Based on this thread, if anyone deserves a lucky streak, it's definitely LVchris!

Maybe this is why?

Finally christened her... altiva (al) Alicia=the admiral (ti) Tia= my daughter (va) Treva = our daughter.

This should help, I know it couldn't hurt!

Haaa, you could name it: "For Sale"

Haha...ric's boat would be like "For Sale #5" right?

It's funny, she is only my second boat...and I am completely happy with her.

Please for your own sake and the safety of your family do this procedure!! http://boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/rename.htm And I don't recommend buying the cheapest champagne you can find....maybe the second cheapest will do. Hopefully this will put an end to your bad luck streak

Followed that procedure, covered the name, etc. Wasn't the cheapest bottle (ok second cheapest). And she never had a name before...unless you count Four Winns... Blue Water Marine Inc.

I like it! Just did the same to mine last weekend.

Well it happened again...I think.

After a nice memorial day weekend on her...ok wait back up.
Here's the timeline:

Decide to go camping for two nights at the Temple Bar area of Lake Mead for Memorial day months ago. See that the winds will be pretty bad but we had already packed Altiva full

so I drag her all the way there and see that the winds are worse than I thought and have no thought of easing up. So I decide to drag her back home, good decision I think.

So Sunday morning I see that Callville bay, a closer marina has some calm winds reported for morning, I drag her there and launch. What great service and freindly staff there this weekend. I had a little trouble getting my boat started and no one pushed me to get it out of the way, they were courteous and gave me a little time to figure out what the issue was a correct it (wire disconnected from ignition switch probably from draging her down that temple bar road) While we were waiting the park ranger kept my 15 month old entertained and prevented her from throwing a fit while waiting.

And we headed for Sandy Cove. I get our gear unpacked and we set up camp before the winds get strong again.

Now as for Sandy cove...I really wish that if people wanted to go clubbing they would stay in vegas.. Bayliner named Ultimate Sports blasted music well past 3:00AM keeping us all awake as we tried to have a peaceful nights sleep on the beach. they returned about 10:00AM Monday and started all over again. Not sure why some boaters think everyone for miles wants to hear what they are listening too? Then some rock star (We heard he was Vince Neil) showed up and was blasting his music as well.

So we come home early and as I am unloding I notice this:

It seems to be coming from the top of the bellows, not the cracks you see in the photo

Any idea what that is? Truth is my mechanic will be looking at it, but I would like to know what to tell him is wrong. I can see the bellows need replaced, but what is that liquid dripping out?

All in all it was a good learning trip. What did I learn?
1. We packed too much stuff
2. Always bring extra water (we ran out due to a packing miscommunication)
3. We love having a transom shower, we all showered and brushed our teeth which felt very good out in the desert.

I just took a 3 day trip. What did I learn?
1. I initially packed perfectly despite my GF arguing with me the whole time.
2. My GF last minute self invited her friend and her bf. They didn't bring anything like I told them to. Them being there ruined my plans and I had to stay at marina at night to bring them back so they could goto a motel (and pick up in the am). They ate all our food in 2 days, drank most my beer, and donated a whopping $10 and said I was rude.
3. I've been talking to the GF today about her moving out back into her house. I otherwise have not said more than 10 words to her since Monday.

I feel ya rick, I was told by our guests that I was to inexperienced to make a decision about wether we should go out or not, as well as a slew of other things. Any idea what my leak is?
