PAUL,

I was hoping to see your RR the most....I love that boat and I am happy you have it now.

Get it ready so I can see it and I extend the invitaion on the props for you too

[nelsoncat]

Jeese Paul,
It took me all winter and half the summer to do what you have got left. Good luck!!!!!! Half B are you going up wed night? Did you get a room?

Craig

[halveb]

I will be there Wednesday night and didn't get a room so I'm not sure what I am gonna do (might just sleep in the truck or Thumper's van). I do want to do the Merc Verado tour and I still haven't gotten my lower unit connected. Nobody local has the necessary hardware and I am running out of time and I have to mow the lawn, put the boat seats back in, install new fire extinguisher, maybe clean the boat (looking doubtful on that though), drop of car at dealer for service and pack my crap and leave by tomorrow night. :)

I was hoping Anthony would be at the hotel Wednesday night as that is the most logical jam time but it looks like that won't happen. :( Anthony, it looks like a jam after the prop testing Thursday or poker run Friday might be in order. Actually they are calling for rain on Thursday so maybe Friday.

[AnthonySS]

Bob...I am open to any place available....I have long extension cords so we can even do it in a parking lot:D

Anyway get all that stuff done and lets rock:)

[skydog]

Me and a friend? I was thinking of sleeping in the Blazer. We will be there Friday early.

Skydog:D

[nelsoncat]

Bob, What do you need for LU hardware? Did you get a tether? I have an extra if you need one. I can help put your LU on thurs morning if you need help, let me know what you need I may have parts!

Craig

[lhovan49]

Well, I guess I can throw my .02 in bring my 96 RR I feel bad cause it is all together:rolleyes: this time, :D :D See Ya there

[ProComp]

Hope everyone has a great time at BTTW. Wish this STV was gonna be there but it just didn't work out. Have fun.

[PaulR]

After two 14hr days at work over the weekend and being up Monday until 2am working on the boat I find myself just looking at it....I'm beat. I'll bust my ass tomorrow on the boat!

I got a little done...

[PaulR]

motors on!

[ProComp]

Hey, I hope your loosing the skirt and running that cowl thats on the fridge! :D

ProComp

[PaulR]

when I picked it up today

Good thing I had extra decals made...that one's on backwards!

[nelsoncat]

boy can I relate to the just looking at it comment. Sometimes I get so burnt out that when I head to my shop all I can manage to accomplish is downing a Mountian Dew and head in to bed!!!!!!
Especially when it comes to drilling holes in the hull for something; I am so afraid of screwing something up!!!!!!!

Motor runs and pees so looks like I'm in!!!!
Craig

[AnthonySS]

...QSHOT....

If I would have bought that boat it was also going to loose the green....nice work:)

I would have went with Either Yellow or white...however I like the subtleness of the blue you chose....can't wait to see you "In=it"

HEADING OUT in the AM...say a prayer for us THANKS
