I know you run your boat but just for those days when you don't want to burn any fuel you can get the sensation with only a few pennies of electricity cost. 

And Patch yeah you know I do,  JJ warned me not to push the Carlson over 70mph until I get a prop release.  Somehow I don't think that will be a problem right now.  Going to get the motor next weekedn even though I have another motor right here I could use.  Seems like I am starting to stock pile Big Block Chryslers again.  Time to start racing.

Can't wait for Saturday I have a lot of work to do to the trailer tonight to get it ready.  Probably should swap out the tires before we leave too since a few are having a hard time holding air and one rim is missing the valve stem.

Edit: BTW Billy looking forward to seeing yours run saturday

Christian I was just giving you a hard time . It will be nice to meet you Saturday ..
I normally make my runs early before a lot of people get there . That way I can just tell them the boat ran fast .. LOL ..  Be carefull driving up ..
Also when you get into Steel Creek Park , after the entrance gate , take the first left and follow road to the ramp .. The park has two ramps .. We  use the one to the left side of the park ..

I can't wait either.

Billy I know its all in fun we all know your sled is fast. I will be there and bring the video camera with me.  My directions have us coming up FM56 then onto CR 1305 then CR 1304 into the park.  That sound right?

Dang Stacy was hoping to get to meet up with ya.  Bringing the Carlson up just to show it around maybe float it but since there is only one seat in it and no motor not sure how easy it would be to row it around.  Need to get the three drain plugs for it today and some hose plugs for the water inlets.  Might wait to water test it at home too.

 

[73 Sanger Flat]

OK guys - I will be off the computer soon and we see you guys Saturday .. I got most of my stuff done yesterday , so just need to pack drinks , snacks and get some fuel for the truck . Wait for Galen to get in and fuel his boat up and we will be ready ..

Billy always says he gets there early to run before a lot of people get there. 
When I get there, his boat has dried off and doesn't look like it's been in the water.
I guess I need to get there earlier.

Isn't it strange how our boats can run so much faster when no is there? LOL

See you Saturday.

Jim caught me .. Maybe I have to leave it in the water a little longer this time .. See you Saturday Jim .
What time you rolling in ? Dad will have the Pontoon out there also so I can say I can out run one boat at least ..

 

[jimsplace]

I can only commit to getting there as early I can.
I'm shooting for around noon, but will try to get there earlier.

Your boat runs good, I have to admit it because I've seen it run.

Good maybe we will have something to ride on or tow the Carlson around.

 

[ChryslerJet]

Got a late start and had some issues with a tire and the spare rim center not able fit around the hub.  Be there after 10

 

[ChryslerJet]

Had a great day today with everyone.

JJ is a wealth of knowledge.

Billy your sled ain't fast but Galen is. Lol.  Thanks for the flight time.

Galen congrats on hitting 119 if you ditch Billy out I bet you'll pick another 5 mph

 

[73 Sanger Flat]

Christian . - I will agree with you , my boat is pretty slow at 110 mph today.. But I will take that because it  have a CHEVY in it .. LOL

Galen boat was a freaking rocket . Hit the rev limiter at 8000 and 119 on the GPS ..

 

[73 Sanger Flat]

JJ and everyone else we will not make it back on Sunday .. Galen had a little water pump issue and we need to do some leak down test  on it before it goes back out ..

Thanks everyone for helping us today ..

It sure was fun ..
3- V-Drive Hydros
2- V-Drive Flatbottom
1- V-Drive Day Cruiser
Almost another V-Drive was there , minis all inside parts
1 Pontoon Boat ( My Dad )

And One poor jet boat .

Well half the inside parts of that almost another one were in the back of JJs truck

Galen and Billy are both running strong.
Congratulation to both of them, they both looked good.

Billy may have been a little surprised how strong Galen's boat runs, but he's not used to being in the passenger seat.
