Looks like launching at Hammond on the third, staying downtown outside the wall for the fireworks (rafting???) and running back to Hammond for the night. BBobb mentioned Boater's Beach then for the 4th.

Was able to put gas in the boat AND I think I fixed my power-steering leak (good call Dennis!), so I'm good to go for Friday. I'll probably be putting in at Hammond around noon and doing the Friday/Saturday thing. Might head for Michigan for Sunday/Monday.

Where do we call to get slips at? Can we get them Friday? How do we make sure we are next to each other?

redhotsommer

Don't know how or IF we can be next to each other. You just tell them you want a slip when you show up, or call on the way...that's what I was told yesterday when I tried to get one. Believe me, there are PLENTY of empty slips there. Request R dock, T dock or V dock if you can to be close to the go-fast populus.

O one more thing I might have room if anyone needs a ride. My buddy Eric is unsure if he can make it and Nikki has a going away party Friday night so she will be heading down Sat am.

Marine forcast looks good for Friday NW winds 5-10, 2ft or less laying down to 1ft in the evening. Sometime between Friday night and sat winds are supposed to blow south and then change back to north saturday afternoon. Looks like its shaping up for some good boating weather!

I'd go to the beach with you guys but the girls wanna be in the pen and I'd prefer to keep the boat restricted to small jaunts in case any issues pop up with the port motor again... I'll definitely be stuffin Nerf footballs in my exhaust when I'm anchored off though that's for sure... I think my milk shake oil was a result of water gettin in my pipes.

Anyway, was able to get a slip at Jackson for saturday night, it was the closest to the city that had any left.

And some semi good news, I'm seein 74 with a 50% chance of rain, w/ waves 1ft or less on wunderground now. Better than 70%. :(

Dont you have the rubber flappers on your tips? Those should be good enough to keep water from being pushed up the tails. Now, with your larger than stock camshafts, combined with a extremely low idle, can suck water into the cylinders.

If i remember right, dont one of your motors idle really low? And wasnt it the port one? Just something to check...


Heading to my parents lake house tomorrow but coming home sunday a.m. Hoping to get on the lake by noon sunday. Sunday weather looking better than tomorrow! High of 70 and rain!! :(

See you kids out there around noon or so, I'd guess. Andy...even without the chip, all you'd have had to do was turn it on before you ran to the city, then follow the track it drew on the way back. That's what I did...same with Dennis. Although, to be on the safe side, I did most of the navigating with my eyeballs. Didn't feel safe until I saw that opening in the wall.

Thanks guys. It was kinda weird. like if it was in gear, idling, you heard clunking, almost like something was tapping on the hull. But if I put a little power to it, it seemed to go away. out of gear, no noise. Weird. The forklift guys were gone when I got back, but boat should be back in the garage now. Im gonna go down and see what I find.

However, the boat did run great, and did feel more solid hitting a few wakes on the way to the beach. Clicked of 70.3 mph the way home which was nice considering the relativly flat water.

Verdict is in on the clunking noise. Upper drive bearings crapped out, causing the rear housing cover to snap. Broke upper drive gear. SOB!

Dude that sucks!!!!!!!! Sorry to hear that!

Great day Sunday !

We ran from Chicago to a friends beach in Indiana thats between the steel mills, and not far from that cell phone tower thats sits between them. It was me, Wayland's 38 Twin Step Gun, and Mike's 46 Rough Rider Strip Poker.

The only other offshore boats we saw in Indiana was a red ICBM with gold stripes and a few smaller Baja's.

You obviously didn't come by us at boaters beach on Sunday, I think there were about 25 offshores anchored. Most of Bad Influence offshore was there along with a bunch of the Hammond T dockers. Too bad you guys didn't come by it was a great time!

Great day out there, although I think i may have broke something on the way in. Got close came off plane right before the locks, and and there was a weird clunking noise going on with my port side. Hoping its just a u joint going bad and not another drive....

Thanks George, saw that earlier. I think i may have a drive lined up, and just may be boating by the weekend! Plus I think i may have located some gearsets, to redo both broken drives I have now for cheap money. We'll see what happens........

Ive seen some great prices on ssm III setups lately. Theres a complete setup with drive, transom, tranny, and trim cylinders on oso for 3g. Planned to yank motors this winter for bilge makeover. Would be a good time to convert over to SSM setup! Not Konrads, but still a much beefier drive and better suited for my old lead sled than the trs.

Was talking to a guy who converted from TRS in a older Top Gun to SSM V, and he says the re-rig wasnt all that bad, and the boat handled alot better and flew more level off waves. I wanna say that he said he didnt even have to recut the transom just drill the mounting holes for the gimbal.

But anyhow, thats a long way off. This weeks project is to get "*****in" (Art's aronow cat) in the water. New motors are in, drives repainted, just need to wire new dash up.

Not too mention it blows driving like i have eggshells under my throttles! Never had a TRS issue with my old 40 Excalibur, and I ran it pretty hard. But that was with 420's. I might slap those 27P mirage plus props on to try them. Should be ALOT easier on the drives than those maximus. But I sure will miss cruising at 50mph at 3700rpm.

The boat does feel alot more solid since I replaced all the broken rub rail screws, and added thru bolts. Much less flexing and vibrating.
