Glad to hear that you are doing good. Yeah things are getting better. But It has been a rough Journey the past couple of years. |
Sorry to hear about the rough times. Good to hear your on the upswing of things.  I would like to hear about that cool cruiser there in your profile pic.

Hello Art , glad to hear you all are doing good. Did you finely move to the river? I am hoping to be moving to golden valley in a couple of years. That is where the other half wants to move to. |
Hey Rod, yeah been out here for 8 yrs now and 3 back surgeries but all good now, sold all the boats and now have a cruiser Spectra20, was an I/O and got rid of that and a friend put in 4 stringers in and it's like a new hull now, V-Drive will be going in and should be able to start on it in by October, should be done for next summer.

That's for that extra power when needed.

Cool I wasn’t sure if you moved or not. I all most bought a Spectra 20 I/O but the guy sold it before I got there.  sounds like a lot of work I would like to see it when you get done
Injected is nice, But I'd rather be BlownÂ

Thanks Doug, I glad that you are doing well. I see that you moved to Texas. That is a big move, you like it out there. I did a lot of work in Austin was pretty ðŸ‘. |
Yeah, it pretty much happened overnight. We came here on vacation 2 years ago, saw the home prices and made an offer. It took 2 trips to get all of our crap here, but we stopped at the river for 4 days on our second trip. It sure beats apartment living.

That is Awesome, Glad to hear, it must have been a real good deal to just pack up and move your whole life just like that. But if that is your dreams you have to fallow them. And you always have to stop at the river no matter what.

Our dream was to leave California but we didn't expect it to happen so quickly and to move so far. We miss family and friends, but we still visit and our quality of life has improved greatly. Did I mention that gas is usually under $2 a gallon here?

Yeah it is amazing on how fast your life can change by one thing. I am happy for you but it does suck not see family when you would like to. But again sometimes you need a break.
Yeah rub those gas prices in or faces no it’s all good my sister lives in Oklahoma and she says it is very low there also.

Well I just bought this little 1985 Daytona. The guy has had it for nine years in his garage and started to restore it and got the new floor in it then got married and the restore stopped anyway it is a long story. But I bought it Monday the floors look real good and he said that it would run. The gelcoat is in real good condition and it needs seats and upholstery, carpet and a new steering wheel. I got it running today after checking everything out. Found that the plug wires were all in the wrong spot  . But it sounds real good for being sitting for years.
I am going to upgrade the distributor to a electronic ignition as the one that is in it is a duel point Mallory   also put a single poll alternator in it. Probably some other stuff but for now that will be good to go to the river. |
very nice. Looks like a little bit of work but should be well worth it. Been trying to get my dads '76 ranger mini cruiser that's sitting in the garage. hasn't seen water in about 13 years. It's in great shape with a 351w with an OMC stringer outdrive. Will need a little love but well worth it as well.
