Bought my new boat.

[KaptainKirk]

Sat. afternoon.
She is now tucked quietly away in the pull barn.
Took out the interior, dropping that off next week to be changed from black to white.
also next weekend have to take the golf cart apart for new paint job to match the new boat.
Need a stencil of the RIOT name off the side of somebody else's boat, can anybody help me?
Sure can't wait til spring.......gonna be a llllooooonnnng winter.
K.K.

[Instigator]

Congrats on the new ride!!
Some of the best pictures from the Rumble (I think) are of Whitey floating his Riot down the river so high you could drive your golf cart under it!!
Will that damn thing even float once you trans plant that stereo into it :)
Seriouslly, congrats though!! Gotta be a shock to drive that thing compared to the old boat.
Assuming you got a ride??
Keep me posted.

[KaptainKirk]

Didn't get a ride, just listening to that horn motor in the driveway.
Then winterized her and put her away.
NO STEREO! Told Sara to buy a nice walkman and 2 sets of head phones and we are set.
Can't wait to bring her your way!
Sara says hi!!
Asks how the two of you are doing all the time.
Thanks for the congrats.
Later....

I know you been waiting a long time, I am happy for ya. Tell then to hurry it ain't that cold here yet you couldn't get it wet a few times.

Rick

[Instigator]

With Gohr power that thing will be a freakin monster!!
Not sure what Whitey was running for power (2.5 inj is all I know) but I think he was running around 106???
And yeah, a Walkman I believe that!!
You could just set a big ass home stereo on the bank with a generator for power and have really long speaker cables ;)
Tell Sara, Hey!
And I agree with Rick, If the water ain't hard, the season aint over!!

[Sleekster]

Go ahead and raise the bar so much higher I'll now have to rent a plane to get close to it.

The next Rumble will be a bit different now! If we hook-up a tow-line and....

Ah, I'm happy for you. I guess your hearing will improve now.

Any pictures yet?

[vishus]

Congrats KK!!

I replaced the impeller and housing on mine (trashed), and should have her out sometime this week. AZ is still hot (90s), Saturday is the IHBA finals, may take the RIOT out to the lake in the morning, and watch the drags in the afternoon!!!


Congrats again,

sid

Kaptain

Call me and I can do any type of lettering you want I have all the Rapid Craft logos on file in my computer system and all the plotters I need to cut whatever you want............Uncle Tony

[KaptainKirk]

U.T. I will call ya tonight.

Slowster.....I mean Sleekster, yes it is alot quieter..gonna miss that OMC growl but haven't heard this one yet but on the muffs.
And of course with no stereo that should help my hearing!
Hopefully the guy that bought mine will come to one of next years events so I can hear it again(and from outside the boat).
Vishus I am still jealous now even more you get to use yours!
Keep it right side up!!!

Rick wish I could, have to work on the family boats the next 2 weekends then its off to Texas for vacation.
Later.....

[thumper]

Gone over to the darkside, eh?
Well, I suppose congrats in the upgrade are in order but you-n-me are gonna need to take a trip out behind the woodshed for an attitude adjustment this spring methinks.
Darkside, can't believe it....................
Hee Hee

[Balzy]

Looks like you may have to change your signature to something like:

:D thumper,The only Amigo left running an OMC! :eek:,
:D The only Amigo slow enough to run with less tha 2 lbs. of fuel pressure ! :eek:

[Michael Martin]

I'll run my 'Rude until I can't buy parts...uh well 'er unless till someone donates a 2.5 block. (hint, hint)

Mike

[Laker]

Thumper... Gonna take a head shot like That?

[KaptainKirk]

Can't forget old fast I mean ssssslllllloooooOMC friends.
I'll just get out in front of Baldy and slow him down and you can blast on by for the win!

Thank you Mike, now with LOTS of seat time maybe I can see ya longer than I did in the past! I didn't forget your info just can't find dafreak, he has disappeared?

Hey laker, friend of mine has same boat...but its red and redone very light. Used to be a single seater right from stream but he switched it to two seats. Its for sale right now.

U.T. thank you for the conversation last night lots of food for thought!

[B.Leonard]

...she ain't gonna take it much longer!! hehehe That's what you'll be saying now. :D

So much for jump'n in, crank the tunes and driving WOT to the next county, turn around and drive WOT back!

