:banghead: :bonk: :bonk: :bonk: Everything is ready to go, last minute checks...

I lost my drain plug and we have a 9am start. :rolleyes: :banghead:

I hope West Marine has one. They open at 8am and the launch is about 5 minutes away.

It is going to be interesting. Seems the fella from last year that had the 90 MPH Nordic, didn't like being outrun by the 120 MPH Spectre. So now he has a 40-ish Outerlimits and twin 1200 BHP Blower 588's. #6 drives etc.

$6K per prop. Runs 125.

So, when I am at my wits end, trying to hang onto the wheel at high 50's he will be passing me at over twice my speed :rolleyes:

I need to hang with blow boaters... :(

Should be fun tho. :D

...if I can find a "plug" ...

you don't need a plug if your moving...

it's the stopping part that's an issue... :eek: :)

How 'bout a big ole dab of caulk?

Better put it in tonite so it has time to set.

Drive a piece of broom handle in it with a smear of caulk and keep moving. :eek!:

We had a little fun run up here a couple weeks ago. 45 boats, 82 miles. We cut a corner or two but we ran with the big dogs and it was an absolute blast!

Do whatever you gotta do...
