Schiada NOT Regatta

[franky]

SInce thee will be no "Lee" Schiada Regatta, I have been talking to a few owners about an unofficial Schiada get together and am looking at October 14. If there is enough interest we could still do a dinner at the Schugrue banquet room. Who is in and/or what about the date?

[Hallett]

You you can count me in for this there is plenty of people
to make a good day of boating.

[mbrown2]

Well if the next couple days go as planned.....I might be joining you guys that weekend. Fingers are crossed. :)

[Riverkid]

I think it's high time you spilled the beans on the new boat, Mike...
We'd be down for the day, but not the dinner. Parker, anyone? :)

[Prop Rod]

you could count on at least three from us, Parker??!!

[mbrown2]

I think it's high time you spilled the beans on the new boat, Mike...
I will post some pics early next week after I pick it up....taking it up to Parker Tuesday night prior to Labor Day to get used to it mid week and staying through the weekend...just a couple more days...I am stoked!:)

[Jordy]

I will post some pics early next week after I pick it up....

[revndave]

[franky]

So screw the dinner and we will just meet up in Parker

[mbrown2]

I like the Parker angle too....Parker Strip and Schiadas just fit better then the channel trophys up at the lake...:)

[warpt71]

If you guys decide to do this in parker on the 14th of Oct, Ill be there and there will be two more Schiadas. We are staying @ Red Rock, at least 8 boats and half the campground.

[Schiada Time]

I like the Parker idea better than Havasu. Those of you who have read my posts know how I feel about Havazoo. I'll ink on the calendar and make sure the little women knows we are a go for that weekend.

Well done Franky !!!!! Let me know if you need any help, maybe I can see if we could get a few door prizes.
Count me and the wife in . also count my dad and mom in thier 21.
Hey were you and 3 other Schiada's at parker on friday, if so we were gonna stop by , but the wifes wanted to get back for dinner.
When I get home from havasu on sunday i'll fwd the pic to your e-mail address
Scott :) :)
Franky, was just curious as to why so late in Oct, the water at Parker will be pretty chilly,as well as air temp, any chance of say Sept 22-23-24 weekend ??
Just wondering...................
Hey I was gonna put together the whole enchilada regatta formal deal but got the idea peeps just wanted to do an informal hang out in Parker instead. So, Sept is fine too. What say yeah folks?
Wasn't me in Parker, waiting for a new blower snout.

[warpt71]

why so late in Oct, the water at Parker will be pretty chilly,as well as air temp, any chance of say Sept 22-23-24 weekend
Because Oct is the best month to be at the river!!! Its not soo hot that you have to be in the water 24/7 and it cools off at night. The water is actually warmer because it has had all summer to be heated by 115 days on end. Also most of the weekend woriors have stoped coming as well,school is back in. I have been going this time all my life and its allways been great.

[mbrown2]

October is the best month at the river....

[Hallett]

October is the best month at the river....
October is good for me if that works for everyone.
i think there will be less people there. like mbrown said.

[revndave]

Oct. is go for us.

[EZE II]

Count us in. Oct. is fine, nice time of year at Parker.
River Cusser your beautiful wife is always welcome to ride with us, but you can ride in the tube about 100' behind us.

Steve, I would give $1000 to drive with that situation :)

[franky]

Franky, if you have the time could you possibly see if Bluewater would give us a break on say a group rate , Oct 13-friday, 14th-saturday, and possibly use of the beach area where they do the ski race stuff ?? This could be real nice with a bunch of ez-up tents (provided no wind), I've got one 12x12 and one 10x20.
Scott.
Lets get er done !!!!!!!!!!!!
No problemo. I will call on Monday.

[Prop Rod]

[Riverkid]

How about the upper sand bar, across from Foxes? Bring a good anchor and a sand spike, should be able to get a bunch of boats in there, nice and smooth, shallow beach to get around on?..
Lots of V drives in there on any given weekend. :)

YES, October 14. Parker.

[FrznJim]

If we can get the rudder back in the red boat (sent it out to get x-rayed), we'll be there. We assume the details are going to be forthcoming. Also, don't miss Gary H. running his red Schiada in the Parker 300 the following weekend. That boat is awesome to watch!!!

