Are you planning on attending the Regatta? We are heading up the weekend before and staying on during the week. Just wondering? |
I've changed dates for this twice and not sure they're doing it. I'm be at Elim in the AM. Friend sunk his boat Sat and is taking it in. Right now I'm planning on the 13th thru 17th and then again on the 25th. If Elim cancells I'll skip both those weekends and be there from the 20th to the 24th.  |
Alfie and I will be flying to Vegas on the 18th, and in Havi on the 19-20-21 if you need a beer! I found out today I am getting a piston in the Nordic. Brian has it torn apart and told me today piston #1 is bad. Looks like old damage from 2 years ago when I overheated it (bad impellor). Oh well, Brian's kids need shoes too. |
Of course I'll need a beer, unfortunitly I won't be there to collect it though, heading out this weekend. Hopefully I'll find out about Elim's Regetta today. Not looking good so far. Why did Brian tare it down, did you break something. Kind of difficult to believe you been running that big beast 90 mph on 7 cylinders for two years. Most Heat's can't run those numbers on 8. What happened with the Fountain, you never finished that story. 
BTW, the next schl'd trip will be July 11th thru the 15th. Big trip with about 10 boats so far.

After Desert Storm we towed the Nordic back to Canada, thinking that it would be staying there for some time. BTW just before leaving I took her out for what I thought might be the last ride I would have in the Nordic on Lake Havasu and it seemed to run fabulous. Fast forward to Canada. Put the boat in the water at home and proceeded to my cottage. Boat is missing and surging big time WTF! When I reach my boatlift I lift the hatch to listen and the motor is knocking!
S--t! After searching out shops here I find no one can fix this thing in less than TWO MONTHS! That would leave me with a max of 30 days to use the boat this year-we pull them out of the water at the end of August. Thus I sent it back to Brian for a timely fix. We will fly to Vegas next Friday and pick up the boat next weekend. Top compression ring was completely gone on the #1 piston. Sides were also scuffed-it got hot. The Nordic has been a bit inconsistent the last year or so. I could not figure out why it ran different from day to day. Not sure where to start on the Fountain, I forgot where I left off.
Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then defeat you with experience.
