'Rondak Romp '02

[Liqui-Fly]

June 20th to the 24th in Mayfield / Northville, NY. More to follow in coming weeks. I'm trying to line a couple of things up but I wanted everyone to have the opportunity to save the dates now.
David

[Tom D.]

I'll be writing that date down for sure! Hope to make it sounds like fun!:)

[Liqui-Fly]

You've got 5 days to choose from if not all. I would expect most guys to come Friday to Sunday afternoon but there will hopefully be a few that do the entire tour. Keep your eyes posted and feel free to call me anytime.

[woodco]

Forgot to ask about what we should bring food and beverage wise.Should we bring what we need and a little extra ???

[Liqui-Fly]

Last year my my first run at it and I learned that everyone seems to be pretty damn punctual. This year I plan to have a small arrival BBQ for everyone on Friday afternoon at the campsights which I will provide. Help on that would be great. There are a lot of stores and restaurants in the area so I don't think bringing a ton of stuff is necessary. I don't think I really ate all that much last year...maybe twice even though it rained all weekend. But I'm bringing atleast one large gas grill to the campsights that is open to everyone. Maybe you'll be able to run down in the spring to scope everything out for the event and maybe help me plan a couple more things.

David

[woodco]

I think that would be great a great idea.Whatever I can do to help
ya just let me know.How many days left till spring ?

Gotta be in the 60 day area right ?

[Liqui-Fly]

Yeeeeehaaaawwww. I'm getting nervous though. We had a really mild winter two years ago then it rained all summer. It's snowing right now and I think I'm grateful. Last summer was a beauty.

David

[woodco]

That spring and summer was the worst.We've only had about 4 inches of snow so far and the ice is breakin on the lake :p

Hey I love that prop...Friggin Wicked Hole Shots :eek:

[Liqui-Fly]

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.

THis one takes awhile but is a nice photo
http://131.94.133.202/terrafly-bin/tf/tf.cmd?streetAddress=&cityAndState=mayfield+ny++

[Liqui-Fly]

Vinnie the guys that have confirmed already have planned for Friday and Saturday night also. I myself am staying Thrusday until Monday so I figured I would extend it for prop testing ect. Let me know if you need anything. I've sent you a few e-amils did you change your addy?

Techno thanks for those links I tried but failed on the satellite photo.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

Man that sayis it all. Panning out got me fired up. It will be here befroe we know it!!
David

[woodco]

That satellite picture thing is really cool.

Hey Fly ...... Talked with my brother from NJ and he said he's
bringin his 18' Ally up too......

[Liqui-Fly]

I can spank him too. Sounds good. Make sure you guys get your camp sites...
LF

[Vinnie]

Lotso changes since last year. I have changed addresses and then changed back.

Would like to get there again this year..

Vinnie

bullet@stlawrfcu.net

[BajaSS235]

You can count the baja cutie and myself in !!
every event needs at least 1 slow boat
:D

let us know if theres anything we can help with

Dwayne

[Liqui-Fly]

I had the slowest boat last year but did a motor upgrade this year so hopefully I'll move up to second slowest. Looking foward to meeting you guys. The group that came last year was awsome.
David

[Techno]

I had the slowest boat. My boating consists of short burst of engine power followed by long bouts with paddle power and getting towed.

[Liqui-Fly]

Your boat was the slowest but in theory I think you had me. Well what is it going to be this year. Everyone is being awful quite....I'd hate to order "the juice" for nothing hehe.
David

[Liqui-Fly]

Her's My List So Far:
21" 4-blade clever 15" diameter
24" Virgin Chopper II
26" Cut and thinned chopper
26" 4 -blade Chopper
28" Mazco RE-3

Hoping to have an ET or Yammi by then too.

Haven't contacted Hydromotive to sure anything up yet. Will by the end of March.

David

[2.5-21]

if i come up there i will have to make some changes cause i know salt water is more bouyant than fresh . how many boats do you expect to show up? will there be any from long island or south? are there going to be official drag races or just grudge runs? how big is the lake? :D

[Liqui-Fly]

I don't know about any grudge matches but then again everyone is being awful quiet about their rigs this year. No drags just lots of running and hanging out on a gorgeous big lake. Scope out the Great Sacandaga Lake on www.mapquest.com. It's Got islands and a long gorgeous run up to the Conklinville damn. I'm hoping for 25 to 30 boats on Saturday but figure there will be a solid 10 to 15 the rest of the time. It rained all last year and the turn out was pretty good. Did you see the pics at www.hydrostream.org under events?

