Eh, yo.  :)
.
Weather was absolute perfection, boat looked fine, water was spot on.......................boat broke, never got further than windsor4 beach :cry  :cry  Nursed it back to launch ramp after we just hung at that beach for 2-3 hours.
.
Went with Karl on Sunday for Breakfast down to Havasu Springs, then his boat broke just outside of Cattail.(spun prop) Had to wait there a couple hours til a replacement prop was brought down...
.
Even my truck acted up before we left so I took a different car out there.....I should have seen the signs :rolleyes  :laugh

The Saab 9-7x SUV pulled it like a champ, not even a second thought about that.........nice thing was the car was fully prepped for towing so all I had to do was slip in the reciever and trailer plug...

Good to hear at least something went well for your trip.  Bet that was a nice ride over compared to the truck?

Nice ride yes but more cramped with four peeps and a dog.....
It also has XM in it so that was nice, but it further confirms my preference of Sirius..

Floating is good. Wife wants a new floaty something the go into the tullies with to look at mother nature type things. Damn I'm going to miss her.
BTW, all this time I thought your boat was an I/O.

That's what I have in my boat. This was its 4th season but very little use this summer. It sat in the hot garage getting crispy most likely. I knew I was pushing my luck but I figured I could get a couple more trips on it :rolleyes oh well.
