Come june we'll see what's what!!!:eek: :eek:

Tom:D :cool:

[Liqui-Fly]

I'm going to have a lawn chair and a nitrous bottle in the boat......The rest will be unfinished product

[Dutch]

If anyone needs a campsite I will have one available.
I just found out the wedding my three year old is in
is this weekend. Its a close relative, so I have to
go. The site is right across from Helmuts and Phastboats.
Matt

[eautosales]

dutch how much for the site?

[stokernick]

Phastboat'it looks like your flames are going backwards,are you locked in reverse???:confused: :confused:

[Tom D.]

Eauto,
Go to reserve america on the first page of this thread. You have to get site for 3 days min. Camping fee was $48.00 + $9.00 reservation fee total $57.00 on your credit card. Or call 1-800-456-2267. Maybe Dutch could transfer the site to you and save some bucks and head aches, I don't know. Worth a try. Worst they could say is no.

Tom

[PhastBoat]

:D

[Dutch]

E auto,
The site cost me a total of $57. I will call tomorrow and
see if it can be transfered, and see what they would charge
me if I cancel. If you look on the campsite map it is site #210.
thanks,
Matt

[stvhelm]

screw there fee's. Send matt the money. just say "Hi, Im Matt, Im checking into site 210. which way is the site? thankyou...." when you pull up. there might be a waiting list for cancellations and the next on line will get first dibs. just thinking out loud...:rolleyes: ;)

[Liqui-Fly]

I thought you were crashing at the Flip Inn. Make up my mind already will ya?? Camping with "The Fly" costs an extra $50 a night

:p

David

[PhastBoat]

Dem there flames IS backwards!:confused:

[stokernick]

phastboat,now I see what you mean,so why don`t you just turn the boat around?????:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :cool: :cool:

[PhastBoat]

What if i turn my prop around and put the neg. cable on the pos. post of the battery?:rolleyes:

[stokernick]

just do one or the other,otherwise they`ll just conteract each other!!!I can`t wait to see those flames fly at the Romp.also see the Velocity stomp.first we need the liquid form of 2H2 O,and it ain`t happened yet.I`d bring Rezrection down to the Island but don`t want to run it in salt water,might be too fast!!!:cool: :cool: :cool: ;)

[PhastBoat]

[Liqui-Fly]

The lastest web shot from Eagle shore looks much much better than the last. The ice is still thick in some spots but it is leaving town. The water is coming up pretty fast. Two months and we're there!!

David

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Hey Fly It looks like the friggen moon! You sure your gonna have water by June? I was up to my place in Canada over the weekend And the whole lake is STILL frozen plus in some spots I had a foot of snow on the ground. But just so you don't worry the MISQUETOS were out!:D EXSTREAM EH! Gone

[10.5' Tunnel]

Stream where were you to find ANY snow? Its been 78 here almost all weekend, and hasn't snowed in awhile.

[EXSTREAM EH!]

10.5 Yep SNOW and a frozen lake too! I have a place up on Chandos lake. I was up to see Flat Out at his place and to bring the DOG BOAT home. It was realy nice but you get in the back woods and there is still a lot of snow had to get a buddy with 4wheel drive to pull the boat out of the barn and up to the road. Please keep your eyes open for Flat Outs car trailor some SOB riped it off from his place. It had about twenty motors and a tun of parts in it. Check out his post for details. Lets get these Bastards! EXSTREAM EH! Gone:D

[10.5' Tunnel]

I heard about flat outs trailer, what a piss off. I boat in that area to. Im gonna keep my eyes open for any trailer, cause if they try and sell it, i bet they will paint it:mad:

[Liqui-Fly]

Won't be long now

[Liqui-Fly]

Blaahahahahahahaha

[eautosales]

[Liqui-Fly]

It's too early.

[Liqui-Fly]

Must be everyone is busy. Awfully quiet around here. I'm gonna be collecting $$ off a Vegas no show hehe.

David

[eautosales]

how about a no show vector?:D

[PhastBoat]

Me and my 100mph (wanna be) Activator.;)

[eautosales]

am i gonna be the slowest there?

[Liqui-Fly]

You have BIGNICK all fired up now. He's combing the country for a 300X. He came over last night to tell me I wouldn't be finished. One should never count a man with a plan out!! Especially when I have an opportunity to lay it down on ships all weekend hehehe.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

I already had my turn at that. Someone is gonna have to do it. Be a sad day if a Vector was the slowest there.

