[TooMuchFun]

Looks like Sunday for me, the wife, and two younger kids ... launch at Lake Mead marina ... off to Sandy Cove for a look and LVHB beach for the day. Watching the weather ... Sat. is looking to be a bit windy.

[PUMP 'HER']

Think Cracy racin was looking for somebody to go with him. SOmething about being unsure of his "mechanic". Cracy where are you?

[LIV4RIV]

I will be going out of callville on saturday and sunday to start my season on the lake.hope to meet some of you out on the h20.

What is the ramp like at Caulville now? How many lanes are open and how is the water depth there in the marina?

Also, I have never launched at Lake Mead Marina, How do you get there? Is it any better than Caulville?

Lake Mead marina. Small ramp, not very busy. My favorite, no waiting! I go from Henderson to Boulder city, make a left by the Albertsons? (I think-some store) Follow the road down till you see lake and turn left again. Horsepower cove/Las vegas bay is immediately on your right, Lake Mead marina about 1.5 miles further up the road.

[its all good]

DICUDMORE, DID YOU GET THE NEW BOAT YET? IF SO WHERE ARE THE PICTURES?

not yet....pics will come.
I expect it completed any day. 2 weeks ago they were putting the seats and upholstery in. Haven't talked to them since, but I figure if it was done they would call and say BRING MONEY

[ex cracker]

The wife and I most likely will be out Sunday. Pretty much the same route as everyone else.

[OutCole'd]

Allright, I am going out on Sunday from Caulville I guess. Not sure for how long, at least a couple of hours. Hopefully be there between 10:00- 11:00.

Look... or listen for me. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[its all good]

Where are the pictures?so we know what to look for

[OutCole'd]

I could not upload any new ones because I am having some problems at Hotboatpics.com, so here is an old one.http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/44IM001532.jpg

[Rude]

sunday around 11:00?? i may make a couple of calls tomorrow and see if i can get a co-pilot. the wife and little'un are out of town 'till sunday afternoon.

[Rude]

i still need to change the water/fuel seperator. does walmart carry them and are they all pretty much universal?

[TooMuchFun]

They're not all the same quality, and it is better to match part to engine with certified marine parts ... call Offshore (or any boat shop as you are simply buying a new part in a sealed box) and pick up the recommended Mercruiser part from them. They're open on weekends for parts.

TooMuchFun

[Rude]

i picked up the seperator today so i guess i can't use that as an excuse for not going tomorrow http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif outcole'd, give me a call if you read this before you head out tomorrow,
810-2473. i may end making the trip solo and i'd really like to hook up with someone that's planning on leaving from callville. i'm planning to be there about the same time as you so it could work out pretty good. hope to see ya's on the water http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

[OutCole'd]

Rude, I will call you in the morning. I heard from another friend that the road to Caulville is torn up and in bag shape. Has anyone been ther in the last few weeks? I would hate to put a bunch of rock chips on the brand new trailer.

What about Hemmingway?

Where is everyone launching from Sunday??

[beer hunter]

You guys have fun and be safe today http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Oh, be sure to take lots of pics and post them http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Trouble Maker]

I'll be up there around 1pm at Calville breaking in my new camshaft... I'll be curious to see the water level....

[Rude]

due to a tread seperation on my truck tire and lack of a co-pilot i didn't make it to the lake today. so PLEASE post some pics. after takeing care of my tire situation i thought about going solo but have never done it that way and couldn't convince myself that i'd be able to get the job done. so since i'll be home all day today, the boat will get cleaned, washed, waxed, vacuumed, caressed, stroked, fueled, talked to nicely, started, re-covered and put away. DAMN i'd rather be at the lake!!!!!!!

anyone going next weekend http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[kevnmcd]

Well, at least sit in it and have a beer. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif You should have just gone down to the ramp and hitched a ride with one of the others. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[TooMuchFun]

It can be a hassle putting in solo, and takes more time ... put it in, get it started, ask someone to back your trailer in some more, back it off and tie at the dock, go park the truck, etc. and etc.; and then same to take back out ... but once you do it once, you've talked yourself into being able to boat any time you want regardless of who else may want to go http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif. Just do it!!!!!!!

TooMuchFun

[OutCole'd]

James, you missed a great day, That water was perfect. Looked around for some familiar faces or boats and only saw a bunch of Baja's.

The Magic Kicked Ass.
Ran it up to 70 on my GPS and had a long way to go.

I will try to post some pics later.

How did your day go?

[Rude]

When you go, I would avoid Callville bay for a while. It is 5 miles of a muddy dirt road. I drove the whole thing going about 10 miles an hour. I do not want a bunch of rock chips on my new trailer.

The water was perfect, you need to get your boat out soon.

As far as speeds, I know a guy with the same set up and he is doing 83-84 tops.

I was just up there breaking in a new cam...I freshed up my engine over the winter...It's running like a rapped-ape again. Hoping to be back out there this weekend if I don't have to work. That road does suck!!! Whats the next best ramp to use??? Lake Mead marina?

Rude, why didn't you tell me on the phone that you wouldn't go if you didn't have copilot? Now I feel like asshole of the month. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif Especially when I was thinking how nice it would have been cruising along in 25 Daytona w/ HP 500 instead of shoveling dirt in my side yard. Damn, I should have went. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Isn't that a given? http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

[Rude]

i hope you don't REALLY feel that way kurt. that wasn't my intention when i made that comment. the boating season has barely even started, i'm not worried about one weekend. if i wanted to go bad enough i would have gone. i don't know how many times you've told me how you've launched your ride by yourself. i was most concerned with holding up the line of other boaters at the launch ramp. i would suspect we'll be heading out to the water in the next couple of weeks and you're more than welcome to come along (as long as you leave the shovel at home http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif )

[digginfordollars]

I debated myself all night and morning about going but figured I better get some yard work done. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif Even had the OK to go. I never go anywhere without a shovel, never know when a hole needs to be dug. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif I guess it's in my blood?

http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif and now that you mention it, i'm pretty sure i've seen a shovel appear out of your boat. i seem to remember using it to dig a couple of holes at the first regatta when we camped on mojave.