David

[Liqui-Fly]

Some guys from Lond Island will get a group together and come up. It's an unbelievable place to boat.
David

[RONNIE]

I guess I'll have to come up and play as long as you don't mind eating my rooster tail again. Sorry.

RONNIE

[RONNIE]

I guess I'll have to come up and play as long as you don't mind eating my rooster tail again. Sorry.

RONNIE

[Liqui-Fly]

Bring it on up I'd like to return the favor.....I've got a little more HP now...so I should be doing 65 hehe. The lake is awsome you should definitely try to make it.
David

[Liqui-Fly]

Just spoke with Hydromotive and they're really looking forward to coming out to the Rondak Romp. They have a hot new line of outboard props that are beating the ET's and handling like a dream. He said keep an eye out for a test in Bass and Walleye on an Allison.....4-blade overhub 4 mph faster than a Merc ET.
visit: www.hydromotive.com
David

[woodco]

Bout time someone learns how them Stream's like to run :D

Make sure you show with that bad boy ;)

Fly, Keep that prop polished for me :D Tryin to get out yur way in a week or 2 ..... Keep in touch

Joe

[2.5-21]

GOTTA SEE THAT WHEN WILL IT BE OUT?

[Liqui-Fly]

But I got bad news for you. He said it doesn't run as well on larger hulls. He recommend the Quad 4 o/t for bigger hulls. He's has a 26" he worked that he's going to send me when the ice breaks. But the prop is out now if you want to give Todd a call.

David

[Vinnie]

I'll take one if they refund your money when you gain only 1 mph!!

:-))

[woodco]

Ya keepin that Chopper waxed for me..........:p

[Liqui-Fly]

No good on the Bullets...well not as good. Probably worth a try though.
David

[Liqui-Fly]

She was cleaned and put away a month or two ago after I got done weldin' on her hehe. I'm just joking.
David

[woodco]

I'm still tryin to get out that way ta see ya.... How's the boat comin along ???? Weather is startin to break ice is gone no
excuses now :D

[Liqui-Fly]

I've got all the parts and a plan but have not touched it yet. I keep changing my mind on things. I beter get goinbg though cause I have a few things to fabricate and I won't really know what I need until the motor is bolted on. This weekend I'll start. Yeeehawwww. 29 days until spring.
David

[Jeff "Yammer"]

I wouldn't mind coming at all . Sounds like fun . Post as many details as possible for spots to stay , dock , play , ,etc....etc !! Could bring (possibly) a couple of us Canadian hot boaters down .
Jeff

Whitby . Ontario . Canada :D

[Liqui-Fly]

Check out the link on the forst page of this post. It should cover pretty much everything.

[woodco]

really like to see that Stream in person........ She looks really
nice in the pic's.........

Hey Fly ya hear the weather forecast " 50's " Monday possible
Blizzard on Tuesday..... Go figure :rolleyes:

[PhastBoat]

Me (Activator22 w/ 2.4) and Mr. Clean (boat to be disclosed at a later date), are reserved for site 209. Will be getting there on thursday. Any other LIers going up on thurs? Let us know.
Sounds like fun. If we can help out in any way please let me Know.

[Liqui-Fly]

Next Door neighbor. You guys are going to like 209. You can tie up right in front of the site in a nice protected cove. If anyone has ideas please foward them. The only things I'm planning is a Saturday evening banquet at the Sport Island pub (accessible by boat) and a damn run Sunday morning.

David

[woodco]

Is that like a " Black Tie Event " :D

Fly ... What's the countdown to Spring at ?????????

[Liqui-Fly]

23 days until spring. Banquet might be the wrong word. Sport Island pub has a nice room upstairs (waterfront) that I'm going to line up. Forn chow I'm gonna need input on whether we want to do an al la carte thing or buffet or eat if ya want to or drink beer instead so that's what I'll need input on. I'm thinking the simpler the better.
David

[woodco]

Jus keep it simple jus as long as they have good beer ie Labatt's
none of dat Coor's Light junk :D

Buffet style would work........

[PhastBoat]

Did i mention BEER!!!:D :D
Some teguilla wont hurt either.

[Liqui-Fly]

I'll get a list of what they usually whip up. And let you guys pick. Wings and beer. Man that says it all for me too.
David

[PhastBoat]

Oh that me flyin by !!!!



Yellow Activator22 :D ;)

[mr.clean]

alot of beer! a bag of doritos, and alot of beer. oh are there chicks or do i bring my own.