David

[eautosales]

it might be a no show vector if i dont find a steering system soon:(

[eautosales]

& i need a prop that cheezy one i have does not cut it

[Liqui-Fly]

You did not persue it earnestly enough.

Looking foward to meeting all the new Rompers. Yoy guys are gonna be amazed about what a great bunch of guys this crew is. One month...man it was a long winter.

David

[john ring]

i got it fired last night,i had to put the carbs on from my other powerhead,smaller bore carbs ,but they will be allright for the break-in,now i have to get kits and get my big bore carbs rebuilt,(something i already paid for when i got the powerhead modded,but never got done)that pisses me off,oh well i will deal with that issue later.on the hose for an hour tonight then in the water tomorow night.i also think we should have a pool for the slowest boat.i,m in for a buck,i should have the best odds,because i am running omc

The ONLY time my sled breaks sixty is behind my truck. HAHAHA!

David

[wing nut]

commin from LI NY! with my hydrostream vixen :)

(yes dave u can drive :D ) lol

scott

[Liqui-Fly]

This is an early bird crew. We all like to be in the water by 9 and absolutely nmo later than 10. The run to the damn on Sunday morning got kicked off a little late last year and we eneded up coming back in noon time chop. Fill them up Saturday night and be ready to run Sunday morning. The rest of the days are simply play play play. Gas is available on the water but most tow into town and fill up. The launch ramps are very nice and never packed this time of year so it is a simple deal.

David

[PhastBoat]

Thats how I was planning on being in front!!!:D

[Liqui-Fly]

I think it slows all those freaking speed demons down to around 90........someday Sam...we'll get em.

[PhastBoat]

;)

[stokernick]

need I digress....Flames,Man,Flames!!!;) ;) ;) ;)

[at100plus]

[EXSTREAM EH!]

EAUTO Bring one for me EH!

EXSTREAM EH Gone:D :D

[eautosales]

we can raffle them off:D

[Liqui-Fly]

oooooooo

[PhastBoat]

When are you going to clean that thing. Its filthy!!!!

[stokernick]

You`d think he`d mount it on something FAST,like a Stoker, and put some flames on it!!!!:p :p :p

[john ring]

this freakin rain would stop so i can get my laser in and get my engine broke in,if i dont get a break tonight i'm just going to say to heck with it and wear a raincoat and helmet.i broke the news to the girlfriend this weekend that i was going even though she cant,that went better than i thought,but we will see the day after i get back

[Liqui-Fly]

It keeps everything cool:cool: That's 0K about the GF. You'll be all boated out for atleast a week after the romp and she'll get you undevided attention.

David

[john ring]

i got it in last night,put about two hours on it without a hitch,i'm going to have to look into getting rid of my rev limmited coil packs though.i gave it a couple of quick jabs up to 60mph(still having problems with self control).i also need to work on my setup some more,but all is comming together well,how's the stratos comming dave?

[Liqui-Fly]

That Kyntex (45 45 biaxial with mat) is some wicked strong stuff. I've been meaning to get some pictures.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

It's all slow boat stuff from 22 to 28.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

From the side

[eautosales]

just mail it to me i might pay ya i might not:D

[john ring]

are any of those hubbed for omc,i might like to try them out if your willing,i'm going to bring all mine to the romp also.maybe i can come home with some different ones

[Liqui-Fly]

The Raker will...through hub but the fastest there so far if you can believe it. We'll have to check and see.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

Where is the chatter? Is everyone worried the Fly is gonna show up and put an ass whoopin on everyone this year?

Lunch is served at site 207 Saturday afternoon. Burgers and dogs like last year. Real simple. We'll probably be on the water so those staying down stream can come by boat.

David

[81hydrostream]

Fly you finish your boat yet?

[Liqui-Fly]

I still have 2 weeks. Why are you rushing me;)

David

[81hydrostream]

no rush just wondering i saw the pictures on your other post it looks good so far

[Liqui-Fly]

Wherever I am I'm stopping next Friday and rigging the boat. It could go in the water right now but it wouldn't look all that pretty. I've got some floor to get in this weekend and then a lot of fairing work to do. I hope it atleast looks somewhat repectable for the Romp but from here on out everything I do is just adding weight so who cares if it gets done. vrooom vrooom

[81hydrostream]

Last year right around this time is when i finished my vector. One year later i ordered carpet for it. Last year i got it to a point and was like have to run it now put way to much money into it not to run it, and ran it for the season every now and then i order something for it to make it look better or perform better. The only thing that made it look good last year was i was able to pull the nice blue out of the gel coat so it looked good you know you have to look good as you pass some of teh other boats on the lake.

[john ring]

i'm about 8hrs into my break-in,i tried my 26in small ear chopper last night,crap-ola,i will be getting rid of that one,so far my srx and my shooter are working the best.so far its been going out and comming back without a hitch,so i will be there thursday,i still think im in the running for the slowest,i havnt broke 65mph yet,some night ill get to run it all the way out to see

[Liqui-Fly]

Big eared choppers. We might have to step a few back and run a cut nut for your shaft but well get some on there. Actually my Raker might shock the snot out of you.



David

[at100plus]

Dave have you any idea how many are coming to this event?

Two weeks away!!!!:D

[Tom D.]

Chatter, Chatter, Chatter!!!

Tom:D :p

[Liqui-Fly]

Some guys are coming and have to leave to race on Saturday. Some aren't coming until Saturday. Some never tell me anything. I know the entire row is booked at the campsite....so I don't know maybe 20. The local crowd generally depends on the weather. I don't hound people....I like the suprise when guys show up. I'm finally starting to think about the great fun of the event now that my hog is almost ready.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[at100plus]

Doesn't look to busy. How cold is the water? Will it be too cold to swim this time?

[Liqui-Fly]

I typically swim during the first Romp. Completely different experience than it is in August:eek:

[john ring]

already been in up here in maine,i cant belive that lake could any colder than up here , the water was 65 the other night.not too bad considering the spring we have had

[wing nut]

its getting closer! less then 2 weeks! i need a new inline trim cylinder (trim ram) or a seal kit.. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!, other then that the motor should be fine.

dave the boat isnt "blazing fast" but it should do around 55mph, i hope.


scott

[Liqui-Fly]

My motor is on the stand in the garage, the seats are at the upholsterers, and I have lots of epoxy yet to spred...not to mention rigging. You get that thing up here...I'll make it fast. 55 is bookin for a small boat like that. Ain't nothing wrong with that at all.

David

[mr.clean]

it would be my honor to ride in either or;)

[EXSTREAM EH!]

You think that water is cold you should have been at the opener at Flat Out's. Eight hundred plus miles to freeze my as* off. The season opener for the PBCC Was a blast as always. Some realy sweet rigs there this year. A big thank you to all my Canagin friends.Very COOL time and I do mean cool! Can't wait to get to the romp. Hey FLY you better polish up that slow boat trophy for me. I need another one for my shelf.:D

Let"s all hope for some warm weather EH!

EXSTREAM EH! Gone:D

[PhastBoat]

I got that ET - WOW - what a beauty - probably to steep for me, but maybe for the Fly? Me and Mr. Clean are all ready - Beer, Mosquito repelant, Beer, food, Beer, more Mosquito stuff, more beer, oh and a boat, with Beer in it. And some Tequilla. to wash down all that beer.

[at100plus]

What size? I really want to try a 30 or a 32 ET

I also want to try 30 or 32 Lab Cleavers

I'm bringing my 24 DAH Chopper up maybe that would be good on that Activator.

[john ring]

somebody say beer?and i also will be bringing some cabo wabo tequila

[PhastBoat]

only a 26- too small for you.

John- Now your talking my language!

[john ring]

don't get your heart set on that trophy,i ran 63mph last night and almost on the rev limit,it aint over till the fat boat sings

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Hay John My boats not fat:o But it is slow. Well mabye half fast EH. I will bring a few old Spennellis (sp) and a DHA 25 just for giggels. Anybody need a Merc inline lower unit? How bout a Land and Sea torkshift? I need a foot pedal. And a bigger mota. More rain this weekend. This sucks! SeeYa.

EXSTREAM EH! Gone:D

[john ring]

was not making fun of your boat,just making reference to the old saying "it aint over till the fat lady sings"i would not pick on yours or anyone elses rig without seeing it or running it.but i have good news and bad news,the good news is that your back in contention for the trophy,the bad news is as of 7:08this evening,while trying out a 24in cleaver comming up past 5700rpm there was a loud snap then a sudden loss of power.brought it back to idle and it shook violently,took of the cover and found lakewater running out of the bottom carb.tossed rod or broken piston,will tear down tommorow,but i may be out of the game.it is 8:10,lots of margarita mix left,will advise monday.i feel like god has taken a collosal dump on my head right now.

