Charlotte NC :D :D Glad you're here. We need all the representation from NC/SC that we can get! I'm up I-77 off exit 36- and north of Hwy 150 beside the airport. Stump's been here in his Mandella before.
Unless it's you, there's a red Stingray that runs up in my area with thru-transom that is super fast. It's gotta be a big block something, but I've never been close enough to tell. Come hunt him down!
From the looks of the photos you've been busy. I know there's some headers available for the Ford BB, for starters there's Drew Marine up in the Northwest. That guy is a Ford specialist in the offshore stuff, and by all reports builds killer mega-inch Fords for those things.
Anyway, glad you came around! Keep on posting as you continue the project.

Hey Moomawnster,
I was down thru your stomping grounds the other day coming home from Snowshoe- been skiing for a few days on that overdeveloped rainwater- aka "Snow". Poked my way thru Bath County and on into Covington/Clifton Forge area, and passed the lake area on the way down. Nice drive.
We went sporty car driving up thru there last fall a year ago, and toured the dam area. Too bad they wouldn't give us the guided tour anymore, but the ranger dudes were really cordial.
So what's that lake like in the summertime? I'd like to consider trailering up there for a long weekend sometime.
Sorry to hijack the thread...

yea wet, I travel. Im thinking of coming to lake anna june 14 , that is if I get at least the carpet in my boat . I don't have a place large enough to fit my boat inside and the high winds late last season took out the booth , so i'm in the cold this winter. maby we will have a short winter and i can get back on it this spring.
So many projects not enough time ...
anyone got a magic wand for sale?? smile_sp

I have a camp ten miles from Snowshoe, usually boat Moomaw a couple times a summer. It is my favorite lake. Boated there a couple years ago on the 4th of July, maybe 25 boats on the whole lake. It is real wide with superclean water. It has nice camping areas and gas is available at the far end of the lake (Bolar Flats Marinia). Slips are available by the day,no shore power. Price the last time I was there was $10 a day.

Hey Rat we plan on being there, reservations are made. Hope to bring a few more with us this year. Have a few minor things to do to the boat this winter, but all in all its ready to go. May go to a lower gear to try and get a little more top end out of the old hydro. Hope to see you and everybody else on the 14th.

Rat, here is something for the jetboaters to think about till June. The boat in the right of the picture is a 1978 Sanger jet. All original still owned by the first owner. It is in showroom condition. Boat never sees the water till July and then only on limited ocassionshttp:// free.***boat.net/ubb/Avatars/Reader_Rides/V-Drives/September_3,_2002_(2).JPGhttp://free.***boat.net/ubb/Avatars/Reader_Rides/V-Drives/September_3,_2002_(2).JPG didn't work will try some more

Here are the Anna pictures. Hopefully there will be a lot more boats this year, which will make for one heck of a party. If we can just get Dan off the snowmobile and back in the garage. Val said something about spending too much time in front of the mirror(just kiddin Dan). See everyone at Anna. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/Avatars/Hot_Boat_Happenings/Regattas/January_26,_2003.JPG
