Fully rigged!

To our Northern brethren, ....... oh the horror.

Pick a place, a time, and enjoy.

I need a base for Gillie`s bent prop. Who would have thunk that an old trophy base would be that hard to find.

My thoughts on the tourney are wide open.

I will be putting lipstick on my pig for the ball. I love that about our gatherings. Makes me go all out.


Cheers,
GFS

Well the Phantom Vampire has been killed - finally. My issue turned out to be a bad high speed fuel pump, when checked at idle it would show 40lbs of fuel pressure and it would run fine until 3500 - actually checked it twice and a guy had it 3 weeks and couldn't find it. Had to take to a shop with water access, as soon as it got some RPM the pressure went goofy. Intermitent stuff is a gaint pain in the ass to find, I can't believe how long I chased it.

Of course now that it will run WOT - I can't afford to feed it @ 3.70 a gal [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I just figured out my cost for gas in May for my 2 efficient cars and my 18 SeaCraft was around $800. I thought getting an 18 would be affordable

Math is now my worst subject. I would lose my mittens if they were not attached. Feed the pig dot com.

Getting excited about the trip. My wife just gave me a food dehydrator for my birthday. Right now I've got 2lbs of top round drying. If it comes out good(which I think it should) I'll bring some for the group. I also was at a charity event and won a bid on some offshore rigged lures. Hopefully those dolphin and tuna pounce. I want to come home with some big filet's like we did in the Keys.

Pull the plugs. What do they tell you? Comp? You can pull one plug at a time and look for gas squirting.

Almost sounds like a vacuum leak. Is your idle high?

Why did that cyl. lean out?
Cheers and excited,
GFS
Still rude and smokin`
