The Island is hopping again. Went yesterday for their first band of the season. This Thursday is the first drags for the season. Hope to see you guys out there.(Racing or drinking)
For those of you that are going to race out there this year, let me know and I will try to get some video footage of your runs.

Likewise Mike. We will definitly have to have a couple on the water soon. I bet your itching to get out there. I'll try to get ahold of you again when we get out on the water.

Well got the boat back. Hit the water with it on mon and tues.(my last two day off work, Back today). Looks good. Ran good , have a little overheat at idle. Pulling the raw water pump off tonight to check it and rebuild it. I found a mounting bolt loose so the belt was way loose Tightened it up helped a little so I would think its do for a rebuild. Depending on my girls hockey play off and My oldest HS graduation on sat.I should be out there this weekend.

Glad to hear you got wet. Sounds like a minor problem, could be worse you know. We're keeping an eye on the weather. That will determine if we make it out this weekend. If we do I'll give you a call.

I will be running at the Island tomorrow Since nobody got to run yesterday I was wondering if you still made it out. If so, which boat was yours?

Just curious if you guys have much water there. Group of us were going to go but there usually not much water to begin with.
Drop me a line tell us how the water is .

Water level is fine. I run with a 31' American Offshore Cat(9000lbs.) and he has no problems. You do however, have to pay attention to where you are and where your going. Grass lake is real shallow. I will be out there again this Thursday, hollar if your going to make it.