[eautosales]

is greg coming?

[EXSTREAM EH!]

John Sorry to here bout your motor what a bummer! I know you were'nt pickin on my boat I was just having fun with you. Even if your ride is still down come anyway I am sure we can find you a seat. And there's all that beer to drink and don't forget the dancing girls!:D

EXSTREAM EH! Gone:D

[Liqui-Fly]

I really hope you can get something together!! Regardless I hope you'll still be there.

Sammy I would love to run that wheel. I've got a couple you might like.

I'm looking good the boat is coming along nicely. Primer in spots for sure but it will be a good chance to check for cracks or whatever before paint in the thinn spots
:D

David

[john ring]

she's done,i tore down yesterday(hungover as well).found #5 had leaned out,the rest were fine,it burnt through,stuck,then tore the rod off the crank,and swung it through the sleeve and water jacket,after further investigation i found the side cover bolts loose on that cylinder so thats were it leaned out from.now im in the process of gathering up parts to repair my other powerhead,maybe i can pull it off in time,we'll see

[Liqui-Fly]

This is a good lake for break in too. You don't have to stretch it out. It isn't a bunch of D...heads that are gonna ride all weekend to get on it. It's almost nice to know someone else has some pressure on them.:rolleyes:

David

[john ring]

i wont be needing any break-in on this other powerhead,if i can get it together,it has one damaged piston,if i can find a used one in my parts stash,i'll throw it in,this thing is well worn,i'll proberbly put my high comp. heads,and my reeds in it to,we'll see what happens

[wing nut]

hey man,

yesterday was great, we fixed all the water leaking into the motor and with my srx i went 56.1mph (gps) then i lost trim but was probably in the 60's with ronnies cleaver, and maybe around 58-60 with my cleaver :)

its a sick little boat :) just keep it rite side up lol (btw check out the clip from the first day when i was goin about 50mph, i have a thred on it))


scott

[john ring]

there may be hope for a reserection,i found a piston and ringset last night,now if i can get it apart and back together and mounted on my leg by saturday i might have a chance at making it down

[Liqui-Fly]

We'll finish it. I got a shop we can take it too on the lake.

Put a pin on the Vixen and don't worry about trim.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

10 day cast ain't much but it's looking pretty damn good starting Wednesday next week!!

David

[john ring]

i've had enough rain,just got my sleeve honed and set in my well used piston,if all goes well i'll have the powerhead ready to set on tommorow night,hey extream ive got a real numb powerhead to work with now,the odds are back in my favor

[wing nut]

im working on digging up a new trim ram (the external ones fromt he inline6) and new cylonids and a new switch,
it will be in by next weekend for a little more testing..then its OFF TO THE ROMP!

[Liqui-Fly]

Don't chase the damn GPS. I wish I never bought one. Don't forget to first enjoy the boat!! I'm glad you're getting the trim hooked up...it will need it when my big ass climbs in.


John great to hear you're moving along.

David

[PhastBoat]

Went out today to go race JerrY and my chit wasnt running right. It runs great at WOT but when i stop it loads up bad ( to the point where it wont idle or get back to plane for a while, then will run great agian at WOT). So i went back home did a compression test 150lbs all six. Tried to run it on the hose, and fuel was running out of exhaust. Sounds like a stuck injector? Running out of time!!!:rolleyes:

[stokernick]

:mad: :mad: gotta be the flames!!!get it together,the `Romp is a comin!!!:cool: :cool:

[Liqui-Fly]

Everyone is in my boat. Ahhhh sweet sweet pressure. Sam you're missing the point...it runs good wide open:D

David

[john ring]

got all my gaskets this morning to put it back together,but after removing the reed plate from my grenader i found the broken rod had destroid one of my reed cages(brand new boysens),oh well back to the stock parts,powerhead is going on tonight

[Liqui-Fly]

The Romp isn't so much a race as it is a marathon so stock can be good. If we all don't get things worked out we'll sit around the boats and talk about what we expect them to do hehe. And if anyone makes fun of my primer:mad:

David

[at100plus]

It will get you to the dam and back!;)

[john ring]

thats kinda like admitting your a virgin,i cant do that,i'm going to put on my high comp heads,that will make up for the 80pounds of comp. this worn out thing has,len audette is going to set me up with some non rev-limited coil packs,back in the water by sat. to test the durability,its already broke in so drive it like you stole it!

