Any updates..hope all is well with the boat!!!

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!

Ran great this weekend... Here are some pics... Speedo shot is from saturday. Port tach is on the blink. Saw 1-2 mph faster than this yesterday in 1 fters but didn't get the pic.

Spent the day yesterday at Boater's beach with Nikki and JJ. What a perfect day, flat water and warm! The nicest day of the weekend! On the way home the little guy said, "Daddy I want to go fast"! My responce, I'll try but if you really want to go fast you need to go for a ride on Kool aids boat!

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!