[Liqui-Fly]

You can find one for the whole weekend I'd hire her otherwise you'll have to troll for teenagers around the campsight hehe. A good percentage of the crew is married.
David

[mr.clean]

alot of beer,teenage girls,and a bag doritos. hmmm. i`d better bring my own girl.

[PhastBoat]

YOU KNOW YOUR JUST GOING TO BRING A TEENAGE GIRL ANYWAY:D :D :D

[Liqui-Fly]

He doesn't even know what boat he's bringing and he's worried about girls.
David

[woodco]

You guys are killin me :D :D :D

[mr.clean]

a man has to have his prioritys, bring the right girl and you don`t need a boat.

[PhastBoat]

You Better bring a boat!
And maybe an extra girl 4 me;)

[Liqui-Fly]

I am going to keep two but the rest must go. I'll give some great deals at the Romp or trade.

David

[woodco]

Which one's mine ????????

Nice collection ya got there ;)

[woodco]

Or should I say " Nice 6 - Pack " :D

[Liqui-Fly]

Would you believe it was the fastest of most of that group. DAH makes a bass ass Raker.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

Nice View

[Liqui-Fly]

Not a bad view right?

[woodco]

Now how bout a front view ..... That way I know it was you that
I jus peeled the gel coat off of :D

Don't worry I won't do it with the prop I'm gettin off ya ;)
That's not sportmanlike :D

[737jetmech]

:confused: Hey ;this sounds like a good time. I'am considering making the trip from maryland. Can I get a 35' motor home in any of these camp site's?Liqui-fly , Is this something that would be considered a family event ? I will call Northhampton beach campground to check on available sites if any tomorrow. Are you folks going to stay in tents or campers. I have a tent that is much easier to set up and gets better M.P.G. in the pick-up than the 5 m.p.g. the motor home gets... E-mail or post reply: Thanks Bob!!!

[737jetmech]

:D Well I reserved a site (208) ... Looking forward to meeting all!

[Liqui-Fly]

Very nice campsites....great for families and the web page for the sights will let you know what the sight accomodates. Last year I rented a pop-up from military recreation and plan on doing it again this year. I'll get picks of the sights when they open for everyone. Won't be long now!!
David

[PhastBoat]

We're neighbor (site 209) - We're coming from Long Island- What kinda Boat you bringin?:D

[PhastBoat]

:D

[Liqui-Fly]

Take her top off.
David

[PhastBoat]

Her top will be coming off!
And i might even take the cover off my motor too!;)

[stvhelm]

I'm considering dragin my butt up that way. whats the majority doing? tenting or campers? do you have the # for reservations? and is there a map of the grounds with the site #'s to choose from? thanks

[PhastBoat]

Check the first page of this thread. All the info is there.
We're Tenting.

[stvhelm]

ok I just reserved site 211. so far I will be bringing my wife and 7yr old son. I'm just wondering are we bringing family members or is this more just a guy thing?
thanks

[Liqui-Fly]

Last year there was a mixture of campers and those that chose motels. There are boat launches very close to all listed and docking available also. Any of the choices would be pretty good. David

[Liqui-Fly]

Definitely a nice place for family. Nice sandy beaches with life guards, islands, putt putt golf, and lots of water.
David

[Techno]

Heres my pop up camper. The length on this is over 40' and I had it in the campsite. There are -or it seemed- different sites also.

http://www.hydrostream.org/Events/Techno_small.jpg
There were sites open when I got there and I didn't reserve nuthin'- lucky?

If it wasn't posted heres the hydrostream link of the pics.
http://www.hydrostream.org/Events/RondakRomp.htm

[Liqui-Fly]

If you want a waterfront site it is best to book now. Hmmmm Techno maybe you used all your luck up getting a site without reservations.
David

[737jetmech]

Thanks for the reply gentlemen :) I'am planning on bringing the family to this one. Even if they don't want to go out in the boat it sounds like the wife and kid's 8yrs & 5yrs can find something to do.I'am going to bring a 21 Liberator w/2.5 offshore,nitrous oxide equipped :D

[Liqui-Fly]

I don't know if I have left my number.
Call Anytime
Work 518-387-6003
Home 518-762-1421

David

[woodco]

Anytime ?????? HMMMMMMMMM how bout 3 A.M. ????? :D

[737jetmech]

Is there going to be enough water at camp sites due to lack of rain.I saw a note that my site is only water front in the spring time???:confused:

[Liqui-Fly]

204 may be tight but anything about 205 was more than good last year. The lake starts dropping in August. Part of the reason I hold the rally in June. You'll be good to go. I'll send you pics in the spring before the rally.
David

[Liqui-Fly]

Very nice rig. What is she running?
David

[Liqui-Fly]

3 am is cool wid me. Dats what time you'll have ta get up for the damn run ta finish ahead of the Fly hehe. Two more wheels on the way. Can you say divorce?
David

[737jetmech]

:confused: 96 mph last year.I'am in process of installing n2o system from Hydro-dynamics they claim that their 130 hp kit will ad 10 to 15 mph.Will see???

[Liqui-Fly]

What are those solenoids for hehe squirt squirt.
David

[737jetmech]

Hey: David are you running a hydro stream ? I could not tell from the picture of the jack plate. From looking at the pic's last year (except the weather) looks like a good time.Very impressive ,Hydro-streams ,Stvs ,Skaters , ect... Oh My Gosh!!!:eek: Later Bob

[Liqui-Fly]

87 Stratos VT Ski. Last year was great. There should be more big blocks there too this year. Those gals don't like to come out in the rain hehe. I just got the 2.5 this fall and haven't run it yet. I feel good about the weather this year. It rained every single day last year so we are bound for sun.

David

[woodco]

Yep...... She don't know bout this one yet :eek: http://images.traderonline.com/images/pix/trucksnow/TN199804_1.jpg

[woodco]

Where's the BBQ Grill ?????????? :D

Ya gonna be home tonite I'll give ya a shout ;)

And if ya need anymore Ames carts I think we have a delivery
to one next week I'll have the driver sneek a couple for ya

[PhastBoat]

:D ;)

[Liqui-Fly]

Man that ain't me cart. Mines chrome hehe. Yeah I'll be home; give me a holler.
David

[woodco]

Forgot that I have a Dinner meeting tonite at 8 : 00 pm.... I'll
be back around 10 or so....... If I don't get ya I'll give ya a
shout tomorrow.........

[737jetmech]

:)Nice Rides: How about this 70 degree weather? I had to go out and work on the boat.To bad tomorrow will be winter again. :mad: Bob

[Liqui-Fly]

You wouldn't happen to have any scales would ya? If not what are your thoughts on getting some?
David

[woodco]

Thats an easy one .... Your talkin about the real portable
ones right ?

Let me work on it..... Let me know how many sets we need
probably one will do but a backup would be nice.....;)

[Liqui-Fly]

What about tandem axel trailers? Can you work those on one set? What is the base size typically on the portables?
David

[woodco]

They are usually 2' x 2' just enough to get a set of duals on a big truck on.So ya do wheel by wheel axle by axle to get yur weight.

It's simple ;)

And there light so anyone ( like the DOT :( ) can have them
in a car trunk.............http://www.truck-insurance-mart.com/smokin3.gif

[Techno]

woodco are you using that truck to pull your boat with? like that chong movie - HUGE truck and tiny little trailer.
I see you already have a camper!

[woodco]

Yes and No...... I can only trailer the smaller boats in the 48'
enclosed car trailer.The big boat won't make the height and
width.

The nice thing about the camper it has Satellite TV and Sony
Play Station :D

[737jetmech]

:confused: Is this going to be a outboard gathering? I know you said that some Big Block guys may show up. There is some interest from some V-drive and Jet-drive guys that may consider the trip... Later Bob

[Liqui-Fly]

This definitely is not an outboard gathering only. All are welcome.
David

[Liqui-Fly]

Little dry with ideas guys.
So far:
1. Beer and chicken wings
2. Prop swap
3. Scales - Woodco any word?

I took some pics of the lake Saturday but haven't beeen home since then. The ice is melting and the level is rising.

David

[737jetmech]

Been very quiet here lately . Bob

[woodco]

Yeh let's give this thread some life again......

Scales are available ......... What about Clams ?????????

Cherrystones...............;)

Hey Fly ........ Been seein alot of props sellin on here lately

That wouldn't be you would it ???????? :D

[Liqui-Fly]

The Spinelli is the last. Here are some pics from the North end of the lake last week.

[Liqui-Fly]

From home I'll do it tomorrow. The rain has been good and I'm almost put together.
David

[Liqui-Fly]

From acouple weeks ago

[Liqui-Fly]

#2

[Liqui-Fly]

#3

[Techno]

If you can see the other shore then the lake is too small!