[Liqui-Fly]

What is he doing with OMC powerpacks? Did he put his pride and joy Action in the water yet?

David

[john ring]

he's getting them from a friend,and i dont think he has had it in yet,i think he'll be ready the night before the romp

[mr.clean]

that gives your boat character. atleast one of you has it:p me and sam will pick up some krylon on the way up;)

[john ring]

the powerhead is mounted,need to bolt on the heads,hook up electronics,and rebuild the carbs.plenty of time to get things done on the boat then round up some camping gear,and fill the coolers.its been a long day,i'm outa here.extream eh , i havnt heard a peep out of you,you better not be de-tuning to keep up with me!

[wing nut]

hey guys... i got a question..

scott

[eautosales]

scott

[Tom D.]

Scott,
I'll pick up a couple handfuls of slim jimms and you'll be good to go.

Tom

[wing nut]

great news!! i picked up a used (awsome condition) trim ram today for $65 at pearl grey marine. so my trim will be good by the weekend (this weekend) i just gotta put in new cylonids and a new switch, which is no big deal. :)

ill bring the slim jims HAHAHA:p


scott

[at100plus]

I bring food and a big cooler. The ice lasts surprisingly long. We bring bicycles too, it's kinda fun to ride around the campsite, and it makes getting to the store and bathroom quicker.

The store at the campsite has stuff like milk, bread, peanut butter, jelly, syrup, eggs, and other camping stuff. We even got a tube for Helmut's bike tire there last year.

[Liqui-Fly]

There's a grocery store in the town of Northvile which is about 3 miles from the campsites.

Yeah Krylon hehe. Not very nice.

David

[Rich Owen]

Bring plenty of 100% Deet , the skeeters are gigantic !!!!! I saw one carry off one of Davids' props .

[Liqui-Fly]

I think they did something to me in the Marine Corps because the skeeters don't really bother me. Maybe I have some DEET pumping through my blood. I have tons of candle and an outdoor tent that I'm going to fill with chairs. That and citronella willwork if you actually light them. Plus it is incentive to be on the lake.

David

[EXSTREAM EH!]

I'am back been out of town for a few days. John the slow boat trophy is still mine. even if you try to slip in a ringer! I will just slip my 55hp Johnson on and then I will be sure to win! Hey fly I here krylon makes good skeeter repelent. It sound like good weather is on the way. see you all on Friday. save me some bugs ah I mean beer:D

EXSTREAM EH! Gone:D

[stvhelm]

Dave, do you know the campsites well? I coming with a 32ft motorhome thursday evening and were staying on a waterfront site 209. I just want to make sure this thing fits. i noticed some sites were on the small side last year.

[PhastBoat]

Last year 737jetmech brought a real big motor home on site 208 and it fit nicely, I was on site 209. You shouldnt have a problem. Worst case we'll tade sites I'm at 208 this year.

[john ring]

i fired it just minutes ago,runs good,no fuel leaks,i'm headed to the lake this afternoon,extream eh i'm not even going to take my gps,come thursday it will be a mystery.thanks for the support guys,its been a bad week,first the engine grenades,then the girlfriend and i part ways,guess i don't have to worry about comming back from the romp to a irate woman because i've been gone for 4 days,hehehehe

[EXSTREAM EH!]

Hey John Good to hear you are going to make it. Sorry bout the mota, not so sorry bout the girl friend you are probley better off with out her.I have been married for thirty years and can't get her to go;) Now you can spend all your money on boats. Ah hell to tell the truth they can be just as much trouble as women can, but at least they don't talk back. All kidding a side you will find the RIGHT woman some day. Well the buzz has warn off so it's back to my fiberglass work. :D


EXSTREAM EH! Gone:D

[PhastBoat]

Looks like we'll be there.
Warped heads of all things.

[CRMERC]

how far away is the flip inn from the camp ground ? My better half said boating or camping not both.

[EXSTREAM EH!]

FlipInn is about ten mins from the camp grounds. That's were I will be and I think there will be two or three others. Call soon to see if they have any openings. Parking and docking are avabile.
Good luck and hope to see you there.

EXSTREAM EH! Gone:D

[eautosales]

i think im going to find a place to stash the boat & commute back & forth to my house

[Liqui-Fly]

There are those that camp and those that stay at the Flip Inn and the bed and breakfast. At the motels there is a nice state launch ramp that you guys can put in at. The camp site has it's own launch. I'm home today....Sammy is a little sick. If anyone has any questions please call me.
