One picture of your last outing.

Got Dad and I out for a little (Canadian) Thanksgiving run. Lower Niagara River. Bridge pictured is the border crossing from Queenston CA to Lewiston USA. Sailing between two countries ? probably our last warm day. 72F. Leaves falling everywhere.

Now if only I could figure out how to get the tower/shade frame lower than that garage door... (essentially level with the windshield frame)

I understand that there is an adjustment on the cable that attaches to the tower, restricting its ability to drop that low. The adjustment is by a nut at the end of the cable under mount on the gunwall. It is accessible through the under-seat storage areas, though, not easily.

I am building caster brackets the will attach to the axle tubes with U-bolts so that mine will fit through my garage door opening...

Wheels/axles off and onto casters directly? What's the height of your door opening?

Just taking the wheels off, the caster brackets will attach to the axle tubes. I will gain approx 5 inches. My door opening is just an inch under 8'.

Does the AR240 tower drop below the level of the windshield?

Does the AR240 tower drop below the level of the windshield?

I think it will if you adjust the retention cable all the way out or disconnect them...I have not done this yet.

75 degrees in mid-October - had to play hooky from work. Probably end up being our last outing unless we get another lucky day.

Last voyage of 2020. Took my pops out fishing yesterday morning at Beltzville Lake here in PA. Couldn't have asked for a better morning.

Not really an “outing” but the last time I’ll see my boat until May. Dealer just finished winterizing and is going to drop it off at the storage place on Tuesday so I went this morning to grab the batteries and snap-on covers. Picked up a couple buckets of DampRid at Lowe’s and the dealer will put them in on Tuesday right before it leaves their lot.

Saw a stack of Stoltz bow rollers in the service area and asked them to throw one on before it heads into storage.

I almost did not believe my eyes...Good to hear from you. I did see your video on Youtube a while back. How are things? I see the boat is fixed.

Absolutely my favorite thread on the forum !! It is great to see all the members boats , family / friends , and scenery from their boating homes especially this time of year. Some of these "northern" photos and the Fall colors are fantastic.

Speaking of color, grabbed this one as well. We’re in peak fall foliage now in the Poconos. Wish I had grabbed the good camera for the trip, but the iPhone images came out pretty well.

YEP , that's exactly what I'm talking about ! We are still a week , maybe two , away from that point here in south central KY. but going to enjoy it on the lake when it happens. THX.

What could be the last outing for my wife and I this season. We just finished breaking in the new ski and at lunch on the water. $60 for pasta, the food was one level above crap but the company was great and the trip fun and exciting.

He’s back! I was wondering how you were. Hope all is well.

Yessir. Things are good. I thought I posted an update on the engine with milkshake oil, that was fixed still in MO by Yamaha - whole new head assembly, runs like new. I'll check the update.
only 30-40 new hours so far this year but we love it here; looking to add another vessel though, more for the NE conditions and ocean going.

new home (when not slipped at a new lake - we rent a slip on Lake Hopatcong)


New registration; same shine; and same crew, lol