Yeah there is a sea wall up there, sucks for flats but there is pleanty of green grass. Well if no one else shows up, there will be a shit load of v-drives @ Red Rock for sure!!!
I cant wait :D :D :D :D

[Schiada Time]

I may have 5 people in my boat as my brother in law and his wife may come and my step daughter will be coming too. My parents may come and bring their '22 and it would probably be just them too or possibly my sister and her husband in their boat.
travis

[Schiada Time]

Any other recommendations for rooms besides the Blue water? My fiancee waited too long to book a room and now they are all gone. May consider camping at Red Rock.

[38687]

i think "echo" has trailers for rent. big bend has some small one or two room cabins also. might try those spots.

[warpt71]

May consider camping at Red Rock.
Red rock is way cool if you have a tent or a RV, lots of grass and plenty of shade, plus you can litteraly walk to Fox's!!!

[Prop Rod]

................. plus you can litteraly walk to Fox's!!!

Make that site 23. I am in site 23. Tent camping at the river. Atleast its not 110 degrees this time of year.
Travis

[FrznJim]

Bluewater is what we heard. This should be quite a showing of boats!! I know of at least 3 more boats that are planning on attending that owned by people that are not active on this site.

[sawtooth]

Is it two late to add another boat to the list (21' RC) me and my Pop for sure and maybe a buddy.

[79 Howard]

Have you all forgot the bacteria count at the bluewater end of the river has been sending people to the hospital for weeks now, maybe the other end of the might be a better choice

We need to check with Boat Cop, i thought they lifted the quarentine?

[FrznJim]

79Howard, when was the last time you were at the river? When we were there in late August, the quarantine was lifted. Has there been any problems since then?

[76schiada]

I have never been to parker but just booked a room at bluewater for the 13th to 16th wheres the best spot to hang out to see all the schiadas Ill be there with mine thanks Ronnie

I just took mine out after a full rehab a cople of weeks ago. Working on some of the bugs right now. If I don't have time to test it before the 15th I'll be trying to tune it the 12th and 13th at Echo.
Did you just buy that in the last couple of years? I remember it was for sale.

[76schiada]

I had it for sale last year after i blew the motor but decided to put a new one in still lookin for a 21 or 22

Haha....Sounds like its going to be a blast!!! Im in spots 21 & 22, to bad I personally dont hava a Schiada. See you all in 4 weeks

If they don't we'll just hunt them down. :crossx:

I would suggest folks launch as early as they want, meet up at the dam (calm water for floating) say 9-10 ish and then run down river for breakast. Any thoughts cause I don't know much about Parker.

Sounds good....also an earlier idea was tossed out on getting together at the upper sandbar near Foxes....that would be a good idea as it will provide a place for all to meet and greet....definitely won't be enough parking at Foxes for the all 15-20 boats to tie up even though a number of boats are staying at Red Rock and Foxes.....how about 12-1 at the upper Sandbar...- Mid October the place should be a little quiter as the kids are in school, and the Glamis Folks have already moved to the Dunes..

I heard the current is pretty good there and that an anchor and stake are mandatory. Not real into beaching in a big current, wake boat wash but whatever.

[Riverkid]

Bring a sand spike and a good anchor (I use a box anchor). You'll be fine. Drive the sand spike in close, underwater. We put a floaty on ours so no one walks into it. The current is not bad at all in the shallower water and there is, as Mike said, quite a bit of room there. We get boats in there pretty close with no issues...

[mbrown2]

I heard the current is pretty good there and that an anchor and stake are mandatory. Not real into beaching in a big current, wake boat wash but whatever.
Exactly as RivKid mentions above...anchor and a spike and you have no problems...no need to beach your boat...float in as the water shallows, motor off,...jump out catch it....., spin it....set the anchor out front and then spike out back and you should be set...
If anybody needs an extra box/spike, I can bring one of each..

Okay, anyone who wants their own e-mail just PM your e-mail address to me or better yet, PM Franky, this was his idea!! The e-mails that I received were from folks at Rio Vista, I can forward those but not a whole lot of info.
I think all the ideas that have been posted are great, 9-10 at the dam (Franky, you might want to warn folks about the channel/shallows a mile below the dam) 11:00 at the Bluewater would be awesome for viewing all the boats, and 12-1 at the sandbar across from Foxes, is a great spot to get together and tell lies about the top speed of our boats.

Coming south from the Dam about a 1 mile south of dam, you enter Glass Alley area (sort of like a gorge)...Enter the gorge from the center and stay away from shallow beach on Cali side and then continue near the center as a 1/4 mile further south there is shallow bar near the AZ side....key here stay near center.
Another mile south you come upon the rock pile just north of River island...heading south stay to the right of the bouys and rock bar...
From there south just stay near the middle either to the left or right depending on either heading south or north...hope that helps..

Are any or all of these marked with the bouys?

[Prop Rod]

Now FrznJim, who would possibly b.s. about the speed thier boat runs :argue: I can't imagine that..........p.s. mine now runs a little faster than before :p
Scott
yeah, well mine will go 60 and 65 down river, so there! on gps of course. ha ha :)

[mbrown2]

Are any or all of these marked with the bouys?
Only thing marked with bouys is Rock Pile just north of Castle Rock...

[Schiada76]

Mine HAULS ASS............. behind my truck. :frown:
Coming up river just below Red Rock there's a huge rock bar on the AZ (right hand) side. I have some pics of it that someone took while the river was down but I'm pic posting impared.
Stay at least middle or towards Cali side at this point.
Waters good until Big Bend, the ninety degree right turn, about a mile up from Red Rock. River is narrow and deep up until just before the ninety degree left turn where it widens out just before the turn. No bars that I know of in this stretch except real close to shore. Like mbrown said keep to the Cali side of the buoys (narrow channel) here. Up river from there, just at the North end of the houses on the AZ side there is a long SHALLOW sand bar. Stay towards Cali side or center up to the big rock on the right where you dog leg to the right a little then you'll be looking right at the dam.

[Schiada76]

Menkens stainless props do not like rocks !!!! nor do our underwater running gear !!!! :crossx: :crossx:
p.s. mine does 80 behind the truck :p :p
I'll be running my Menkens three blade, haven't rocked it yet! :220v:
I was running in the nineties on carbs, new gears, new hat, more BOOST..................will probably need a tow. :sqeyes: :D

[Prop Rod]

are we going to get all official and see if there is anyone out there that wants to take pics for us, or should we leave it as every man/woman for them selves?
Maybe a group shot or something? Dont know just an idea!

[Schiada Time]

I may need a prop for that weekend if someone can bring an extra three blade for a 1-inch shaft. I have A 10-7/8X15 BUT i THINK ITS GOING TO BE A LITTLE SMALL.
RR

[FrznJim]

Red Rocker,
I have an extra 11-1/2 x 16 3 blade steel for a 1 " shaft that you are welcome to try. Just had it x-rayed so we know it has no cracks.

give todd a call a jokers wild, maybe he and his helicopter buddy are free for a few hrs while we all fart around on the river?? he could snap a bunch for a small fee, fuel for the twirly whrily :)

Here is what Jerry the photo dude said (I think he is Todd's dad) a while back, I would have to check back with him
"Dear Frank,
TIMING!!!!!!!!!! I need to get the schedule for the ASM Poker Run. I was just talking to Jokerswild Promotions today about this poker run and they are in the middle of getting insurance. As you may know, since last weekend on the Delta, insurance companies might have a different view of providing insurance for major poker runs. How many boats will you have and do you have a time in mind? The cost of the helicopter is $400 ferry fee and $245 per hour. We can split out the ferry fee and bill you for the actual air time you use for the group and running photos. We can usually shoot a running boat in about 1.5 minutes and the group photo takes less than 15 minutes. So this might give you an idea of the cost involved. The images are posted on the web site so everyone can see them.
Later,
Jerry
702.372.2797"
So that is that. If I arange it, will peeps pay? I am having my friend make a few shirts with the schiada (head) logo embroyderd on the left chest. Black button down collared shirts. Any interest?

[mondorally]

I'll take a shirt but pass on the photos.

[Schiada76]

I'm more of a t-shirt guy.
Those button thingies always confuse me. :220v:

[mbrown2]

Franky,
I am interested in a shirt and will help pay for the copter if that what the group would like....doubt we can do running shoots down on Parker though...maybe some group photos.

[franky]

where can I find the Schiada logo?

[mbrown2]

There are a couple of them...I just cropped this from the site..

[Schiada76]

Franky,
Would they be full button down shirts or Polo shirts?
What would the per head cost be for the chopper?
Have you contacted Jerry to see if he wants to shoot some footage for the next River Rats vid?

[franky]

Full button down NICE shirt. I talked to Jerry and he will call me back tomorrow for a shoot time and price.

[franky]

There are a couple of them...I just cropped this from the site..
From what site? I need a better resolution one.

[Schiada76]

Full button down NICE shirt. I talked to Jerry and he will call me back tomorrow for a shoot time and price.
I'll take a shirt for sure, my wife can button it for me. :D
I meant have you talked to V-Drive Video Jerry of River Rats fame?
He might want to shoot some footage if his schedule allows.

[mbrown2]

From what site? I need a better resolution one.
Schiada.com....was only able to crop a small pic from their site....might want to call Lee to find out if the web designer has a bigger graphic.

[h2oski2fast]

I'm gonna crash the sandbar, just to annoy Rvrkid and Mbrown.

[FrznJim]

Franky,
I'll take an XL shirt.

[Schiada76]

Don't know him, it's all you.
Size?
??? He's all over this site under the name V-Drive Video. He did the River Rats DVD's and lots of other race and v-drive regattas.
Send him an e-mail or private message or I will if you want. I'm surprised he hasn't posted here already.
I'll take an XL.

[Hallett]

put me down for a xl shirt. Jerry is on vacation until monday here is his web sight it gives his prices & info. http://www.v-drivevideo.com/

[Prop Rod]

I will go for 2 shirts, both XL, do we have any idea's on design?
Is it going to be Schiada NOT Regatta or Schiada Nadda Regatta, :crossx:

[Schiada Time]

i'll take two XL shirts.

or the Schiada Knot Regatta or Knot a Schiada Regatta. For the shirt we could do one of those brain teasers like under the cap of a Lucky Lager. Oh, and I found the logo on the S & B Custom images website. (http://jtinc.com/index05.htm)

The shirts are just going to be a nice (dress shirt) embroidered Shiada Logo. If it was a t-shirt the nada raga thing would work might work but I am not headed in that direction. Knock yourselves out though.
Hallet is suggesting that we try and get the beach at Bluewater. If that makes sence, Mbrown, buddy, can you help me out on this one? Didn't hear from Heli Photo Jerry today, I will call him later. If you want to hook up the V-drive Video guy, that would be great too or instead? I imagine it will be $200 to get the heli group photo stuff and then you just order what you want from his web page.

Franky,
Can you change me to one large shirt? My bride says large button-down shirt, not XL. We're planning on being there, have made plans to get the rudder in the boat. Now just have to get from Alaska to Washington via ferry, then drive to Parker (the boat is in Parker).

I pm'd Franky and he said he hasn't heard back from the helo guy.
V-drive video Jerry would tape and make a DVD of the event for $2,000.00 if everyone is interested. That would include thirty DVD's. If you haven't seen his work it is top notch. His River Rats II DVD is a must own for anyone with a v-drive.
He would interview everyone and showcase their ride and then tape passes or just general cruising, rafting etc.
The DVD would be a better deal than a helo in my opinion.
If enough people are interested I'd put it together. Franky might even want to bundle the DVD with the shirts.
Oh yeah, I'm no longer a maybe on the tally and I think 76Schiada is confirmed too. :D

Put me down for 5 people in my boat. My parents are towing their '22 down from Boulder City, NV as well.

This is a pretty loosely organized and I think everyone will go where ever although it seems there is a sizeable contingent at Red Rock.

I spoke to Bluewater and they can tape off space on the beach for us to park/anchor the boats. I let them know it would be approximately 20 boats. Just need to get a name of someone who is staying there who can interface with the lady I spoke to....which would amount to giving her a call...maybe setting up a time to meet her Friday afternoon or Sat morning so she can tape off the spots...Real nice lady. Since I am staying 13 miles up river I will not be able to meet with her Friday afternoon or Sat moring...She just wants the name of one us who is staying there.

i'm waiting for a call back from her. sounds like you have it handled. it should
work out well if we can get that space the ramp is right there and plenty of
room for all the boats. good job mbrown. so we need a person thats staying there to call her. scott can you call her i think you said your staying there.

[mbrown2]

I spoke with Beth...If someone could PM me there info I can provide her last name, direct number...she is in sales/events...; it won't cost us anything though...
They have lots going on that weekend internally but not much with boats so the feeling is we can have the space we need taped off without issue.

[Schiada Time]

I'd like to follow someone who knows the river as well. I have not boated at Parker in years.
Trav

[mbrown2]

Ok, gave Schiada76 the info to confirm/lockdown the BlueWater beach spaces...
Franky, let me know if you need any help with anything else.

[Hallett]

Hello Bob,
It was great talking with you and we are happy to organize the following for your informal group outing of Schida Boats.
As mentioned we will rope off at least 80' of the north end of the Beach for your groups use on October 14th.
Please be advised that the no wake zone applies and there is no launching from the beach.
We are having a FREE Concert that evening - Infinity a Tribute to Jouney and KISS ARMY...need I say more. The Cantina will be open for business.
Take care and if we can be of further assistance, please let us know.
Tina.
she also said the food & drink facilility will be open . there is restrooms
there & there always very clean. she said we can anchor off the shore
or you can get a dock if you want. hope ths helps this should be a great place to have this get -together . :)

[Prop Rod]

Sweet, thanks Bob!

[Schiada Time]

I'm hoping to still make it but unfortunately time is getting tight. We fired her up yesterday on the trailer and she ran great. I am getting some grinding noise out of the transmission and I believe it is the flexplate hitting the motor plate. Shavings of aluminum appear on the floor just under the transmission. I cleaned the shavings up, started it again, and it did the same thing. I am hoping I can stick a mirror under there, see where it is hitting, and be able to get to it with a rotary grinder and achieve some clearance. The fuel lines coming out of the tanks into the pumps have a small leak so I am going to go see Superdave again and get the lines and fittings replaced. All that is left after that is to service the V-drive (drain and refill), mount my throttle retrun spring, hook up my forward reverse lever, mount my switches for fuel pumps, depth gauge, and cav plate switch, put the interior back in, and water test. The only problem I see is that I am losing this next weekend before the regatta to a business trip I can't get out of. I'm still going to try and make it and maybe take a day off during the week to head to Elsinore and test but who knows. I'll keep you all posted.
Travis

[Schiada76]

Aww screw that testing stuff just bring it and test it there.
That's what I'm doing. :D

[UncleJoe]

We will be there. We also expect at least five more Schiada's to join the fun. The 22' Whaler is not fast (please wave as you go by) however, the blender spools up to 6000 RPM's while spinning tequila and ice into margarita's.

Does anyone have a hookup with Hot Boat Magazine to see if they want to stop by the Bluewater for some pics?

[franky]

Tuesday I ordered nice black twill collared button down shirts with "Schiada Racing" logo emboidered on the pocket, a few xxl, a few l and a lot of xl. Those that posted they wanted one are in, the rest are fisrts come first serve. Hope they sell. They will be $30. Award plaques will be ordered today.
Who will win the "First to Break" award?

[franky]

How bout the "Biggest b.s.'er Award" :p :p
***boat magazine ?? never heard of it, don't think they like to take pic's of Schiada's, hell they "missed" last years Regatta, but covered damn near everyone elses.
But hey, they are welcome to snap pic's of really, really cool boats :cool: :cool:
Scott
How about:
"LEAST USED BOAT AKA TRAILER QUEEN" ????
Tough call on this one, NOT.

Yeah, but there aren't any water spots on it when its in the garage :p looking all shiny !! :p

We will have a section roped off for us on the beach at the Bluewater (thanks Hallett). I just talked to catering and they can serve us at the cantina that is right next to where we will be hanging out. They don't normally do breakfast but can have the stuff to do "breakfast burritos" . We can line something up for a certain time of let people eat when and where they want. Whatever anyone wants. I would like to have a certain time that we are all on the beach for a few hours to check out the boats and all cast votes for the awards. How about 9-12? LET ME KNOW.

I want to come by the event since i will be down in that area for fbc. The water looks like it will be low on the upper river and thought i would bring my shiada to the event but not shure were it is. Is this something you are alowing boats to drop in or do you have to register for.

[franky]

Not the chirt, the first to break! :D

No registration, no fees, no structure. Just drop by. But you MUST LEARN HOW TO SPELL SCHIADA. The only thing I wanted to organize was the awards which you have to be there to be included and vote.

[franky]

How about an "American traditional breakfast", like good, left over, :) :) cold pepperoni pizza !!!! :) :)
AND A BEER!!!

Yes there will a registration at Echo Lodge UL-8.
Registration fee is one bottle of Makers Mark or Knob Creek. :supp: :D

[franky]

OK...getting close. Looks like 30+ boats. Lee said he may stop by with his 21RC.
So we all hang out on the beach at the Bluewater ias we arive/launch n the AM? Cruise in the afternoon?

[Prop Rod]

just wanted to let everyone know that i was at parker for the past 4 days and the water is flowing in the right direction, all of the bars are still there and the sand bar still works, ha ha
On a more serious note, on the way home the boat and trailer was hit on the freeway by a truck sliding across 3 lanes of traffic. Had my kids and wife all sleeping in the motor home when it happened, everyone was buckle in and it didnt even wake them up until i stopped and got out to see the damage. I thank God that it was not worse and everyone is perfectly OK!
Right now i am dealing with Insurance and trailer companies around here to get it fixed so i can get back out to parker next weekend!

Will there be a quickshade or something set up near the cantina?
Is anyone going to be up earlier than Saturday? I'll be testing and tuning at Echo on Thursday afternoon and Friday. The upper sandbar is right below Echo or there is a nice beach at the park if anyone wants to meet there.

Yeah, scared the crap out of me thats for sure, wasted a fender, tire, wheel, step and axle. I cant believe he didnt hit the boat, dont know how he missed. Just God watching over our family again and always!
I don't want to touch anything until his insurance company looks at it. And of course they were closed today. So i hope they can come out tomorrow and i can get a new axle under it. I can live with the fender and step being screwed up for one more trip this year. I will be damned if i let some one crash into my trailer and make me miss this regatta. hehe :crossx:
I'll make it one way or another! :mad:

We will be on the river Friday helping Gary H. dial in the #17 race boat. We are new to the ***boat Forum but well seasoned River Rats. We look forward to seeing a nice display of watercraft at Bluewater on Saturday and making some new aquaintances. Several of our 'Schiada' friends will join us as well.
Doug, sorry to hear about your trailer strike but happy that all is well. We will look for you at Echo. We will be in the Geser Cruiser aka Schiada Whaler.
Be safe!

[Prop Rod]

We were able to get things semi patched up today, temp fix on the trailer and we are ready to go!! :cool: If there is an ugliest trailer contest i may win! Fender all tore up step looks like crap and light broken, slapped on the spare tire and away we go.
This week kind of reminds me back when i raced stockcars, got to fix to go race the next weekend. And after looking at the trailer bring back some lost memories... oh well, most important thing, i will be there. I need to thank my Father in-law Wayne for all the help. Wouldnt have been ready without the help, BTW, he will be there with his Schiada too, its the red one to the left.

And after looking at the trailer bring back some lost memories... oh well, most important thing, i will be there. I need to thank my Father in-law Wayne for all the help. Wouldnt have been ready without the help, BTW, he will be there with his Schiada too, its the red one to the left.
<<<<<<<<<<<----------------------------------------------------
That's good news! At least the boat was unscathed too.
Do we have an updated count?
Looking forward to meeting everyone.

[Schiada Time]

Sorry guys I am not going to make it. The boat is at ART Carr's shop in Huntington Beach right now getting the Transmission fit with a spline drive and billet flywheel and reverse shift pattern. I dropped it off yesterday and last week it went to Wall strong trailers in gardena for new bearings, seals, races, get a couple of lights replaced and some wiring cleaned up. At least i can tow it now with peace of mind. I should have it back by the end of the week and then I can finish up a few last odds and ends, service the V-drive, and head for Elsinore to start playing with props. Hope you guys all have a fun weekend. Rub elbows with Uncle Joe if you get a chance. he is my uncle and has owned a Schiada as long as I can remember. By the way my campsite is available at red Rock is somebody wants it. It was like $80 bucks for two nights so if someone wants it than they can just slide me an $80 check. If not I'll have to eat it. It is campsite 23.

Predicting Parker weather is like Cell Phone coverage in Parker...it don't work! :)...
Hopefully the forecast will get better....as last weekend was the perfect weather...
Sorry to hear you won't make it Red Rocker...

[SFV2RVR]

So...whats the "official" agenda?.....is everyone meeting up at bluewater on sat. morning?....and kinda playing it from there?

[Schiada76]

That's what it looks like.
SFV, When are you leaving and which way do you go?
I'll be on the road tomorrow in the early AM leaving Encino.

