Thanks, I will be working on the boat all weekend but she is getting close now.

Everyone have fun, be safe and remember those who are have, are, and will fight for our freedom.

We took my friends Forester Rebel that he re-did this winter out. He's now sporting a 150 X-Flow, put a transom, floor, and added a sun pad as well as the rest of the new interior. Looks awesome for the little cash that's in it.

Hey Bill, Had three awesome days out on the Vulture. Hope you got out too. Today, Memorial Day was the best, the water was glass when we dropper her in at 9 AM. Love it when we are the only boat on the river early in the AM. Can really get the boat wound out on the pad without the worry of those suddenly appearing waves...Passed the cops on the way out and waived...on the way in we got pulled. I guess they noticed us ?? I could be out on our Sportcraft or Carolina Skiff and never get stopped. Anyway they said they stopped me for a safety check. Checked for jackets, horn, fire extinguisher, paddle, decals etc. I asked one of the cops if he wanted to drive it...he was scared and declined...HA HA HA . Kinda hate getting stopped but they need to do dummie checks every now and then to keep everyone safe. My son took a bunch of pictures of the boat running this weekend and I will post them soon. I hope all the Streamers on the forum had a great weekend. Dan

I am not ready with the VNo2, but had the 1984 Nautique out all weekend. 86 to 89 degrees in extreme northern Wisconsin. Got the boat out and up to speed and it died in the middle of the lake. After paddling back, started on the usual stuff. Dropped the air metal air filter in the top of the 350 pleasurecraft marine engine in some gas for a while to make sure I was getting proper air flow. After that didn't work, traced back to find I wasn't getting any gas up to the carb. A few tries with some starter fluid and still no gas up from the fuel pump. Next, bad gas??? Ok, sifon out all 18 gallons to some 6 gallon containers, add fresh gas and asome lead additive. Fired it over first time and it ran like a brand new boat for the rest of the weekend. Forgot how bad gas tastes. I'll post some pictures tonight if time permits. Lots of great barefoot runs for the rest of the weekend. Man did it suck coming back and going to work today. Especially after getting back at 1am and leaving for work at 6am. That's ok, friday is only 4 days away and it's back up for more fun in the sun. Bill
