[aquaholic iv]

[Rude]

right on, welcome to the party! i could draw you a map from calville bay to LVHB beach, that's about for me. i too need a lake mead guide. D4$ is a very good bet on telling you what's where.

[aquaholic iv]

where do you normally put in at. and how are the docks there

[kevnmcd]

Hold up there aquaholic...we need details!!!! Kind of sled? size? Motor?.....come on, give it up! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

Seriously, welcome to the boards! I think you will like it here. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif What brings you to Vegas? Work? What kind of work do you do?

Cool! Bring your ride down to Cottonwood Cove on May 3rd!

Cool, we definitely get together. If you're one of the "real" boaters that will get out when the weather is still chilly. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

There are still parts of the lake I want to explore - maybe that will be a good chance.

There are some cool spots that I have already been to (wishing well, cathedral cove, LVHB beach, Sandy, the dam, etc). We can do a lake day easy.

So, what kind of rig do you have?

Where are you from in NE? My x-wife is from up there. Beautiful country (when it's not covered in white stuff), but not much to do.

[aquaholic iv]

we have a 2002 26 daytona, 500 hp with a whipple, its still in the shop getting the last of the tuning quirks out, can't wait to try it out on some real water. all we have up here is muck, i figure it should be at least 60 mph faster in clean h2o, i sent a pic to greg to post in the readers rigs. were definitly all season boaters, most of the time were out at the beginning of spring whenever the temps get above 60-65, still need to know where to put in at?

[STV_Keith]

I like to put in at Cauville Bay Marina (N36 08.421 W114 43.327) as it's on the North end of the Boulder Basin. From there, I normally go East, through the Narrows to Wishing Well (N36 08.414 W114 34.893) or up to LVHB beach (N36 10.768 W114 26.607).

If you are going to be living in Henderson, you'll be much closer to either Hemenway or Las Vegas Bay Marina (currently being moved though).

[Rude]

i always put in at calville too. the ramp area there is nice but the water level is pretty low so you have to go way down on the ramp. that sounds like a SWEET ride!! i just looked in the pic gallery and greg hasn't posted it yet. what kind of speed were you getting before you put the blower on it? if by chance you are going to be around in the beginning of dec. we are going to havasu for the parade of lights. welcome to the neighborhood!

Need an escort?http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif Be careful, some of these Vegas guys might send you something else!! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Just kidding, welcome to the board, these guys will hook you up! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[aquaholic iv]

rude 235, before i put the blower on i was radared at 77 mph during our river races,that was with a 24,4 blade, the boats still not completly tuned but with the blower we got 96 mph at 3 lbs of boost and 5000 rpm running a 30, 4 blade, we had to shut down cause the external steering was fishy, thats why its still in the shop, they say it just needs the hydrol;ics bleed?? after i move down there which wont be till the end of january, i'll need hooked up with a good mechanic th do any fine tuning with the alt. change and wheather changes. any suggestions? wish i could make it for the light show, oh well we can wait another 2 months, we got all this snow to enjoy for the last time in our lives

[aquaholic iv]

what kind of top end have you been gettin and what setup are u runin. seen your postins a lot and cant wait to meet u personally. should we drive the extra miles to put in where u do, or just stay closer to home? gotta love those daytonas! gregg still hasn't posted my pics, butt i just emailed him to find out why. most people refer to our boat as the holloween boat, but we prefer to call it the graphics we never got

[Rude]

i'm not sure how long you've been watching the boards but greg and his better half just moved into a new pad so they've been pretty busy the last month or so with the packing and movin' gig. i should hopefully be hooking up with them this next thursday. i've got a 500efi with a 28p 4 blade. as far as top speed i really don't know yet. i've only had the boat a short while so i'll have to get back to you on that one. i've seen 73+ on the speedo. this is the first tunnel i've owned so i'm trying to take my time and learn the ropes with it. what do you mean by the halloween boat, is it black and orange? as far as a mechanic i highly recommend dunsmore custom marine in boulder city, nv. that's where i take mine and beach bum (2000 25 daytona w/ a 540) also takes his. he was tom gentry's crew chief for many years and is very good with blowers/turbos from what i'm told.

Rude-Don't be making excuses for Greg. His primary responsiblity should be this site. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif Right, Greg?

[Rude]

good point! where's your priorities man?! j/k greg.

[aquaholic iv]

yep, the boat came in with more orange than we thought it would, we picked out more golds and yellows, butt i also told them to use their better judgement, turned out cool, butt a shock from our origanal scheme,, thanx for the name dropping for a mechanic. i defenitly need some help. anyone for a housewarming party?

