Lets hear it, what did you break this weekend...

[Throttle]

besides the bank at the gas pumps...

[Mrs.Racer277]

Your window ;) :D

[SPOCKER]

:idea: skag :idea: prop :idea: bank .. the top three things

[beaverretriever]

I lost my favorite beer koozie. It said "river rat" on it. It was bad ass and cost me 99 cents at Food City in Havasu. Damn I miss that thing. It flew out of the boat at about 70mph.:( I have had that thing for 3 yrs and it never missed a trip. E tear. :(

[Jyruiz]

Well, I didn't break anything, but while inspecting and preping the boat, I noticed some type of oily fluid leaking out of my drain plug. Well, it was only my powersteering hose clamp that was loose. Thats why, one always has to go thru the boat before launch.

[DMOORE]

Found drive oil in the bilge of the starboard motor. The reservoir was empty. Hopefully just a leaky fitting (fingers crossed). Will take a better look tomorrow.

[XtrmWakeborder]

Bearing went out on the trailer..... I didn't notice till I was home though.:(

[YeLLowBoaT]

30 ft tape measure... went sliding off the roof.

[Phat Matt]

I had to get new impellers and back flush the system. I hit sand on Friday night and got them replaced Saturday morning Thanks to AJ and the crew over at Savage.
I think I will start a new thread on that later. :D

[79centurion]

starter fell off the picklefork and couldnt put it back on(have to remove engine to replace it). Buddy bent his prop, ripped off his water pickup and knocked his rudder loose on his flat bottom.

WOW SOUND LIKE A WEEKEND OF HELL :mad:

[Decided Advantage]

It was a tough weekend on this end. Went to the funeral of a 20 year old friend on Friday, the result of a car accident earlier in the week.
So it was pretty tame on the water. I broke the top on a dozen Coronaritas over the weekend. No hangovers, played some games with the kids. Had a sad moment when they pulled a game out to play and found Josh's name on one of the old score cards.
Wear your seatbelts. If Josh had been wearing his seatbelt, he could have been on the boat with us on the weekend.

[purrfecttremor]

Blew the amp for the subs sat. morning so went w/out sterio the rest of the day and then had to bring it home to replace it:eek:

[scarabrick2]

Within 10 min, hit a rock pile at fukin echo bay on lake mead, new labbed 5 blade maximus. put boat on trailer and had a piece of small rebar puncture the center tire on our triple axle trailer. other than that all was well..
Oh yah a great person named Mark who owns a 36 specture took us (4 ppl) for a speed run.. All I can say is WWWOOOOOWWW. ran it up to 115 one way and then 121 the other way. He said he needs a bigger wheel because he's on the rev limiter. Never gone over 90 ( v btm) before and 120(TRUE CAT) is a big difference.

[RitcheyRch]

Didnt break anything <knock on wood>

[ahhell]

didnt have a chance to...had to work:(

[Liberator TJ1984]

Nothing :D
Due to torrential Rains never took the boat out of the garage :D
Did pull the cover back far enough to find 9 newborn kittens in the left sponson though :rolleyes:

[havaduner]

I'm not sure if its broken, buy my liver sure is hurtin this morning;)

[phebus]

So far nothing, but my weekend isn't over yet. :D

[phebus]

Oh wait, I did bend something over, but luckily didn't break her. :D

[Not So Fast]

I broke my thumbnail while working on the boat in the garage Saturday, does that count :) :) NSF

[VEGASBABY]

Drank, Drank more, slept,woke up Drank,danced,Drank........:sleeping: Just broke my bank!

[98 Vector 21]

I had to Break -down and go home on Monday afternoon :confused:

[Hardly Satisfied]

besides the bank at the gas pumps...
Nothing, worked lots of OT :D

[mdunn01]

Well I had a very good weekend with the Cole, the only thing I had a small issue with was a little bit of overheating( in the no wake zones) with my boat which i hope to slove this week, should be a easy fix. The boat ran great on the water when I was running her.

