Prep week almost done!!

[Old Screwball]

It is in the mid to high 80's here in Bullhead City. Az. The river level is a bit low so we didn't launch, this was a 'work vacation. Took out the round radio in the dash and replaced it with a matching speedometer. Now I can tell how slow I'm going. Cut a hole in the dash and added a new radio. Has 200 watts, an aux input, USB and SD card slots. Did I mention 200 watts???? TWO HUNDRED WATTS Also mounted the VHF radio, but ran out of room in the dash, so it is an under mount. Fold down antenna. Everything works well. Also finished the umbrella mount in the front of the boat. We will be launching her for the summer in a week or two, then pictures.

Also brought our '95 Jeep Wrangler down here. Took off the hard top, and doors. It will become our 2 seater thumper semi pick-up 4 wheel drive boat launcher.

Well all the prep work is done, some finishing touches on the home remodel in California and it will be fun fun FUN

Nice, I'm looking forward to boating season....we got snow last night here in PA...soo tired of it. Actually was glad i took the front rails off the pontoon when i did on Sunday, now i can prep them for paint while the snow melts.

Having a nice stereo on a boat is an essential....they should add it to the coast guard check list!! Life jackets -Check......Stereo -Check.....Beers -Check LOL

I have spring fever.... 30 degrees, gray overcast, and snow here in Cleveland. I did some pontoon cleaning last week, even with icicles forming. hahaha.

Hey, on your stereo, consider a sub woofer if you don't already have one. It makes any music sound sooo much better. For my toon I bought a $75 Pyle tube subwoofer, built in amplifier and 10" subwoofer. Plug and play. Just another project to consider!

Hi All..
Been here at Lake Havasu since the end of January.. Been tooning since then too... But here lately its been in the 90's so LOTS of tooning... Today we trailer-ed it below the Parker Dam and went all the way to the Casio (Next Dam) and back.. Great day for a ride..
We tow it down with our motorhome and my wife drives the Grand Cherokee down to tow and launch the toon and for general use..
We advise all to attend the Pyrotechnic convention here over Presidents Day weekend.. It should be on your "bucket list".
But next week its back to Colorado and home..

Have a safe ride home Ron. We will be leaving for California tomorrow for a couple of weeks. Then it will be a week there, 2 here for the summer plus a couple of Harley rides with our degenerate buddies.
