Had a great time today.  It was nice to put a few more names with faces.  When we first arrived it seemed like there were a lot of wrenches being turned.  By the middle of the day there was a lot of boats in the water.  The water conditions were good for most of the day.  The weather kinda sucked but it was still a great time.  Several with tore up stuff on the trailers tonight but other than Paul I think it is all pretty minor fixes for everyone.

Here's to a safe trip home for everyone.

Sat was fun day yet chilly. Most survived. Strange how weather changes the characteristics of a get together. It was different than last, but the campfire BS sessions were fun.

I have about 160 plus pics. You guys tell me what photo share site you prefer them on and I will get all of them there. Don't mind a couple of sites, but last year the Ritz pic site didn't work too well. I DO NOT WANT TO USE A LOT OF SPACE ON "THB" OR "PB". A link to the site seems to be better and I will put them on here and PB.

There are a few pics on FB-Texas hot boats.

BIG CHIEF?? Hmmmmm????

I had a great time.  I enjoyed hanging out with some old friends and meeting some new ones.  Thanks to the guys who worked so hard to put on a incredible vent.  A big thanks to Stacy for the K boat ride that was off the hook!!!!  clap.gif clap.gif clap.gif

I have to ask, are you converted to V-drives or are you still sticking with "I have always heard those V-drive guys just aint right"?

We had a great time despite being stuck on the trailer Saturday.  Hats off and a big hand  clap.gif to all those involved with putting this deal together!  429 staff were great and I really likes the squirrel police!  We already reserved a cabin for next year!

BWAHAHAHA!!! Ya know, it only takes one ride in a vdrive to make a jet guy to see the light!  I guess we'll have to wait and see.  Henry is a horse of another color!  LOL

That's great. Will work on pics and get them posted. Just didn't want to eat up a lot of THB "server" space. Seems I remember post a while back discussing that.

Thanks.

had a little issue fri afternoon with the carb's dumping fuel. found that 2 of the o-ring's on the needle and seat/ float adj were cracked / split thus loading the bowle's and spilling in big time.  the bad issue was found  that i had cracked the sprag gear on the shaft coupler. sorry knotty but at least you got a ride in a flatty.  :smile17:

They all have their good points.  Its why they make vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice cream.
I am fairly open minded myself.  If I need to be towed in, I don't care if it's a V-drive, jet or whacker.