[Liqui-Fly]

You should be happy...you'll always know where you're paddling to.
David

[737jetmech]

How low is the lake in these pictures? Is that an ice berg in the middle or rocks? We have had a lot of rain in the past couple weeks but still below normal here in Maryland. Later Bob

[Liqui-Fly]

They drop the lake level extremely low here in the winter but they put the cork in early so she's filling fast especially over the last few days. Those pics are from two weeks ago. We're in good shape. I'm hoping to be in the second week of April.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

Lake is 2 ft above average and the ice is gone. Won't be long now.
David

[woodco]

YeeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Liqui-Fly]

Must be everyone is busy working on their rigs. I wonder if that is a good sign or a bad sign. I'm so ready I'm working on other people's boats hehe. Got a 27 Spinelli DR-4 yesterday....wonder how it will run?

David

[Techno]

Well- warm weather just arrived. Ran out of epoxy filler for my cowl and the store was closed yesterday.
Checked a rough price for paint and don't like it.

You might have to set the date back. June the paint might not be dry yet.

Keep forgettting I have to order seat cloth and little junk like that.

[Liqui-Fly]

You let seat cloth keep you from running? My seats are torn to shreds in my garage but the shell is there and I think I have a boat cushion lying around somewhere. No excuses. I've already (just about) rigged two boats this winter.

David

[woodco]

Dat's the name of my new ride " No Excuses ". Fly almost
didn't think I was gonna make it due to my cuz's weddin .
But it will work out great :D

Did ya ever figure out the food thing ????? And what ya want
us to bring ??????

[Tom D.]

Liqui-Fly (David),
If I can help out give a yell.;)

[Liqui-Fly]

It seems like most will be arriving Friday afternoon but it is too soon to really grab numbers. I'd like to BBQ just some burgers and whatever on Friday for lunch. I could use some help with that but can't think of anything specifically. I'll grab the chow and am going to bring a good sized grill. As for the Pub on Saturday we don't need that much notice. Again a better situation with definite numbers. I need to get oput on the lake and see some of the locals to and see if they're going to join us.

Check_Mate we have to get together before the Romp. Are you almost ready to go in?

David

[Tom D.]

David,
I should be ready in 3 or 4 weeks. I don't have to much to do on the boat but I'm in the middle of a couple of honey do's right now that are slowing me down a little.:rolleyes:

[Liqui-Fly]

Not only is it warm but it's raining good too. Lake is up and I should be able to get into the sites this weekend. What #'s did you guys reserve? I'll get some pics.
David

[PhastBoat]

:p

[737jetmech]

Got out in the boat tuesday. It's great to be back on the water!!!

[JSB5776]

Hey guys... So what actually goes on at this "romp"??? do you guys race at all or just kinda rip around and have fun for the weekend??? I used to spend every summer in Sacandaga... It can get really really rough in the "wide" end... But there sure is a lota room to run... If by any chance my current "pile of Checkmate and parts" is no longer a plie ... Id love to make it to my first meet...

[Liqui-Fly]

We just run all over and hang out. Camp or stay in motels. It's a blast. Visit www.hydrostream.org and look under events to see pics from last year.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

The campsites were still locked up last weekend . If the weather is nice I'll get out there. I've spent the week gettting everything together to get the Fly in no later than Sunday if I have to stay up round the clock. Now all I have to do is decide which wheel to run on the maiden voyage.
David

[Tom D.]

Fly,
Picking up new pump tonight. As for what wheel you should start with. Start small and work your way up. Build the anticipation to a peak!:D

[Liqui-Fly]

Like the little wheel idea.....Was considering my 4-blade chopper. Ususally pretty slow but neutral lift and handles great. What kind of pump are you picking up?....water? Ohh boy gearcase fun.
David

[Liqui-Fly]

More wonderful upstate weather.....good...getting it out of its system now.

[Liqui-Fly]

Water level is above average and we're looking good. Come on Sun!!

[Techno]

Even if I don't finish on time it might be worth going for a new prop. That is if there is any money left!

I think this is going to be a strange summer- weather wise.

[Liqui-Fly]

Mrs. and I went out for a ride today. Very windy but took a trip to the sites. Post some pics now and the rest tomorrow.

[Liqui-Fly]

Ahhh Lake Front

[Liqui-Fly]

Well I don't know if it's a bay. It's how you access our site locations by water

[Liqui-Fly]

Two sides and parking lot. The water is pretty high.

