Spent half the day working on gear

MORE LIKE 30ISH DAYS ><>,

Ok, Mike. I'll buy that!:love:

it better come soon because these consecutive
snow storms are getting the best of me

i pushed six inches off the dam driveway
took a long nap because i was real tired from digging out
a stuck vehicle 3 times ...it happened (CRAP !)
the day before.....

S0....I wake up ....and all that snow was back AGAIN :hs:

I'll put in May 1st, April is just a little to early for me. 2 months is nothing. be here before you know it.

Piemma, lets make it a point to meet up in the bay this spring. Good time to swim some bunker and BS.

I'm with ya!! If you go to the TFCTFN lets start planning it then.

For the hell of it I looked at the temps (see attached)

Ocean temp just offshore is 37 deg. If you make the run to hydro it is 42 degrees. BUT....if you have the range and can run another 120 miles beyond hydro:eek: it is 72 degrees! Nice break too.


Looking forward to July.

BUT....if you have the range and can run another 120 miles beyond hydro:eek: it is 72 degrees! Nice break .

You first.... :smash:

You first.... :smash:

lets go, I'll throw in a hundo for fuel:jester:

to what, get to the mudhole? :love:

It's a little lumpy out there today.:yak6:

to what, get to the mudhole? :love:


When the bay runs red....

to what, get to the mudhole? :love:

That's the truth!

with the cost of diesel rising you might not make the mudhole and back.
might be an interesting season if it keeps going up in price.......

George, I hear ya. I started "squirreling" away gas money last Fall. I could see the handwriting on the wall.

Deep trips=deep pockets

knocked 2 knots off my cruise last year to gain mileage, might have to knock a few more knots off this year.
Went from 1.0 mpg to 1.2 mpg

Hook up a flowscan and find the sweet spot on fuel burn for the long runs. Your probably pretty close as it is. But it adds up for those that use their boat.

I keep vasolating on getting a bigger but the cost of running it over what I have is hard to swallow. One week I am full steam ahead and the next I plan to keep what I have. Getting old sucks, I can't make up my mind.

Maybe we could get one of the offshore lobster boats to tow us out to the edge......

New fuel gauge for this yearhttp://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y250/thefishingfreak/20140328_125226_zpsc80c33aa.jpg

Got my Yami dealer putting in a new timing belt on Tuesday. Painting the bottom Wednesday and splash on the weekend.

Paulie , how many hours do you have ????

Timing Belt ????

I hate it when you enter a bermuda triangle energy vortex
and then your timing belt gets all F-d up :hs:

No, my timing belt is fine.Yamaha recommend changing the belt at 1000 engine hours. I'm at 900+ so I'm doing it as preventive maintenance.
I also change the thermostat, water pump and impeller every year. Don't have to but i run a lot in the middle of the night. Cheap insurance and, so far, I have never had a problem.

I might be right behind you. Just a few minor cosmetic things to finish up and touch up bottom paint and I should be good also. Maybe this weekend.

I was waiting until 1st week of may but im not sure I can wait that long. I itching pretty bad to get in. I did all my service when I had the dealer winterize it. I just need to clean and wax and im god.
