After all these years I still want to touch this thing with my penis every time I see it

Been trying to snap some in water pics for awhile.

Been trying to snap some in water pics for awhile.

im unsure how but i've never anchored over there, is it mud or sand or rock or what

 

[MrMezger996]

That part near town homes is all sand, nicest I have found by far.

A couple laws changed recently looks like your sticker is now good till September 30th rather than June, and titles are not required for boats under 22 feet, I’m going to scoop up a title less wave runner while people still think they are worthless

I went and looked at these junks today, not sure if want, one runs good, one will pop off if you dump gas in the carbs but won’t stay running and there’s no trailer, but they are cheap

My wife’s like those colors suck, lol welcome to boating in the 90’s

 

[MrMezger996]

Well had my first ever run in with any

type of Law Enforcement on the water. Got stopped by Mchenry County Sheriff in no wake heading south to locks. Had no idea my registration was expired(6/30/18). Only received a warning, and he Officer Castallano was a really cool guy.

mchenry county ftw. they're good dudes. not just trying to be dicks like the dnr dicks.

Yea, really cool officers. Makes a lot more sense to have expiration at end of Sept.

Saw this last night while exploring a channel on the waverunner. It was named "Redneck Ranger". [emoji38]Sorry about the pic, shot directly into the sun and had to lighten it up.

A pair of cheap skis is enticing.... Interested where you go with this.

The Great Loop Q&A

James Clausen, who is in his early 50s and retired from the microelectronics and power electronics industry, did the Great Loop over two summers with his wife

www.soundingsonline.com

really neat read

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I’ve read half a dozen books about people doing the loop. Really interesting, achievable and epic journey.

 

[PANDA]

Would be awesome to-do for retirement. OR if I ever win the lottery.

Tuff has a 16' used on their website. 40hp etec says it runs 42 mph.

just money doesn't make sense to me for it, albeit i get the price. ~21k ish USD

Tuff Marine -

they say they can have up to 90's... that would fucking rip, be fun as hell.

 

[Yaj Yak]

it's different. benny calls it a bowrider for whatever reason.

something is up with the toons too. "normal" bennington tritoons- either sps/esp/express, the middle toon starts even with the outers.

also when building it... there are no pontoon options- just says "vhull"

 

[PANDA]

Interesting. Cool to see some "innovation" in the pontoon world. Id like to see a view from the front. Either the seats are set down some or that is a shorter rail in front. Cool for aero and speed.

 

[PANDA]

Also 250HP on a 22. Thats gonna rip.

 

[Yaj Yak]

but that's not a 24' boat doe.

What size boat is it?

it's either a 21 or a 23. i could be wrong on the year, it's has graphics from 2007 as far as i know- looking now, unless the graphics were changed after the fact. because the "hoop" gelcoat layout was from 2005 or 2006 iirc.


without a direct nuts side photo it's tough to tell.

this is a 23 2007

this is a 21 2007:

this is a 24 and it is a complete tank- but never had gelcoat lines of the boat in the ranger test, so it's 100% not the 24.

is the water level not totally fucked up there?

 

[Yaj Yak]

no we're back to good. that storm around sep 11th raped the chain- but we had something like 10 inches of rain in a week. so it was expected.

there is a lot of current everywhere, but totally good to go on the chain and upper river.
