Hey GL, you get all you engine gremlins sorted out on the DOI?

Sure looks awsome in her original livery.

[glh]

We have the two smaller engines in it right now with my smaller props and it gets shy of 130. Buzzes up to 120 pretty fast, so it is a blast to run around.

The bigger mills will be ready by end of September, we should be ready to break them in then, after that it will be Key West to have fun with them.

Rick, I was thinking about you today.

You are always mowing the lawn.
Today, I spent about an hour hosing down all the concrete of my back yard (all kinds of palm nuts).
I figured it was the equivalent for an AZ guy to you mowing the lawn every few days.:26:

GL - sorry for the hi-jack.

[Scarab KV]

I can see them from home with Bodog and cable. I couldn't see them from the store on Excite and DSL.

[Smarty]

Had a day full of pictures, too many. Ocean City/SomersPoint/Corson's Inlet/Mays Landing, NJ.

[Smarty]

More, some at 90/91 mph. Yesterday was a good day. This boat is all sorted out, props are dialed in...finally!

[Smarty]

Some more. In the second picture I am in the black T-shirt, and my brother Michael in the blue T-Shirt. My mother, brother and his family (wife and four kids ages one through nine) were in his Donzi taking these pictures. Family day at Corson's Inlet, Ocean City side.

Too many JetSki's there (Corson's Inlet), but it was a beautiful day. My first day boating in the Phantom at the Jersey Shore since my father's passing last summer. A good day for the family.

Dock picture is at Kent's Shady River Marina, on the Egg Harbor River, Egg Harbor Twp. NJ (Mays Landing).

[Smarty]

My niece on the Donzi, the sunset, my mother and sister-in-law with my one year old nephew on the beach in Ocean City, NJ (Corson's Inlet). Nice day.

GLH,

Those are great pictures,.... nice!

[PatriYacht]

Algae bloom on Lake Erie on the way to Kelly's Island. After a couple of days of warm weather and calm winds the algae multiplied at the surface. It was so thick some places, it looked like green paint. Sorry for the poor quality, taken with a phone.

[PatriYacht]

Another

[Ms PatriYacht]

wow Ian looks like you finally got that phone figured out, it was odd to see a chartuse colored wake, I am glad it did not stain our boat.

[Ratickle]

That's funny. You two do talk, don't you.......:rofl:


That is weird in the water though. When I was Pres of a Lake Assc, there were some algae blooms that were so toxic we would close the lake to human contact and notify everyone to keep animals from drinking from it.

[Geronimo36]

Saturday I went out with my wife and daughter and spent the day anchored up at the local island... Perfectly sunny day in the mid 80's with non-existant winds!! Just a perfect boating day!

Sunday we hung out at the marina in the morning and went to a BBQ in the afternoon... another great day!!!

On Monday I got 4 boats together and we made a run up to NYC. We were supposed to go to Long Island but the winds were blowing northeast the day before at 20mph and it looked like victory at sea (small craft advisory was up) when we turned the hook and ran a few miles. Dee should have some good pics from our run, some boats dissapeared in the waves. ;) The ocean was solid 4-6's and getting bigger the further we went.... We ran up to NYC thru the Narrows and it was 3-4's mostly. On the ride back I ran about 75 mph in the slop for a few miles.... I have some video from the GoPro but have to get it up-loaded, maybe tonight if I have time.

[PatriYacht]

I have no idea if the stuff was harmful, I've never seen that before. Lots of people fishing in it. Sure was wierd looking.

not on the water, our engines are too friggin loud, so I sit there the whole way not saying anything, which for me as you know is like torture :biggrinjester: then we arrive on the dock and we both start talking to different people, and that goes on like that for most of the weekend, then when we get home like last night as he is trying to fall asleep I am trying to tell him all the things I forgot to say during the whole weekend................... married life; it's a trip:kiss:

GLH, you sure do have the life, those pictures are great, I hope to get a tour of the Mutt in KW.

Great ride!


Some more. In the second picture I am in the black T-shirt, and my brother Michael in the blue T-Shirt. My mother, brother and his family (wife and four kids ages one through nine) were in his Donzi taking these pictures. Family day at Corson's Inlet, Ocean City side.

Too many JetSki's there (Corson's Inlet), but it was a beautiful day. My first day boating in the Phantom at the Jersey Shore since my father's passing last summer. A good day for the family.

Dock picture is at Kent's Shady River Marina, on the Egg Harbor River, Egg Harbor Twp. NJ (Mays Landing).

Great ride!

Thanks it was a good day! The Jones family day on the water. My life-long friends from home are in the boat (Phantom), and my mother, brother and his family were in his boat taking pictures at the start of day and at the end of the day.

In the middle of the day I was hanging in the ocean off of the Washington Avenue, Margate beach (Lucy the elephant's beach) looking for a race, but it was either 60/70 mph boats, which I did want to pick-on, or 120 mph boats which would be futile to try to run. Other than that, it was a great day.

Thank you for the compliment

[Geronimo36]

Thanks it was a good day!

It was a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore Saturday, one of the nicest this year!

A friend sent me this cell phone pic, it was as we were leaving our raft-up on Sandy Hook Saturday afternoon.

Here's a short video running home from NYC between the Verrazano Narrows to Sandy Hook.

It's hard to tell with the wide angle but we were running in some decent chop, mostly 60-65 mph. There's a little air about 1:50 in ;) and running 75 @ 3 minutes and again at 3:30.

Enjoy!

That was solid. Does it have an external mic jack so you can put a mic low out of the wind?

Sorry, didn't mean to high jack the thread.

Sorry, didn't mean to high jack the thread.

I don't think it has a jack because it's in a waterproof case that can go down up to 100 ft but it does have a high/low sound setting and you can also remove the waterproof lense to get more sound in. I'm not sure which setting I have it on but when I had it on the transom a few weeks ago you could hear the engines, although I think it was probably a little too loud and broke up the sound a little.

PS, Sorry for the hijac as well...
