Anyone planning on being at Lavon this weekend, Easter weekend? I ran the Whaler last night for the first time in six months and she ran like a top!!!!
I did a compression check on my BBF yesterday and was hoping for some constructive advise. The following numbers were taken on a cold motor.
Cylinders.
1. 125
2. 125
3. 160
4. 130
5. 60
6. 175
7. 160
8. 150
As you can see, the numbers are all over the place and #5 is basically useless...
Great news fellers, Lake Lavon is now ABOVE FULL POOL at 492.10 as of 8:27am this morning! Full pool is 492.00 feet
The lake is at the highest it's been since June 2010

Hey guys.....need a little advice here. The Crusader has been used twice this season (since March 1st) and I've noticed more oil blowing out of the oil dipstick hole than I'm used to seeing. The oil is apparently coming out of the oil dipstick hole. I'm wondering......do you think the PCV valve...
The weather is looking pretty darn nice for this upcoming weekend. Anyone up for putting their boats in the water and running in Lavon this Sunday 3/4/12?
Collin park?
All the ramps are open and I'm open to meet anywhere on the lake.
Wind: WSW @ 11mph
High: 73F
As most of you guys know...I love Boston Whalers too....and happen to have a pretty cool little 1966 13 footer for me and the kids to tool around in. in June 2011 we had the 4th annual Corpus Christi Boston Whaler GTG.....
Some of the pictures taken were at Snoopy's over at the causeway, others...
Prepare yourselves for the most awesome, amazing RC footage ever, bar none. Please set aside nearly 8 minutes to watch. Great, great photography, scenery, etc. Last minute of it has some humorous stuff. You won't be disappointed. clap.gif...
Myself, my girlfriend, her best friend and her best friends bf are thinking about renting a couple of cabins for 2-3 days over the March 16-18 time frame (Spring break) and was thinking about renting a cabin on a lake somewhere in E. Texas......
Any recommendations fellas?
We may or may not...
Each year I attend a boat show somewhere.....and this year is no different. This year I'm hitting the Dallas boat show and it is being held for two weekends in a row.

According to this link, we are going to get 3-5 inches of rain over the next few days.......and much of it will be either right on top of us in the DFW area or to the north of us......that means we'll get a lot of run off into our area lakes and hopefuly start recovering from this terrible...
As some of you know, I've been looking for a long time for a set of slotted mags for the Crusader trailer....which are period correct for the 1978 Crusader. Well thanks to Matt (Last Mohican) I was able to score a set of 14" slotted mags!!
Here's what they looked like when I brought them home...
Well, not all projects that are done in the winter months are on boats. My son and I decided that instead of buying a new truck, we'd spend a little $$ and just replace the cloth interior seats of our 2005 F-150 Super Crew cab XLT Texas Edition, with some leather seats.
Thanks to Matt (Last...
I've decided to drop some coin on getting the interior of the Crusader done. I've started with the interior and will get the rest of it finished in February with my tax return. Based on James advice and interior results, I took the engine cover to Browns in Mesquite....great place, fast quality...
Wow, this is one clean boat!!

All right fellas, it's only the beginning of December 2011 and I am totally missing the lake....this sux. The 2010 season on Lavon had to be one of the best summers of my life.....and watching our last GTG in November 2010 made by Blazeracer just re-enforced those thoughts...
This is hilarious!!

Hats off to James and Maria for throwing a killer party!
Instead of adding the pictures into an 8 page thread, I went ahead and opened up a new thread with the Saturday Night Fever 2011 pictures linked to it.
