  1. I have read stories about someone shooting someone else with a flare gun, killing them, and getting off with a manslaughter charge, which is what, 5-6 years?
  2. If you cant meet uscg requirements, they will make you get off the lake. Is this a permanent tank, or a removable can? Try West marine?
  3. The skeg guard is great if you are going to sell the boat. I wouldn't have one on mine, makes the ass end feel heavy and slippery, and you lose 2mph.
  4. Tripple, Indian is a lot worse, IMO. Way too many stumps. Buckeye isnt as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Joe, checked today, don't have any that small, they are both 19 and 21 pitch. But, I do have a 14x17 stainless that I let a customer borrow, I am almost positive that it will be too small for him. If it is, I will let you know. Now, here is a real run aground break. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v177/Hyperbaja/DSCN0499.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v177/Hyperbaja/DSCN0500.jpg Lower unit was completley destroyed on impact, the loss of the prop and prop shaft caused the engine to free rev over 6500 (max is about 4800), completley destroyed the drive and engine. This is what happens when you use your drive as a depth finder.
  5. What RPM does it pull? From what I remember, the solenoid itself is stupidly expensive, something like $55, new starter is the route to go.
  6. Which officer? And, as bad as that prop is, I have seen a lot worse, will post a pic tomorrow...
  7. I tell people keep the drive at trim limit whenever you are in a no wake zone or going on or off of the trailer, and you will never destroy a prop. I had a 42 Fountain out on buckeye for the little poker run last year, didn't tear anything up. For the green crud, go buy some Slimy Grimey. Not sure who all has it on the east side, but spray it on, let it sit 5 min and hose it off. Greatest scum remover in the world. Give me the numbers on the prop, looking for something like 14x17. Should be on the side, between the bades, or in the hub itself. If I have one that will work, you can have it free.
  8. Every evening I walk by there, always looks like a lot of cars, even during the week. Will have to take one of the dogs sometime.
  9. We have a lot of people call our shop with broken jet ski's. When I ask the brand name, the ones that come up all the time are; Sea Doo, Tigershark, Kawasaki, Honda. I have not had someone call with a broken Yamaha. Also, go to any marina. Look at their rental jet ski's. I have been to many lakes in different states. The marinas with RUNNING jet ski's always have Yamahas. You can't beat their reliability. Also, on the little jet boats, I like the Yamaha's over the Sea Doos. Split shifting is a thousand times more fun. The Yamahas may be a little slower, but ask any boater. Which is better, 5 mph more, or being able to use the thing whenever you want. Have been on the supercharged Sea Doos, probably have close to 50 hours, fun little thing. Wait until Vortech Superchargers releases their blower for the Kawasakis. Bob Endress said they had 0-60 times under 2.5 seconds. Hob- Just saw your message, went straight from church to the lake, are you planning to come out next weekend? Now I have to go buy exhaust.... Stock manifolds and risers for ~450, or just buy the headers for 2,500.....
  10. 80+ huh? Remember, water pickup speedos are very inaccurate (I have seen 10% at true 70), hand held gps isnt much better. I have 3 radar guns to burst their bubble. Hob and Bam, let me know the next time you all head out onto Alum.
  11. Where can you find a Number 6 for 25k? Are they hot? My dealer cost is over 35k for just the drive! Plus the transmission, transom assembly, and prop. That boat probably has a Herring props, which retail for close to 5k a piece!
  12. Have towed a 28' twin engine V to Cumberland and back with the V8 trail blazer, wasn't great, wasn't bad. The 39' Outerlimits was way too much for that truck though.
  13. No, but really, you can make millions. Just give me your email address, or your bank account number.
  14. Background info- Fountain power boats now holds the record for the fastest V bottom boat. A catamaran style boat is a lot faster. At 2:50 seconds into it, the other white boat is a 1.2 million dollar MTI, with twin 1550 hp whipple quad rotor big blocks in it. Will be in the Miami Vice movie. Threw a blower belt in this video, I have seen it push a little over 170 on radar. Reggie Fountain (ower of Fountain powerboats) claimed to only have twin 1500 hp engines to everyone, but last time I talked to him, he told me the old engines were well above 1800hp, and the new ones made the 1800's look weak. Couldn't talk him into exact numbers. mms://media.offshoreonly.com/OSOTV/2006JaxPokerRun.wmv The boaters here will find this pretty impressive. Edit- you will have to copy and paste.
  15. Commercial, believe it or not. Can I pull the "I was testing it" card? I mean, loud engines and stereos are really nothing new. Have had this one a lot louder many times before over the last few months, with no problems. If it makes any difference, it was during the posted hours of business.
  16. Cool, that is grey enough to be thrown out in court. Not near Polaris. The closest house is a mile away, it was saturday, around noon. Way out in BFE.
  17. In Delaware county, not in city limits, way out in BFE. Had the po-lice show up telling me to turn music down. Closest neighbor is a mile away. Officer would not give me what the law says, just that the music was too loud and it had to be turned down. Where do I find out what the law really says? I know it is a holiday weekend, but I want to know how to beat the officer next time it happens.
  18. Needs an antenna and mounting bracket. 20 bucks. Subscription is paid through either the beginning of september or the end, cant remember.
  19. You need the duck bill valve. The jet ski will never ever fill up with water.
  20. Cool, would be happy to make a quick g.
  21. Hate to pull the 2 weeks bull shit, plans are to have the red boat together for Cumberland, should be all dialed in mid-august. Up for it then in that boat, or can always find another to run sooner? What are you going to bring?
  22. While people are on this topic, I have a question. I asked my eye doctor about laser eye surgery about a year ago. She said it works great for a while, and most people start to see their vision start to go back down after a few years. This is the first time I had heard this, and wasn't sure if it was correct, or is she just looking out for her job security? Anyone have any first hand knowledge?
