NB have a great time buddy and I hope you can at least hook up with EZ and his buds. That way it won't be a total wash out.
fer me and tight lines
And she was done.......
Brad,
The get together was supposed to be last weekend. I was there with my family and saw no-one else. I never heard anything from E and pretty much cruised the entire lake and never saw another Starcraft the entire weekend.
So, we picked up the jet skis from the Yamaha dealer on Friday and launched them immediately. Gassed them up, cruised around the point, docked, ran into the room to grab pfd's and upon our return they were both pretty close to SANK!
Both engine compartments were completely full of water and we had to drag them (full) accross the little bay to the dealer to find out that the recall required taking the exhaust components out but the recall kits did not come with new gaskets so they used the old ones along with some silicone????
Needless to say, they are back in the shop awaiting gasket kits.
On Sunday, we fired the LL up and went up lake to the local dockside restaraunt for the breakfast bar. Upon returning to the boat we experienced some sort of double backfire/deiseling scenario and filled the #4 cylinder with water. We removed all the plugs, cranked it over to drain the water, gave it a while to dry and fired it up. Uh oh-got a slight knock. Not real bad but there nonetheless. We decided to go immediately back to the marina. We were within sight of the marina when something came loose and blew a big honkin hole in the side of the block
All in all not a really good weekend
Bummer.
Sorry to see all the bad luck there NB. I hope y'all had some fun even with all the bad luck. I am glad I didn't make there myself cause that's the kind of luck I have. My boat would probably be at the bottom of Lake Anna right now. Hope ya can get it all fixed up soon.