[franky]

So I heard from Richard the Heli-Photo guy today. He can be at the Bluewater at 9:30-9:45 for some group shots on the beach. The heli is the bigger one so he started at $500 and we ground him down to $300. I will commit if enough folks say they will step up with $10-20. I need to let him know tomorrow so post away your thoughts. Also, plaques look good. Nine catagories. Please come by in the morning and register (no fee, donations for heli-photos and awards are good, but no worries, but remember the regatta last year was $150!! so $20 won't kill you), get your ballot and gander at the awsome rigs. Try to be launched and set up by 9:00. Hang out till noon then run up river.
Screw the weather predictions. Don't matter, never turns out like they say. It will be an awsome day no matter what.
Tic Tic Tic can't wait to see everyones rigs.

Franky, It looks like you have gone out of your way to make this an awesome event. 10 or 20 bucks for some pics of schiada owners is worth it in my opinion, on top of that the shirts and everything else is great. You have my donation for sure, lets see some other's jump in a throw a couple of bucks at this thing and show Franky that we appreciate all the work.
BTW, you say to come by in the morn to reg, Where at? Time?
Oh yeah, i am leaving first thing tomorrow morn and heading to Red Rock!!

[EZE II]

Franky count me in on the donation for the copter or whatever, but if I know you, you will end up with a couple bills extra for yourself!! Naw just kidding.

[franky]

No, you are thinking of Scott!!! Can we take turns towing him around? I look forward to gawking at your master pride and joy again, and the boat also. :)

[Schiada76]

I'm in for the helo.
Don't worry about the weather, possible scattered thunderstorms are just that. If they show it won't be for long and the river lays down waaaaaaayy quicker than the lake if the wind blows.

[franky]

I am anticipating setting up any ez up by about 8:00AM on Saturday on the beach where we will be. Look, this is total adhoc guys. Don't expect a fricken game show host outa me. I will show up and take names, hand out ballots, do the awards, hopfully sell some shirts I had made and just plain and simple hang out, have some fun and enjoy the show.
I am actually doing this just to get Hallett (Bob) to launch his damm boat!!

[mbrown2]

Franky, count me in for the Copter....try to be there by 9-9:15 on Sat morning...

[franky]

My bro in law is staying at Castle Rock Thur-Sun right on the river so we will probably launch friday afternoon and head down to the Bluewater looking for folks.
Huff, whats your number,

[franky]

So I just got back from the Naked Turtle and looked down at the cover of this months Rolling Stone Magazine and thougt "I wonder if I should hook up 5-6 hot chicks to just hang out on the beach and look good". At that momment I glanced up and saw my wife and figured naw, it's a familly thing?

[SFV2RVR]

That's what it looks like.
SFV, When are you leaving and which way do you go?
I'll be on the road tomorrow in the early AM leaving Encino.
I'll be leaving thurs. about 7pm from Van Nuys. I usually take 210-15-10-desert center. I got a place at the plantation (where the big trampaline & swing) are right past the fire station. Az side.

[76schiada]

never been to parker is there anyplace to get high octane fuel

[Hallett]

never been to parker is there anyplace to get high octane fuel Yes there is a place it' called parker oil they have
what you need. it's right there in town just ask anyone for directions
i think it's on califorina st.

[UncleJoe]

never been to parker is there anyplace to get high octane fuel
Yes. If you need fuel before you launch you can stop at Parker Oil located on the right a few blocks after you cross the river coming from Hwy 62. If coming from LHC the Shell station on your left just after the turn off to Parker Dam has AvGas. While you are on the river you can purchase AvGas at Buckskin State Park. AvGas is dry so you might want to put a few ounces of top oil in your tanks at each fill up. We use Marvel mystery oil or outboard motor oil.
Be Safe

Copter is booked for about 9:45 sat AM. He will call me when they lift off from Havi about 15 minutes in advance. You will be able to view the pics Monday on Jerry's web page and order what you want.
Tic, Tic, Tic

[Hallett]

I talked to Tina i'm going to call the security at about 6:00 am to open the back gate if you know where it's at. if you dont just use the front gate the
back gate is kinda tricky to find. if your coming from the south it's past the
casino. if your coming from the north like from havasu it's before the casino
i suggest if you dont know the back way in use the front. :crossx:

[franky]

[franky]

Looks like we got the weekend rain (spittle) this morning. No rain forcast for Saturday, just clouds and 80's. Sunday, sunny 85ish.
See you all tomorrow.

