I pulled my Top Gun on Saturday and started winterizing her for the winter's rest. I've got to say...It was an awesome year for us. Not one time this year did the boat not start, stall or break or even hiccup. I was due!!!

What a relief!!!!:cheers2::cheers2::smash::smash:

I suppose that one didn't really count. You were down for maybe 2 minutes.

I had forgotten all about that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I need to get in there tomorrow and crimp new connectors on those wires!!

At least I didn't have to go back into the pits on one....That woulda sucked!!

We had the same type of summer Craig. The only time I had a problem was in april when I took it out of storage and in the service rack it started and then stalled 10 secods later...fuel pump. 7 years on a fuel pump is not a bad run!

Maybe sometime you can make it up our way.....last time I saw you, you were in a 23 Formula.:sifone:

Yeah, it blows to break down in front of everyone you know and a few hundred spectators.

Try solder.

Solder is not ABYC approved for marine use.

Us, too. But I did put 450 hours into the boat over the winter! :rolleyes:

Like R said - We have to hook up in 2009. Hope to have the winged wonder back in action by then, too.

Chuck, your boat looked awesome and congrats on a great year!

The second half of my year was good.....after rebuilding BOTH motors in July/August and missing half the poker run season!

At least I have fresh Ron Potter motors for next season!