[Liqui-Fly]

Nice wind chop.....:eek:

[PhastBoat]

is smooth as a cat ass.:eek: :eek:

[Liqui-Fly]

Forgot to download 209.....but it is right next door and basically the same.

[Liqui-Fly]

The entrance to a calm speed chute and the North West portion of the lake.

[mr.clean]

can`t wait for you to see the back of my boat:eek: :eek: :D

[Liqui-Fly]

The only question is what shall I do? I guess it might as well get balanced and a new ECU. Will I be able to break it in on time??? That's the only question.
David

[woodco]

Maybe that's why it was goin " Klunk " :eek:

[Techno]

Whats wrong with it?

10 hours to break in - should take 10 days or so of patience wracking cruising.

[RONNIE]

We have site 210. Just don't know what boat I'm bringin what should we bring the Viper or the Vegas. Viper runs and is complete vegas still needs work to make an apperance.

[Liqui-Fly]

This is a used motor. Time to rebuild I guess. Ronnie I'd bring the Vegas. The water can get churned up here...not that it bothers you hehe.....but I think you'd be happier with it.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

Well if we keep getting rain like this we'll be able to drive all over upstate NY. The lake is wicked topped off.

I still have some work left to do as far as getting my interior finished...motor should be done next week and I'll be ready to go at it again. How about a head count...local guys too...I know you're there.....

David

[Techno]

You said it all with rain . Can't do anything yet and have to wait for warm nights for painting still.
Bought the paint though!

[Liqui-Fly]

One month to the Rondak Romp. I repeat one month to the Rondak Romp.

David

[PhastBoat]

9 hours breakin! Already put one:D
I think ill make it;)

[Techno]

With this lousy start to the "summer" I doubt I'm going to be finished. My primer will take 5 days to cure and thats hull and deck- 10 days. With all I have to do I certainly would be shocked if I got my lazy butt moving fast enough to finish it all by then.

Finish the crack repair, Fill all holes in boat, flip, fix outside of crack. prime,sand- paint paint paint paint & clear. ( doing trailer at same time) Flip, prime, sand NIGHT MARE! Do the upper part of painting and interior and cowl and alluminum.
Paints finished
Re-rigg

7 hours break in.
This is the short list!And before I hear it again I need warm weather at night for both the epoxy work and painting to cure.

All this week- "get your boat in the water yet"?
My answer " since its raining out I guess it is in the water!

[eautosales]

how far is that from johnstown?
iam in ilion/herkimer
if the hydrostream is done i will be there!


i am a rookie on this boat rigging stuff:D

[Techno]

Use the first to find driving directions, the 2nd just for the location.

Call anyhime.

Tecno they run faster in primer!!

David

[Techno]

I still have the external crack to fix.
It all comes down to if the boat is runnable even if its not finished. Although that means almost the same for me. If its runnable it should be finished.

[Liqui-Fly]

Picking it up Thursady and should be all nice and broken in by the Romp so I'll keep my promise on all the spankins':D . I wonder if the single turbo will be enough?

David

[Warren Elliott]

Fly last night I pulled the cover off your 2.5 at Russ's and sprinkled some magic dust on it. If you need your gps to read three number's my pro max will be at the romp on friday at noon.:o

[Liqui-Fly]

But they say elevation can make you light in the head. We've been getting a lot of rain lately so I think statistically we are guaranteed one sunny dy this year....bring your little wheels. I have a Hoss you might want to try.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

Who's running 110+.

[Tom D.]

Dave,
Sweet boat your brother has there.:cool: I got site 201 right across the street from you. See you the 20th.
Check out

[Liqui-Fly]

Put the powerhead back on Sat. and ran for a couple of hours yesterday. Russ Johnson in CT did a great job on her. She came back super clean and ready to run. Haven't run her up over 5400 yet but hope to run her up a bit tonight if the wife will let me out.

Supposed to rain all week which is good cause we want some sun for the Romp this year. 2 weeks boys get'er dun!!

David

[PhastBoat]

Think i chased all the gremlins away. Few more hours of break-in and we'll see what she's got. I'll be up on Thurs. Any idea how long from NYC area? Probably leave in the AM.:)

[mr.clean]

looks good next to my ride.:D :D :D :D :D

[Liqui-Fly]

I would expect 3 to 3.5 hours...maybe 4 if you have a weak bladder. We should be soaking up the sun and burning gas by 1 or 2. Man I can't wait!!

