Every time I go by they are water testing boats. This day was an FSH and a black and green 210 or 250 (couldn’t tell). The FSH had some sort of issue as he stopped right after passing the island and adjusted something on the stern (cleanout plug?). As we passed he resumed the test route just behind us. The launching system, is a tractor that launches boats off their trailers right next to the dock with the black and blue boat.

@Seadeals
It has been reported here in the past that they open up those motors on the brand new boats. Can you confirm that?

 

[buckbuck]

Also, how many minutes do you estimate they put on the boats as they test?

@Babin Farms Man, what I wouldn't give to live in the country like that! Admiral is a city girl so no go.

It is nice most of the time living out there but there are times when it's not so great.
- Blizzard conditions, no plows out, roads are impassable with vehicle but yet I still have to make it into work - ride the snowmobile to get there(not all that bad)
- when power is lost we are always the last to get it back (why we have a Generac now)
- Wind is ALWAYS blowing (nothing to block it) & one reason we don't have a pool
There are more good things about living out there than not and we love it. The only way it might get better is to live with waterfront property.

I agree with @Babin Farms on the above having a 4300' driveway to maintain, up the side of a hill. You learn self sufficiency. My wife lived in Honolulu, Manhatten and Orlando before we moved here 32 years ago. She misses the fine arts/dance the most.

Still. I love the country and would jump at the chance.

It’s the very powdery variety.

Very powdery indeed. Bring a good straw.

I am looking forward to the day when I sell my place and leave behind the machine that moves the "beautiful white sand".

My youngest loves to ride.
Just not my boats...
I keep telling myself, it's okay.
She's ready to move into @Babin Farms neighborhood.

Agree even though I know that I’ll miss it to some extent.

Funny, ya that is the type of white sand that will freeze your coconuts if they fall into it.