[boatsnblondes]

Nothing, kept it in the garage all weekend, too many lake lice.....but on the upside, made serious OT yesterday at work....glad you all had a good time, that you all made it home safe....have a good week....:D

[GHT]

Nothing on this end (knock, Knock).... Well I think I sunk my liver..:D

[Mrs. 20]

I bruised myself up pretty good when I fell on my ass in front of everyone on the back of my boat. Good times;)

[QuickJet]

On the way home I noticed the trailer was swaying. I slowed down a little then headrd a scrape and then a BAM!!! The hitch pin broke off sending the boat into and under the bumper of the truck. Took out a pretty good chunk of paint on the right front bond seam. Scuffed up the bow from the plastic bumper cover as well. That part will buff out. Hopefully I can get the paint fixed before Fathers Day. :(

Ouch....sorry to hear that.
Any pics? :D

Same here........I know what you're going through.:D
Spent the week end with Jewels in Co for her son's graduation. Get some sky diving time Sunday.:jawdrop:

[Cole Trickle]

Lost about 600 rpm's and 8 mph between Friday and Saturday. We knew it wasn't right so we limped back to the trailer and called it a day early.
I dropped the boat off with Chris at Prestige and he thinks one cylinder is down. I have my fingers crossed that it's a spark plug wire,Fouled plug or perhaps an injector:( :confused: :)

Thats funny....I thought I was the only that gets attached to a koozie. I have mine for 13 years and it has never missed a river trip and has had a lot of beers in it. It is funny to see a decade of river pics that have me holding the same damn koozie. Kind of a family member. Wierd!

[Crossbow_CA]

Got caught up in some wakeboard boat waves and sucked water into the engine locking it up. Got towed back to beach, pulled the plugs got the water out and found out I sheared the dist gear pin. Put in a SS coter pin I just happened to have in the boat and made it back to the dock. New shear pin Monday and back on the water for a full day of FUN :D

[79centurion]

WOW SOUND LIKE A WEEKEND OF HELL :mad:
At least I had the daycruiser out there to have fun for the rest of the weekend

[LandSpeedRacer]

I broke my old record for those paper wrist bands you get stuck on you when you go to Drag Boat Races, buy alchohol, go to bars, etc, I wound up with 4 on Saturday . . . . . actually Sunday morning :messedup:
LSR

[Racey]

Got to the launch ramp at about 2pm friday to go boating with one of my buddies/customers, batteries dead, he left the switch on all. Tried getting a jump start from a guy on the ramp but it wouldn't get enough charge to start. Had to pull the boat back up to the shop, hooked it up to the charger for a few mins, put it on the hose, started right up. disconnected the charger screwed with some other stuff, turned the hose back on, started right up fine on its own. Got back down to the water (about 4pm now) no starty:mad:.
Back up the hill to the shop again, called auto parts but they didn't have that size battery in stock (group 29/30) ended up having to machine the battery hold downs to take the group 24 Deep Cycles we had in stock at the shop. back to the water (almost 5:30 now) After that it all went great, except for cutting the crap out of my feet on those damn clam shells at middle point, my feet are sore today.:(

[Hotcobra270]

lost my box anchor..
Ohh yeah, broke one the latch off my cooler..

[QuickJet]

Quick...which pin broke?
The pin that holds the drop receiver in place. The whole thing slid out. As a quick fix I had to use a 3/8 drive ratchet handle, some tape and zip ties. I got to a Home Depot about 20 miles away and bought two more pins (one for spare). I hand to hammer the ratchet out and then slid the new pin in place.

[Nord]

I had to replace my back-up battery with a new one (100 bucks).........other than that.....pretty flawless weekend!!!

[MR HARLEY]

Broke nothing! :)

[CampbellCarl]

I-10 West around 1:30pm at about Morongo? Saw you and started to stop but looked like you had a big crew! Now I guess I should have stopped......had an extra drop and hitch pin. Next time I'll stop!

[bunny 166]

Good weekend here--our only loss was before we even left for the river....dogs unzipped our soft-side cooler and ate all the carne asada, lunch meat, hot dogs and shredded cheese...:mad: Back to the store I went, little shits....:rolleyes:

I had a River Rat coolie that was dated 1972. The kids were playing with it last year and down river it went.:(

I was on 99 south between Fresno and Bakersfeild. And I had no crew except my 14 year old son and I. Thank god I know how to "rig" shit to get me off the freeway ;) :D
Glad the damage wasn't any worse.
I was scarred as to what I might find when I went to the back of the truck. I was expecting fiberglass and a messed up tail gate. Luckily neither was the case.
Sucks about the paint though. Not too easy to match it :(

[rvr_d8]

I broke a head unit :D
You also broke some Ego's!!:D
Hey I'm sorry to hear of the breakage...:( ..we thought you ran out of gas.
We never went up to watch the Fireworks at the AVI.....Gary didn't have the back light and Eddies didn't work for us. Most everyone crashed early (midnight) too much fun & Sun....that's the story we are sticking with!!