David

[woodco]

Let's keep our fingers crossed !!!!!!!!! :cool:

[Liqui-Fly]

What you're bringing:mad:

David

[woodco]

:cool:

[Liqui-Fly]

Hmm doesn't seem like your style. Yeah one of those 175's with a different tuner and carbs I suppose?

David

[woodco]

Most likely that Mariner won't be on the back for the Romp !!!!

Thinkin either the 2.5 or the 235 OMC :cool:

[Liqui-Fly]

It's next week JOE!! You need to let me know so I know if I have to order the laughing gas or not hehe. If you're rigging the OMC I'll pull a couple plug wires hehe.

David

[woodco]

Yur funny !!!!! :D I'd rather run a Merc so I don't Spank yo Ass
that bad !!!! Hehehehehe :cool:

[Liqui-Fly]

You'd probably beat me with the Mariner but that's ok...after being the slowest there last year I have something to look foward to....I hope!!

David

[woodco]

;)

[RONNIE]

Hey liqui fly you can ride with me while I show woody what fast is.I'm bringin the little viper.

[PhastBoat]

when you leaving LI.
Im leaving from Merrick Thurs Morning

[woodco]

Now I'm gonna bring the lil Ally !!!!!!!! :D

Yur gonna need at least 115 to stay even ;)

That's if the water conditions are nice

[woodco]

:D

[Liqui-Fly]

How about I just take the pictures Ronnie??:eek: Woodco the water doesn't matter much to the Viper. The only way I can describe it is by getting you to think about a skipping rock. Very fast and bouncy but straight.

115mph :eek: :eek: :eek: Must have rigged that Ally with a Merc.

David

[woodco]

I like 1 ft chop but when ya start playin around on 2 + it
can really get scary .

Beats the crap out of the boat too !!!!

Sounds like where gonna have a great time ;) I talked to one
of my buds last nite and I think he's gonna bring his Ski Ray
so if anyone wants to ski or wakeboard we'll have him to pull us.

[Liqui-Fly]

The fly has a pylon too but the top half of the ring snapped off. Sweet dicast stuff but since the motor is still fresh I don't think I'll tow anything. Woody we'll always be able to find some calm water for the most part...getting there can be difficult though. The best thing is to get up with the roosters and run like hell in the am and then later in the day. I hope the lake drops some more so we can go to sand island atleast one day. The rain won't drain...but there are limited dangers when the water is high...even Weekend Wally is safe hehe.

I should bring the Warbird.....:D

David

[woodco]

I know what ya mean about gettin there though . Sometimes it can be an adventure :D

Hows the boat traffic there on weekends ????

Should I bring the Paintball Gun ? LOL :p

[Liqui-Fly]

I set the rally so early in the summer because traffic is minimal up until school gets out. If it's a super nice weekend then there might be some heavy traffic on Sat. and Sun. but noone gets out there until noon and then they go park until 5 and then go home. Typical NYS lake traffic.

David

[woodco]

Any Bassboaters out there to run against ??? We get alot here
in the early a.m.

[Liqui-Fly]

He's one of us though and you better pack a lunch.

[Liqui-Fly]

Here it is boys...most are for sale at the Romp. Good prices and payment options if anyone runs something they really like. Trades also.

26" Hoss Hyperdrive, 26" clipped chopper II, 24" Chopper II, 26" 4-blade chopper style by Propco, 25" Trophy 4 blade (trading Woodco for 21"), 24" and 26" Hydromotive semi clever through hubs, 23" Laser II, 26" Raker by DAH that Woodco has a claim on (wicked fast), 21" 4 blade cleaver, and a low pitch (yet to be determined, Russ is beating on it now) inline chopper. I may have forgotten one but I think that's it.

David

[woodco]

LOL !!!!! Is that yur old mota ? I'm gonna try and bring as many
props as I can for anyone testing and buying .

[Liqui-Fly]

That's a Bullet with a 280 short shaft.

David

[woodco]

It looked to fast to be one of yur boats :D Hehehehehe

Is he goin to the Romp ????

[Vinnie]

Gentlemen,

Please check out my post in the tech discussion section regarding sportmasters.. Gotta make a decision by tomorrow to get my regular gearcase back..

Thanks

Vinnie

[Liqui-Fly]

Look at the future cast. Did we deserve this or what; especially after the Raindak Romp last year. Yeeeehawwww.

[Liqui-Fly]

Get Up In The Morning every day!!

Friday After Noonish burgers and what not at site 207.

