For anyone that's going to be around the chain-o-lakes next Saturday, there is going to be another band on a party barge at the sandbar on Petite lake. They will probably start around 1:00pm. Bring the babes and the beads. I have a white & red 19' nordic tunnel with a merc outboard. My wife and I will be in the shallows, so stop by and have a cold one.

The chain is a pretty big waterway, some shallow lakes but most definitly will accommodate your boat. This is about an 1 1/2 hours east (& a little North) of Rockford, so I am not sure it would be worth the trip for one day. If you came out from a Thursday thru Saturday or Sunday it would, because then you would be able to catch the drag races at Blarney's on Thursday night & get the weekend in also.

Hey Kphayes..........post a picture of your ride. I am interested in seeing it as I have a 19' Elim Daytona with a 2.4L Merc Bridgeport.
Thumbs UP!

I also have a 2.4 bridgeport. You will have to excuse me as I am a rookie. I do have a jpeg, but I am not sure how to post it in here.
Help.

Is there any way to post a picture in here without posting it first to readers rides?

Havasudreamin'-I think I got it now. Thanks.
Did you use to live out west or just like Havasu? My wife & I are from San Diego. We miss that river scene alot but were trying to make up for it out here.

Cal and my family had a vacation place at Havasu for more than 25 years. Unfortunately, people grow up and things change. When I got out of school, the best work I found was in Chicago :( I lived there for 3 years and just last Nov. got engaged and relocated down to Indy. This summer has been very busy for me as I am getting married in three weeks. Unfortunately, all the crazyness has left little room for long boat trips, so I haven't been able to hit the chain o lakes or Hardee Damn. :( However, I plan on making it a "traveling" year in 2003 and will let all you guys know prior to traveling up that way!
BTW, Nice looking boat! What year is the hull/motor. That motor looks exactly like the one I blew up in '96. It was a 2.4L 200hp black max circa 1988. Great motor! I wish I would have known to run at least 10 - 12 lbs of water pressure frown

I wish I would have known to run at least 10 - 12 lbs of water pressure Well congrats on the marriage! Next time you make it up this way drop me a line and we'll hook up on the Chain.
The hull is a '89 19' Nordic & the motor is originally an '89, but was gone through and built up in '92. I bought it off a older guy in WA that took great care of it. I lucked out, I only saw pictures of it before I bought it and talked to the guy a bunch of times. The motor has a nose cone w/low water p/u so I'm always looking @ water pressure to make sure the water p/u isn't clogged. (the chain is real clean you know) That's another sure way to blow those motors up.

In the off season, if you don't already have one, I would strongly suggest a heavy duty bearing carrier. It seems to me that it is just as tough to keep a good gearcase together as it is a good powerhead. Enjoy and see you next summer!
