    Default Got everything in order time to fish


    Took the boat into the shop and got new plugs, idle adjusted, throttle hooked back up, and motor height adjusted. Came home cleaned out the truck and some honey do's completed. So now it is time to test boat and see if I can locate some fish. I think I will head up to Stockton tomorrow morning and see what is going on. Let me know if anyone else will be there tomorrow and I will keep an eye out for you.

    Go gettem Tom. Wish I could do the same.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, rather to skid in sideways, body used up and totally worn out screaming 'WOO~HOO what a ride!'

    Don't plan on swimming but one never knows what will happen. I just hope my boat plains out and if that happens nothing else that happens will bother me. I was told today that I have caused the problem to come back since I have set the motor to low on the jack plate so it is 1 1/2 inches higher now and I will try there and keep raising 1/4 until all is right. Just so you know I have been lowering it thinking that would help, but in reality I have caused the prop to get a better bite into the water and need some slipage to get the RPM's up to get the boat out of the hole. We shall see!

    One Of These Days I Would Like To Meet One Of You Stockton Guys And Learn The Ropes Over There. I Am Not Going Any Where Until That New Stainless Prop Gets Here. It Should Be Here Friday. My Fedex Ground Guy Is A Nut For Someone To Sign For Everything. And My Ups Driver Gets Here Sometimes As Late As 6 Pm Who Knows When Or Where. And The Ups Driver Won't Even Ring The Door Bell! The Moron Left 3 Cases Of Shotgun Shells On My Front Porch The Other Day And Never Rang Or Knocked On The Door! So I Am Sticking Around Until It Gets Here!

    Don't know much about it.....but that sounds just backwards to me. Would think you would need to lower it. Hope that works though!!
