Not to change the suggect, but how did you get your tail soooo big?I'm lost with all this stuff here in the northeast.How much power do you run cause I know that has a lot to do with it.

Mike How did it go??????
It was awesome most of the day. We got an early start. There were 2 jetters that were burning fuel late in the day. They raced more than a few times in the rough stuff. My diverter pump is in Florida. It sucked out there with out it. Maybe next week if the pump is ready. I'm freaking burnt. Hope the Monsoon did get ya.

Nope, here it is;);) Look at all that up!!!!!!!! Jonathan's pump is setup similat to mine. diverter with 7 degrees of wedge :D :D Jim I had bergeron turn the wedge down a little because it was larger(in diameter) than the bowl and droop.

[Hotfish]

We definately need to do an all Kachina run. Boats are looking real nice.

[cave]

Mike That wedge is intense. How did it work on Sunday? Did you get the bouncy bounce? Man that thing is dam near VERTICAL.
I'll be there Sunday. Are we BBQing??? Not to sure if I'm going to sandy beach yet. I want to run the boat and not loose any more gas jugs full of gas. :D
What up Hotfish? Any beaches @ Bartlett???

[396_WAYS_TO_SPIT]

Definately;) As soon as everyone is dialed in (in about 3 weeks) we will come to your side of town;)

Yeah, The roost will be major! I couldnt throw it up on sunday cause the water was out of control.When I did the boat stood straight up! so I put it down real quick. Sunday its on;) I will have my jugs there too but with a cable and lock hooked up to a tree;) If I catch someone taking my fuel they will look like a beached whale when Im done with thier ass!!!!

what time is everyone heading out this sunday or do we want to meet somewhere?

[olbiezer]

396 its looking great dude........got that water making a S turn with all that wedge.......hope it dont hop out of the water......lol

[460 jus getn it]

early...............i dodnt feel like sitting in the holding area all day...............

[cave]

early...............i dodnt feel like sitting in the holding area all day...............
Me either. I'll be there earlier than normal. Maybe get a spot in between the 2 docks ya know where all the lake lice kick it. Man that would be killer for a group shot.
You and Mike gunna get there between noon & 3:30 dirty dirty???
No diverter again :( I really got to think about getting a manual cable diverter deal.
Hotfish or Squirtcha? You guys planing a jet heaven deal? Maybe at Bartlett. :D

[Hotfish]

Not this week. We're going to CBBB so trying to get ready for that. We have been doing Pleasant on Friday afternoons though.

[Squirtcha?]

Man...........that holding area. I've been to sahuaro a couple times. I enjoyed the sandbar thing, but that launching deal...........What a pain. :( I ended up climbing up and down that bigass'd hill a bunch o times. Not that I can't use the workout, but I think I'd rather go to the gym. :notam:
We don't even use the ramps at Bartlett or Pleasant. Just back em up to the beach. Really nice for test n tunes. You got your truck, trailer, tools etc. right there where ya need em. :hammer2:
I know it's a haul for you guys, but if you ever need to play with setup, or do some shakedown runs after rebuilds/restorations etc. Those two lakes are the berries for that type of thing. I've gone to both and spent an entire day and two tanks of fuel just playing around with setup stuff and doing gps runs.
We don't really have anything planned other than CBBB and Labor Day, but that doesn't mean we can't put something together.
It'd be a great photo opportunity with all those Cheena's together.
We really need to make this happen!

amen to that. i allways have my tool bag with me. the walk at suahro is hell some times but the last two sat me and mike have been there in the early evening and got spots right up front...................we really need to put some thing together, there are to many good looking kachinas ot to get all of us together.............whats the water like at plesant i have heard it gets way to choppy..................

[Squirtcha?]

whats the water like at plesant i have heard it gets way to choppy..................
Nasty on the weekends............real nice on the weekdays. That's why we usually make the Friday night thing. I don't think it would work for you guys though, unless you could take the day off. We usually get up there around 4:30 - 5:00 PM and stay on the water til dark. That'd be a lot of driving for ya'll for a couple hours on the water.
For a weekend trip, Bartlett would be our best bet.

[cave]

Dan are the beaches back? Bartlett is awesome if there are beaches.

[Hotfish]

I'm thinking Bartlett would be the best place for a get together. Shouldn't be to bad on a Sat. either. Would that be to far of a drive for you guys?
