Congratulations! Any issues? I thought you were waiting on Admiral availability?

He probably knew the Admiral would not stand for going 55 MPH, even if for a few seconds!!

Well...I told her that this way I could make sure there where no issues with the boat and if something came up I had the week to get it fixed before she came home!!! :lol:

HAHAHAHAH :lol:

No her parents where in town for the weekend, they are moving down here... :shock:
So I spent the weekend working on Launching and Loading at their Slip. Was good beacause no one was around and I could take my time and not get other people upset if it took longer than 10 mins. But getting the handle on things!!!

Oh, it can't be that bad! Can it?!?! Na, they are good hearted people, and they havea private slip so...I think I can handle being around them and not worrying about dealing with all of those other people launching their boats. That is until I get better!

I dont know about all you "eatsern northerners" but I took my new 200 horizon out in the ocean today and it was an absolutely great day!

You dont have to live in Florida or South Carolina to be out by now! Here in Vancouver BC we have very mild winters and it will very rarely snows. Today was 22 degrees celcius, which is about 73 f,.

Nice to be out again! Just thought I would share my day with everyone considering that I am reading that back east is still frozen. Not here!

Glad to hear about your outing. How do you like your 200? We just got ours two weeks ago and only been out last weekend. Going this weekend, first time on it for the wife.

I got the phone call. The boat is in the water. Boating season officially starts this weekend regardless of the weather. There is nothing wrong with wearing 3 sweat shirts, winter gloves, and a scarf to go boating.

Mine is out of storage today, getting a fresh bottom paint job for going in May 1st. Picking it up Saturday to wax and clean her up. The last of the snow should be gone tomorrow. No ice on the lakes but we are expecting 1 to 2 inches of fresh snow Wednesday. But it won't stop the launch. The temps here are steadily rising into the 60's by the weekend and averaging out into the high 50's next week. I'm stoked!!!!