Saturday 5 o'clock at the Sport Island pub. Did not get much response on a banquet style dinner so I have reservations for around 25 to 30 I told him for 5. Comedy show Saturday night. Three comedians..12 bucks a ticket. I'm thinking about it. Then perhaps a nice night ride if the stars are out.

Sunday early morning damn run. Be sure to fuel up Saturday night or the crack of dawn Sunday morning. Some guys need to check out and be on the road Sunday afternoon.

David

[Charlie M]

What is the actuall address wher the Romp will take place? I wont be able to have my HST ready for this but can bring my vector. I might have to hang a "black thang" on it as thats the only 20" performance motor ready to go that I have right now.
I'll only bring the vector if you guys promice not to laugh at its roughness. Who's gonna be their

Charlie

[Liqui-Fly]

Charlie the campsites and motels are in Northville, NY off of Rt 30. Scope out www.mapquest.com and you'll get door to door directions. Mosy veryone will arrive on Friday but some of us will be there Thursday. Great bunch of guys coming. Check out this page from last year.

http://www.hydrostream.org/Events/RondakRomp.htm

David

[Charlie M]

Pulling the stream into the garage right now and getting a motta on it. I'll be their.

Will their be rooms available or will I have to make reservations?

[Liqui-Fly]

Did you see the link from the Flip Inn and the Inn at the Bridge? Both are nice places with good rates. If you want to camp there are a few sites still available on the strip most of us are on.

David

[Liqui-Fly]

To tell everyone you brought one of those black things on back!!

David

[Liqui-Fly]

[Liqui-Fly]

24 Chopper need lots of trim

[Liqui-Fly]

Considering

[Charlie M]

You guys are just inviting me up their to embarrass me. Looks like I will have to spend an extra LATE night gathering parts to throw together a mota. I got the boat painted over the weekend and I am ready to rig. Look out I'm heading there. Charlie

[Liqui-Fly]

I was hoping for more bites but here it is...my GPS was in this boat first

[LaserModVee]

106!!!!!!!!!!

That's like 9250 rpm with a 1.86!!!!!

Damn, what's the scoop on that Liqui???

[Liqui-Fly]

I got my GPS back. Hopefully she'll be good to go for the romp. Hose came off the block and she got a dry pass or two and got very hot.

[LaserModVee]

I fell for it, you should've waited:rolleyes:

I should've known better. I though I sort-of knew your set-up, but 9250 rpm's, I had to hear what was up.

[Charlie M]

If I was going to do that I would have went overoard and put it on the seat in the vette and showed some dumb shi# like 160mph.
I was think about the RPM's, I came up with 9860 at 106 with a 24 pitch and a 1.86 lower (considering about 8% slip). But I kept my mouth shut.

[Liqui-Fly]

Is the American Offshore wasn't running all that hot....well actually too hot hehe.

Pic of Sport Island Pub. Saturday evening get together. I hope to boat there.

David

[Charlie M]

Are you guys just pitching tents and camping. How do I get ahold of youall to make some plans.

I'm looking forward to this. I have Delaware Rick down here right now and where working on the boats all day.

Charlie

[Liqui-Fly]

Charlie I'll give you a call right now.

David

[Charlie M]

302-284-9004 ask for Charlie

[Liqui-Fly]

After attending the Bullet and Allison rallies in the last few weeks they will not be able to make the Romp but there will be a brand new T4-x 26" and 28" available as well as a 26" Quad 4 O/T. The TX-4 has been blowing the competion away on Allisons and Streams in recent testing. Come talk to the Fly about trying one. For more info visit:

I am bring a whole extra motor incase I need any spare parts, never can tell and if I have a whole motor I know I will have anything that could possibly go wrong:D

[Tom D.]

[Liqui-Fly]

Just got in and would like to thank everyone for coming. I need some rest and have a list of things to do waiting for me. Have video and over 100 pictures. Man what a blast and the weather was much friendlier this year. By the way today is clear blue around 80 and there was just a light ripple across the entire lake but I was out of gas and dough hehe.

There is talk of another one later in the year so those of you who couldn't get put together have no fear.

Time for a Calmine lotion bath.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :o

David

[Vinnie]

[Tom D.]

David,
This was my first boat gathering of any kind and it was a BLAST!:D Great people, great boats, great fun, and of course great speeds! A little rain didn't dampn't any sprits. Even though I was last to the dam the Checkmate started coming on in the rougher water and I was able to keep up a little better. Boy there were some fast boats there. I'll try to post some pics.