[atomickitn]

we broke .........open two new bottles of captian , and they are now empty, damm that sucks:D

[hot4daRVR]

Broke?
A heart-- It had to be done;)

[burtandnancy2]

Racey, are you sure you didn't step on one of those dreaded zebra mussels? Those are the ones they opened up all the Cal ag stops for...

[rvr_d8]

I broke wind :D
OMG!!!!:eek:
That's what that horrible stink was!!!:idea:

[Throttle]

Your window ;) :D
lol, nice one hunny...

[Devil's Advocate]

Nope, If you would have smelled mine, you would have probably just thought there was a giant rosebush nearby http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/5227/whistleon7.gif (http://imageshack.us)
LOL...:D
That whistling smiley is my all time favorite.

[sorry dog]

I think I broke my colon.
Brown would be proud.

[zudnic]

Did'nt really break anything that could'nt be fixed.... My Dad came out for the weekend and likes to drive, so let him. He has not figured out jet always on and he was headed straight for the dock. Calmly told him to reverse and slow down and also nicely side slip for docking. He turned off the key, um no steering, got on the bow to stop it; but got a nice gash in my ankle and rub rail rubber pulled out a little......... :D

[DUNDUN]

blown head gasket. mehh, fixable. haha

[GN2RVR]

My buddies ford 6.0 lost a head gasket on our way to Havi, My daytona lost one of the motors , my buddies boat blew up an imco outdrive. We waited two hours to launch on sat and never got in. so I went to walmart and bought a blow up pool. I think the kids had a better time in that than the boat. Delt with a bunch of knuckle heads but still had a great weekend.

[XtrmWakeborder]

Add to the bearing a hub, and possible spindle. doh!

[raped southwind]

lets see launched at 5am fri in havasuu made it into the channel set up camp then at about 7 took the gurls out for a ride.. made it 100 yrds out of tompson bay and dropped the motor. came home monday and found i broke a rod off the crank, pulled the rod out of the piston, and put a hole the size of 2 golf balls in the # 2 cylinder wall... none the less time to do a 557 stroker.. still had a blast..

[widowmaker]

some drunk azz broke my shifter cable on my 21', sucks not having reverse.... Thank god Campbell's had the right size 43bc in stock

[BBFnordic]

I ran out of gas on sunday and was a good ways away from the boat landing. A friend of mine had a bass boat with 40 hp merc. on it and he pulled me back. It was a 2 1/2 hr ride back:eek: Needless to say, the girlfriend had to drive us back home:messedup: Oh yeah, some a$$hole at the sandbar started laughing at me for being towed. The funny thing was, he didnt even have a boat. He was one of those guys that bums a ride off of other people then walks around with their chest poked out like they own the boat. Its dosent really matter, it just struck a nerve at the time and I wanted to cram his face in the dirt:D

[XtrmWakeborder]

Hello new axle...doh doh!

[jag2]

Broke a streering cable on the ole Jet, haulin ass coming out of the canyon from the dam. No its not Piro and i didnt sink :eek: did a few donuts and then steered all the way back to LMM with my feet :D

[wright27]

Two bearings on the trailer. My bilge still worked, but not good enough to get the water out of the boat. Filled up with water and shorted out the fuel pump and the motor for my engine hatch.

[Riomouse911]

Scuffed a rim really good and punched a hole in a Rhino tire sidewall by banging the rear wheel against a rock... other than that, we got off cheap.

[EAZYKILLER2006]

:confused: besides the bank at the gas pumps...
we have the boat here in cali cus of a lil accident
turns out never bring make-up aboard a boat, is a good rule:(
the bottle of make-up fell down where the sub woofers are:( and ripped a hole in one, then:mad: when the bottle broke, it shorted out the amps... and WELL, the dvd monitor isnt working either (darn makeup)
so the boat was in the shop yesterday (HAVI) to fix all the gel coat chips about 5 or six small ones...(ADVANTAGE does a great job matching the paint!!!)
and now the boat is home today in cali :) BUT, will be at AL n EDS in ontario tomorrow :D to fix the stereo stuff
then we will take it back to havi sun...
