Well, didn't quite make the lake this weekend (25 mph winds gusting to 35 are not my idea of a good time), but I tried to do SOMETHING boat-related. The 13 year old is starting to become a real contributor:

I even let him try the buffer

So now he's the age that he can handle grown-up jobs but is still small enough to fit in the helm compartment (skinny little s--t). That's a HUGE bonus. I need to think of everything I need done before he and his little brother get as big around the middle as I am.

He also passed his on-line Boater's Safety course. I suppose I'm gonna HAVE to give up some helm time now...


It's been tough trying to get out this year. The kids just got out of school on Friday, the wind was way too much to deal with Saturday, and the Wife and Eldest Daughter headed to Indiana on Sunday for a college tour.

I'm starting to understand folks that sell their boats when their kids hit this age (and mine are no where NEAR as busy as a lot of yours). I don't condone it, but I do understand it.

Bought the Rubber Dockie these things are great, bad part is it takes up so much room in the boat and garage.

Finished install/wiring the tower ICON8s. Not too bad, all things considered, and I got some help!
Man, those look good.
Still need to install the amp (WS HT) and WS420. And then I'm done.

It does.. its a pain to manover sometimes.. esp with a 4 door long bed truck but man the ride is smoooooooooth! I need to measure the entire rig!

100 hour old spark plugs looked pretty good. Except the first on stole the rubber part from my socket.

 

[Scottintexas]

Certainly not professional but finished

My Father's Day present. Chaparral 227 SSX Surf. I feel dirty getting rid of my Chaparral Jet (loved everything about that boat), but damn if I did't have to get this boat. Hope to see ya'll on Falls Lake, and if you ever want to try the surf it churns just let me know.

 

[veedubtek]

Bimini down. Windshield off. Console organizer off. And still bounced off the bridge 2-3 times.

 

[KXCam22]

Thats low. I thought it was tense having to ballast up to get under a bridge. Cam.

 

[Ronnie]

The view from my balcony while on vacation. Anyone care to guess where this is?

 

[Bill D]

Cabo?

 

[farrelltravis]

I am pretty sure I am wrong, but Puerto Vallarta

 

[Ronnie]

Too easy huh? @Bill D

 

[Bill D]

I LOVE Cabo! I think I saw my favorite seat at Senor Frogs from the picture.
