Jun 16^th, 2010 at 8:32pm Went to New Orleans for the first time last weekend for a little vacation. Had a great time checking out all the sights and food in the town. But since I missed a weekend, it feels like forever since I've been on the boat. I've been out every weekend since February lol.

Reply #3 - Jun 16^th, 2010 at 9:41pm will do what time are you planning on picking up the boat. If I can go gas up when you pick up I will show you the boat at least.

Got out and did some wake boarding, some tubing and a lot of floating in the water. Nobody got too sunburnt either, so that's all good. Girlfriend actually backed the boat in to the storage unit for the first time, so that's a good thing.

We had three boats and five jetskis at the bend. Barbecued, had a few cold ones and swam. On the way back in, we broke two jetskis and I scrambled my lower unit. Then I tried to rip the bumper off my suburban with a parking barier towing the club boat. In spite of the carnage, had a great time.

Looking for another boat.... anyone want to buy a slightly crippled Contessa?

sorry to hear about your mechanical nightmare. If I had money i would be interested in your cruiser but I don't have any extra money so good luck. it may be cheaper to just get an outdrive. you can find them on craigslist. also call my mechanic friend if its a mercrusier he usually has a few used ones. you can also try tahoe boats in manor it is the closest thing I have seen to a junk yard for boats.

Reply #14 - Jun 22^nd, 2010 at 8:07am Oh man, sorry to hear that Owtlaw. She may be old, but she's still a nice boat so that's too bad. Good luck with the new boat purchase. I bet you are pretty excited about that part.
