No pic to share, just the bummer that my 318 is back out of the water to replace both raw water pumps. Drag. Poor winterization job. It's something I usually do, but I'm actually glad I paid to have it done last year because I can blame someone other than myself. |

Finally, finally, finally.... I finally made it out to our boat for it's first run of 2017! I know, a little late... She hadn't been run since late September 2016. All I can say is, thank goodness for "Seafoam"!!!! I don't put a drop of gas in the tank without an ounce of Seafoam! Took all of 2 mins for her to crank up. The battery even still had a full charge! Anyway, so here is a little video of my late evening cruise thru one of the coves near our boat storage on Medina Lake, outside of San Antonio, TX. Beautiful evening! https://youtu.be/3bKrnty9-JM |

You're the first iFourWinns member that I have seen who has a driverless boat. Congrats on getting back out on the water. |

no picture for me from the weekend. Because some piece of SCUM stole my prop while i was inside of the gas station getting beer, beef jerkey, ice. Yea i was not happy. Yes i reported it to the manager and they took notes and are going to review the tapes and get back to me. In the mean time i at least have my other prop and have ordered a McGuard Prop Lock to install tomorrow. We plan to be on the water fathers day weekend |

Been a slow start to the season for us. Got the boat in on Memorial day weekend but between the weather and life, it hasn't left the slip since. Last Saturday was awesome temp wise but with 40mph gusts we stayed tied to the dock. My first mate doesn't care if we leave the dock as long as he gets to be on the boat. We have been making good use out of the pontoon during the week this season though and had some great sunsets. |

Sorry to here I hope when the station gets back to you, the police catch them. |

A little choppy, but the boat did well considering the conditions. Needless to say, it was an abbreviated sea trial. You should recognize the marina and launch ramp. |

Yep, ER. Did not have time for Pearl's this time, but we are up that way many times in the summer boating and camping. Probably have dinner there in August when we are at Torch for 9 days. |

Took a chance on the weather last Saturday and took my folks out on Lake Michigan. The weather won. We had to take refuge at a bar for an hour and a half while it stormed. Luckily we got a hour break in the weather to get off the water and back on land. Here are some cool pics of the storm that I got on our way back to the marina.

Well if the annoying ads weren't bad enough, now Photobucket wants to charge for 3rd party hosting. I guess I need a new photo hosting site. What is everyone using other than PB? Flickr? |
