Yes , winter is fun in the northeast. Always a good time for garage projects(heater Required).This winter I bought a Wellcraft Nova ST with twin 454's.Boat is very clean,but there a few things that need to be addressed.That's where winter time come's in! Too Darn cold to even think about boating , So I guess its a good time to work on the Dam thing.I remember this time last year one of my (jet boat type dude) freinds was relocating this pump.(without heated garage)Boy, was he a bitch last winter.There's something to be said about the dedication of us northeast (cold boater's)!!! Happy Holidays to all!!! Bob (Prop type dude) :D

Ah...your (jet boat type dude)friend was relocating his pump not only WITH OUT a (none heated garage)...but WITH OUT any garage at all! So lets tell the story correctly there (prop type dude)...and one more thing...with that nice BIG prop type boat ya now have ...I'll be leaving my (pump type boat) home!...
I figure the nice big engine hatch on your (prop type boat) will be a good place to sit while we judge...BEST OF SHOW!!!....With Cocktails in hand!

Sounds like its going to be a fun boat 737, probably very similar to mine LOL! I'm in Hammer's shoes, well almost. I have a heated garage, but the boat is too big to fit in. So I look out my window now and see an inch or so of frozen mess covering my boat. Won't be untill March when I can work on it again.
Merry Christmas to all!!

I'm glad the winter time gives you guys time to work on your boats. We only get a couple months off a year. Thinking about going out Saturday, still cold in the 50-60's. The water is flat and fun.
Just kiddin with you folks, you get all the beautiful seasons.
have a great Holiday Season. :p

http://free.***boat.net/ubb/Avatars/Reader_Rides/Jet_Boats/Hammers_garage.JPG Sorry I left out the fact that Hammerdown does not have any garage at all. I guess details are very important when telling a story. This is the next best thing !!! When your dedicated ,like Hammerdown it doesn't matter!!! I feel this photo depicts the correct conditions of hammers winter project about this time last winter. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, Hammer. LOL... Bob jawdrop

Please get the details right!! And after several cases of Corona and bottle of Samboka I think we might have got some work done. Not that it would be done correctly, but who cares. it's not my boat anyway. LOL :D Bob

JetBoatRich:
Just wondering if you having a fun winter out in the east. I wouldnt have it any other way. I get burntout on boating 6 months of the year. The winter gives me a good chance to really go over the boat good, make it just a little bit faster & have a (hopefully) trouble free boating season. Luckily I have a heated garage. I'll be checking the west coast out next fall :cool:
