Right, fellas?

You must be proud as a peacock.
Yep. *Two more hours on the LT Parker. *He must be getting close to his
10 hours service on the Yamaha.


We went out on the new boat this morning... Pulled out of the slip at
9am, picked up a friend at his lake house at 10am, the went to
Spinners for brunch.

Ate brunch there, then cruised the lake, checked out a couple of
marinas up the river, messed around until late afternoon. *Dropped him
off about 6pm, covered the boat up back at the slip about 7:30pm.


Saw an old Starcraft boat... all aluminum, it was pretty cool. *Also
saw another Premier pontoon with a Yamaha 350 on it (!).


A 350? *Damn! *Can they be fitted with twins?


The local dealer has one... a 10' wide deck 28 footer... that has twin
225s on it. It seems like it was $72k. Pretty cool, it doesn't have
a swim ladder. It just has maybe 4 foot wide"steps" in the center of
the "transom" that lead down to the water.


Last summer, I had to get a replacement fuel filter for the ETEC - I
had sucked up some crud off the bottom of the fuel tank - I had run it
lower than I normally do.

Anyway, the Evinrude dealer over in Ballentine (I think it was
Ballentine - off of Dutch Fork Road) had a Bentley (again, I think it
was a Bentley) 28 footer with twin 250 ETECs on it.

Very tempting. :)

I saw a Bennington up on Webster Lake yesterday that had a 300 Verado
on it.