[ColeTR2]

Yep the weather is great up here. Hook up the Schiada's and get on the road!

[RT21]

On the 40 now, heading that way. :)

[Highlimit9000]

got stuck at the fire house. dam was looking forward to seeing some boats

[RT21]

Over night storm knocked out power at my storage unit. I can't even get in to hook up the boat. :crossx:
Ill keep trying, might have to show up boatless :cry:

[ColeTR2]

It was great seeing all the high performance Schiada on the Parker Strip. I know many of you didn't show because of concerns about the potential noise ticket. I'm sure the local businesses enjoy having you that did show! This time of year is slow for many of them with summer being over and it's not quite snowbird season. Parker is a small town and your visit makes a difference in our local economy and for the people that work here. Hope you guys had a good time and will do it again next year.

[Hallett]

We had a great time wanted to say thanks to Frank for all the work
he did to make this happen. it was great to see all of you guys there
we just got the boat cleaned up thanks again frank & richard harmen
for the offer to store the boat until the rain stoped that was very
nice of you.

[EZE II]

Franky you guys went over the top!! Much appreciated!
Thanks for the good times. I owe ya!!!

[SK48]

Bob, I went to the Casino in the Poontoon boat today and
retrieved your anchor. I will make sure it is in my truck next
weekend. See you at the Enduro.
If you want we are having a garage party and bbq after the
races, and you and Lisa are welcome.

[mbrown2]

Thanks Franky for coordinating...definitely a great time and some nice boats....definitely a nice sight seeing all the Schiada's run from Bluewater to the Dam...

[mondorally]

What a great time. Thanks to everyone who had a hand at putting this together. How many boats did we end up with?

Thanks for putting this together Franky, we had a great time and it's always nice to put faces to the names here. Nice turnout beautiful boats and great crowd.
When we left the dam I stopped to fuel up back at Echo. Right when I pulled up to the buoy my lower pully assembly fell into the bilge! :2purples: :cry:
I am happy about the timing though. :D Maybe the belt was a little too tight? :idea:

I think 38687 beat me to the punch. :D
At least I was running for three days and mines an easy fix.

[UncleJoe]

Thanks to Franky and all the folks that helped with and participated in the 'Schiada NOTA Regatta'. Condolences to those that could not make it.
What a great show of some of the best watercraft ever assembled. Every boat had its own personality. It seems so appropriate to see all of those 'River Cruisers' on the river.
I have some nice pictures, however I have spent the last 30 minutes trying to resize them so that I could post them. I'll get through this and post a few later.
We enjoyed meeting and talking with many of you.
UncleJoe

[Schiada Time]

Sorry I missed it. Glad to hear you guys all had a great time. My parents said they had a blast. I will be at next years Schiada regatta.
Red Rocker

[franky]

It was a great turnout, about 28 boats. I was a little nervous early in the morning but by 10:00, they were rolling down the river and filling the beach. That must have been a site sitting on the shore watching (and hearing) 25 Schiadas fly by the afternoon. It was great to see everyone and their boats. They were all winners but just for fun, a few got awards.
The award winners were:
Sickest Engine - EZE - Steve Hatch - '06 21RC Brummet twin turbo
Sickest Boat - EZE - Steve Hatc - '06 21RC Brummet twin turbo
Trailer Queen - Hallett - Bob Stanfield - '95 21RC
First to Break - 38676 - Ed Derenger
Best Restoration - Franky - Frank Doerfler, Jr. - '86 21RC
Best Original - Uncle Joe - Joe Enfield - '84 Whaler
Best Outboard - Tony D - Tony Dambrosio - '02 21RC 250 Optimax
Best V-Drive - 05Schiada - Steve Yoder '06 21RC
Best Outdrive - Randy Wilson
I still have some shirts for RedRocker (2) and Corleone (1) and about 5 extra that if I sold it would be good. Anyone want a nice shirt?

[Schiada76]

Franky,
If you have a XXL I'll take one for my buddy.

[Schiada Time]

I would still love those shirts. Let me know where to send a check.
thanks

[WannabeRacing]

Steve Yoder?
Is he on the boards here? Is that the Mall Front guy?

NOTA Regatta pics

[franky]

Uncle Joe, I especially like the 3rd picture with that red 21RC in the foreground. Your OK for an old guy with a beater Schiada. Kidding man, that whaler is the bomb. THANKS for making it and posting those pics.