[Rude]

party, naw these folks NEVER get together to have parties.
just name the place and time and you'll proably end up with more people than you'd expected at your pad. if you have some pics of your boat saved in your 'puter you can post them on the board. just go to the browse button on the screen where you type your posts and click on the file you want to post. it does have to be a jpg file though. if you're computer stupid like me you can email the pics to somebody and they'll get them posted for you.

[aquaholic iv]

that sounds easy enough, i'll give it a try,worst comes to worst i've got plenty of duct tape to put this damn computor back together, again. everytime i shut it down it ptints out I D 10 T !!

[Rude]

SWEET RIDE!! it sounds like we are in the same boat when it comes to computers http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif i had better get a good look now since the only thing i'll see on the lake is the transom http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[RiverLife]

Awesome looking ride!! Welcome to the boards, everyone here is great! You should definitely think about making it out to the event we got planned for May 3rd. Good chance to meet everyone and hang out on our beautiful lakes.
You'll be loving the black gel this summer huh?!!!

[STV_Keith]

Looks like a nice ride! I suppose that pic was during one of the 6 days of summer you guys get up there. Hehe. I bet you can't wait to get out of that crap - I know I couldn't.

[aquaholic iv]

6 days?http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif?http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif??3 of those are rain!oh yeah thats why we went black,, to warm up on those cold nebraska days http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[BADFISH II]

Welcome welcome!

Sorry I haven't seen this thread yet, even though we've talked via email.

Your boat pic should be up in the gallery soon! It's a sweet ride for sure, the Essex owners are now outnumbered http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Glad to have you aboard, sorry again for not seeing this thread sooner, I've been a scatterbrain with the move and all!

BTW everyone, pics of the garage coming as soon as I can get it cleaned out and my boat back from Beach Bum!

Later all!

Greg

[aquaholic iv]

well sounds like you should be one experianced mover, were gonna need someone with your expertise. were not looking forward to that part of the move.the last two days i've thrown away 7 truckloads of junk i never use anymore.7 hills is only 4=5 miles away i think. relax i'm only kidding! may 3rd sounds doable ,if were settled in by then

[BADFISH II]

I've moved 4 times in the last two years, hopefully I won't have to anytime soon!

We'll definitely look for you on the third, but either way we'll see ya on Mead!

Best of luck with the move http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[LV-Advantage]

Aquaholic- That is one nice boat, there sure are alot of Daytonas in here now. Look us up when you get to Vegas.

Welcome, how long have you had your ride? Sorry we never crossed paths as I am nearly your neighbor. I am not happy that you beat me out of cold country Â*http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif
Give us all the details on the Whipple as I hope to have mine before spring. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[aquaholic iv]

inheat,,,,neighbors? nebraskan or future lv'n? we've had the boat since july this year, we already have 84 hours on it and probably 15-20 tanks of fuel,haha were supposed to pick the boat up tommorrow from the shop if it doesnt snow.. so far i only gotta test drive the whipple once under unfavorable conditions. next test drive will be down on lake mead

[Rude]

aquaholic, don't worry about if you're settled in or not. i let things slide all the time just so i can go to the lake. grass goes uncut for about a month, all the faucets in the house leak, the car won't run, etc etc.......but at least the boat runs!! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif priorities man!

[aquaholic iv]

rude,, thought you were married?http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
we all know the wife wants things done when she wants them done---NOW as they say women are all different,butt wifes are all the same

Aquaholic iv, I am out of Denver and spent several weekends in Nebraska last summer as you guys have all the water. Good luck with your move me and the misses keep on dreamin about moving down but something called a job has me tied like a ball and chain to this fridgid country. Do you have a good boat shop in Nebraska that installed the Whipple? I plan on my own install but it would be nice to have a resource for fine tuning if I need it.

[Rude]

i am married but she lets me get away more than she probably should. i try to do what kevnmcd said and get done what i can during the week. what i don't get done then i try to finish on sunday. don't let the bad weather stop you testing out that whipple. just get your buddy with the baja to cut a path through the ice for you. if you're going to use it for firewood anyway, it would be nice to have some smaller pieces to get the fire started. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[aquaholic iv]

inheat, i had midwest performance install the whipple. they are the best around here, marty and earl were outstanding just wish we were sticking around for the thaw so they can see the results, butt its not the first they installed.martys the owner and supposed to hook me up i vegas with a tuner to dial it in,now thats service after the sale. quit dreamin and just make the move. rude, you need to skip those weekday honeydoes and hit the lake more often.my buddy with the baja caught wind of my intensions and put me on high alert, i dont know what hes worried about, ? it's only a baja ha ha ha kevnmcd,,what is the ratio of essex''''''''s to eliminators??either way i'm glad to put the elim's ahead at least in numbers!