I'll miss the Gohrude. :(

Slowster is going to have enough trouble dealing with one wild Walleye boat at the next Rumble! LOL! :D

-BL

[HAZMATT]

Good job on the new boat hope its fast.now you wont have run in the back.Im supposed to be getting a 2.4 from RP next week hopefully in time to run that river with Balzy and NPK if they will let me tag along.With that 2.4 i should have a boat comparible to you all.

[Balzy]

We might be playing hooky Friday afternoon and going again on Saturday. If you end up going or meeting RP, bring my CLE back with ya. I would really like to get it back on this fall yet. I am sick of blowouts this year !!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

[HAZMATT]

Me and T-Man are trying to get hi to come here.Would be happy to grab it for you just remind him to bring it with when we meet him.:D

[Cp]

BLOWOUT? What unit you runnin' on dat HST that's blowin' out? and what's dat HST do when it blows out? Anything? Maybe go faster? ;)
Heard you wus runnin' tha river this weekend? Me too. You comin' over to run the Old Lady? Cp

KK - Congrats on the new rig!!! Did this wind up being the Black/White/MercColors one you sent me a shot of a while back?

[Balzy]

JC's 200 case I got from RP. It's just not enough casre to carry that pig of a HST. MY Bob's coned SLE runs great though. RP still has it from the propshaft breaking syndrome though.:(

That is cool to see someone getting nice, awesome boat's. My wife told me that to get a ROIT, the rest goe's, have to think how to go into the state's and get one without her knowing about it and then maybe I can keep them all!!!!!!:D :D :D

THIS IS WHERE MY RIOT WILL BE.. HOPFULLY!!!!!!!:D

[ModVPinND]

According to the beginning of the thread...........the Riot is tucked away in the pole barn. Why is that. There are still some perfect runnin' days left. Cool air, light winds and NO one on the water. What more could you ask for............Starfleet Command to Kaptain Kirk.......give in to temptation for a couple hours this weekend.........I'm gonna.

[NPK2003]

KK!
I figured Balzy, Thumper,Pierceu99 and I could shoot pictures of us on the river this weekend and donate the CD profits to buy ya a stereo with a couple of 600 watt sub-woofers to stick up in your sponsons. Otherwise, we’d have to name that boat “Quiet Riot”. But then, who’s going to want a photo CD with Thumpers motor in it?

T-man! You bet KK went over to the Darkside! AKA, The Mercside! That’s why they paint them BLACK, don’t ya know? I mean, what would the hot boat public think if Merc painted their motors Powder Blue with White Lace graphics on the cowls? Heck, people would think the “SS” sticker on the 15” motors means “Super Sissy!” (LOL Amigo). With a booming Stero, KK could play the song>> ”I see a Johnrude and I want to paint it black….” when he blows past you!

Nick~K (My Euro is Hotter than Thumpers Bar-B-Q ribs)

[Balzy]

“Quiet Riot” That fits. Not the motor or what I know the boat will do. Just the stereo part. I like the idea of the sub-woofers stuck up in your sponsons. I think we should jam a bunch of amps and a 300' coil of #4 speaker wire up there too. That way you can streatch em out and set em on the beach. Not to mention slowing you down enough that the HST's can keep up to ya !!!!!!! You're gonna kick our asses bad next summer, KK !!!!!!!:( But still not as bad as your gonna kick Humpty Dumpty's ugly 'ol twothirstyfive ass.:eek: You should'a left her out for a bit yet. We are playing hooky Friday afternoon. Ya could of come along and started your break-in. That way we coulda handed ya your ass for now anyway. :eek: :p ;)

[KaptainKirk]

Even with tunes If I putem in I be tearinitup!
By the way what class does this put me in at Kosh?
Supersport?
Got to much to do at both Marinas, to come out and play!
Gonna pull her outa the barn sat. for pictures for insurance and for this years xmas cards.
And sit in the seat and make lots of noises like I'm boating.
Oh and Pappa Kapppy is coming to see it for the first time Sat.
I think he's not happy with the 2.5 deal I think he said "now you can get in real trouble".
He thinks I will be going through motors like Steve.
I hope not!
By the way Baldy I have a new prop!
Something you been looking for from Sam.....ahhahahhahahaha
Still has teflon on it.
Next time ask Gohr for a prop.
Now I need a prop for Kosh....Damn now I sound like Sebastion.
later....

[thumper]

You can beat up on my boat (with words at least :p ), you can beat my kid and you can even beat my dog if I had one!
But when you starts beatin' up on my Ribs it's rumble time.
You guys keep me away from the cottage until 8pm then tell me, waaaaaahhhh, I'm hungry, feed me and expect the ribs to be as good as I am good lookin'? A word of warning Nick, neither Balzy or I knew if you could tolerate hot food so I took it easy on ya. Next time they'll be the way I like 'em. So hot your great grandfather will start smokin' from da heat!!
thumper said dat!!!!!

[Scott Gilmore]

KK , congrats on the new rig, sounds nice. Now you can be just like my HERO uncle tony !! :eek: :eek: Scott

[John Dorn]

Triad around for sound.

[KaptainKirk]

I plan on being right next to ya!!
That is til Sebastion throws up that tail.
Then its everyboat for themselves!
Later....

[NPK2003]

T-Man. You're ribs are delicious, even if they are just slightly mild in the spice'in department. I truly appreciate you taking it easy on me, but we know the real reason is because Steve'y boy has hemmoroids from pulling all those powerheads off. You is such a carring man, that I bet the "T" of T-man meant "TENDER" ! heheheh. Hearing Steve crying in the $hitter at 5:00 AM the next morning even made me have a moment of T-man-ness. But when Balzy's HST finally beat Steve's, I knew it was because of all the aero dynamic drag from Steve sitting four inches higher in that center seat.

Please forgive me because if my Merc powered machine developes another dead battery, I will need the almighty two-thirsty-five to haul me in again. BTW: I've seen nitrous oxide set-ups but when I saw your plugs that kept the 2-thirsty running, I didn't want to ask you how to inject aluminium oxide into the fuel supply. :confused: Gotta admit the E-motor is way durable!

See ya on the River tomorrow Amigo!:cool: :p :D :

[halveb]

I don't know about everybody getting faster boats. I jsut bought my HST last summer and was slower than most to begin with. If this keeps up I'm gonna have to buy a bigger motor or move where they only have row boats (Hmmmm..... sounds like Eagle River). Sorry Nick I couldn't resist.

T-Man, Balzy and Anderdenter may be the three amigos but Mim and I are the rib boys. Need to get a boating camping weekend together with hot boats, sandbars, and ribs. Balzy will have to trail along a compressor and generator to run all his cleaning equipment as the boats won't see a trailer and clean water all weekend but I think it needs to be done.

How about it KK??? Don't make that Riot so pretty you won't use it.

:D

[KaptainKirk]

Tell me when and where!!!
Give me a little notice for my better half!
And I am there!!
Plan on runnin the hell outa my boat this coming year!
Will be to Ohio for da rumble and Kosh and firewater and heard about Jasper so going there too!
Nick's Regatta to, and anything else you guys throw at me!
Just remember to include me and I will try my best to get there!
later....K.K.
OH yeah gotta make it by florida boy this next year also!

[Blown509Liberator]

[halveb]

Yeah Mike I'm still alive but didn't get as much boating in as I would have liked. Seems like no matter what kind of boat I get I have major motor problems.

Went through three motors on my HST. Actually the third motor is still on it and running fine when I shut her down for the season. Will have to spend some time figuring out how to get her faster next year. The new motor didn't run as quick as my other one (best speed last summer on GPS was 88.7mph). Boat is now topping out at about 80mph, not good.

Jetboat is still in pieces but the block has been honed and the heads should be back from the motor builder before winter. Gonna bag the motor and put her back together next spring. I was all set to show up on the Mississippi last August as a surprise but I had motor problems right before it, damn!!!

I can't even keep one running when I own two. How is the Liberator running?

KK Thumper and I go camping every Memorial Day weekend on the Petenwell Flowage which is probably three hours north of the border. It usually rains and is ****ty out but we are apparently too stupid to quit going. If you are interested let me know and as the snow melts we can make some plans. That goes for any other cheesehead, mud ducks (MN), or flatlanders in the area who would like to tag along.

[KaptainKirk]

in Naperville, Dock in Lake Barrington on the Fox River.
At Port Barrington half way between the Stratton lock and Dam and the Algonquin Dam.
Have to get together in the spring!!!!
The marina I am at is 5 minutes from 59 and route 12.
If ya know the area well right off of River road 1/2 mile south of Roberts Road.
Damn weather sure is nice today and lookin good for the weekend!
Pulling my boat outa the Barn in lake barrington tomorrow afternoon for pictures, sure wish I was boating.
Later....K.K.
