mead on sunday 1-05-03???

[Rude]

i giving serious thought to going to the lake on sunday. from what i'm seeing on the weather it's supposed to be really nice (around 70 degrees). anyone else having the same thoughts? probably head out sometime between 10 and noon and come back in when the sun goes down. anyone.......anyone..........

[STV_Keith]

I hope to GOD I'm out there. Supposedly the motor was due back on Monday, but I haven't talked to Kevin yet. If it is, I want to get it together before the weekend and start on the break in. 2hrs at a time though...I might be going home by the time you get there. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Looks like Joe Theisman on Monday Night Football 15 years ago or whenever that was! I'll never forget that, they replayed it on t.v. like 30 times! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

[STV_Keith]

Update, the block is STILL not here. UPS tracking says tomorrow. So Kevin and I are putting it 1/2 together tomrrow, and 1/2 on Saturday. I still hope to have it in the water Sunday, but it won't be for long (2hrs max per day).

[jkpruitt]

We are going to this weekend. Sunday sounds great. I hope I have the fuel problem cured. Where are you going to be?

Ken

[Rude]

if i can convince my passenger to go, we'll be putting in at callville hopefully around 10 or 11. Â*from there, not real sure. Â*most likely head up through the narrows. Â*keith, keep me posted on whether you're going out sunday and about what time you'll be in the water and where you'll be putting in at. Â*if it's about the same time we plan to be there i'll make sure we hang with you.

[LV-Advantage]

Rude- If the weather is anything like today count me in for sure.

[Rude]

ok, it looks like the date has been moved to saturday. most likely around 11 at calville. the only snafu for me is i'm having some work done at the house sat. morning. he should hopefully be done by then though. oh yeah, and my boat is FILTHY!!! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif the last time i had it behind the truck it was raining and i haven't had the chance to clean it yet http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/insane.gif so much for sleeping in tomorrow.

Great guys! Okay, you wanted to know, so anyway, I'll be at Cauville SUNDAY around 11am. Should be around most of the day. 2 hrs of break in will probably be in Cauville Bay, then lunch, then another 2 hrs in/around Cauville.

Thanx. it is nice having a driver i need to teach the wife.

[Rude]

awesome pic rich! thanx!

[Rude]

keith, when you get a chance let us know how the boat ran today. hope everything went well, it looks like you should have had a nice day to be out there.

[Craig]

You guys piss me off http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Â*I'm just shakiing this flu/allergy crap and finally started dinking on the boat while your tear assing around the lake. Should have the engine back in soon. Then start testing that new prop. Man, it was a nice day today. Donnie and I each wasted 8 bucks going to the AZ International car show, lame http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/glare.gif Â*At least the early football game was good while we sat at Hooters http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Â*Rude, the boat looks good. We're so jazzed about getting up there with you guys the first of May!

[STV_Keith]

Well, pulling up to the toll booth, it says 70+mph gusts (gale winds); however the weather was great today! Kevin and I launched the boat around 11:15, and spent an hour putting around at 3k or less. Got gas and did another hour. Still all is well. Had lunch and put a third hour on, this time at 5k or less. With my 27, it runs 55.9mph at 5k http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif At one point the throttle somehow http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif got pushed down and registered a 69.8 on the GPS. Whoops!

Anyway, the lake was great, almost no wind and damn near smooth. You guys should have come out! Oh well, maybe we'll hook up next time.

[Dusty Times]

Damn weather guy! Next time he says windy I'm loading the boat. I'm sure it will be glassy water that day.

[aquaholic iv]

awesum run rude, you guys all make me sick! cold and cloudy with a slight dribble of snow flurrys around here. and you guys are still out. how did the boat handle? still able to hear the tunes? 25 more days!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[jkpruitt]

We were there on Sunday. It could not have been a better day.


Ken

[LV-Advantage]

Ken nice to meet you and the mrs. How did the boat run?

[25 RAGE]

Rude, thats sweet 80.3 how did it feel? A couple of buddies said that they saw two very cool hot boats at sandy. they also said you guys were hitting some good runs. Was the water cold? they said you guys were hanging out in the water at sandy... When I hit about 73 I start to rock side to side and feel very loose, almost like I'm going to lose it? not sure why? deep vee ride I guess. I'm sure your ride was smoth...yes

[BADFISH II]

My feet where frozen in that water! We were fine until the clouds came over.

Rude, I forgot to tell you. When you and LVADV left sandy I could here your boat for a good 3 to 4 minutes out of the hole. It sounded awesome, and you guys were going around the other side towards Calville. It sounded awesome!

[Rude]

aquaholic, it seemed to handle good. the water pretty smooth and i was getting a bit of porpoise but the longer i run the boat the more i'll get used to it. i'm still playing with the trim trying to find out the best place to run it at.

25 rage, it felt AWESOME to hit 80! that was my goal so i'm very happy with it. we were at sandy most of the day. what kind of boat was your friend in? there were a few boats out there that looked like they were camping. there was also a nice looking carrera tunnel that sounded VERY healthy. and yes the water was very cold! not that i'm qualified to answer any questions about fast v-bottoms but from what i've read it's normal for them to rock back and forth (chine walking). with my boat, if i put a slight turn in the wheel the porpoise goes away, it may work the same for you. i've also watched offshore racing where they'll steer back and forth to counteract the wobble. LV Advantage would be better at this one than i would.

LM1, i was wondering how loud the boat was. kim took some video of the boat a couple of months ago from LVHB Beach and you could hear a little on the tape. we'll have to do that again, i had a blast!

[LV-Advantage]

25Rage My advantage doesn't rock at all but i don't get anywhere near 73mph. what motor do you have in that? I really wouldn't know what would cause the rock probably pretty normal. do you have a small delta pad at the back of the hull?

[STV_Keith]

JKPruitt...where were you Sunday? I was running around between Cauville and the Narrows from 11-4.

[25 RAGE]

Rude, yeah the people on the beach are some friends, they just had way too many beers , so they spent the night , they also said they could hear your rides for miles after you guys left. chine walking ? Looks like I need to do some reading up, because that just doesnt feel right, thanks for the info...

[25 RAGE]

LVadvantage, stock 496, this nordics hull is fast. but you know its never fast enough.... I dont have a delta pad, The boat seems to chine walk only when you get up and out of the water, skippin across some good chop...

[BADFISH II]

We should make an annual "freeze your nuts off" event every year http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

[Rude]

you can count me in! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/insane.gif http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/insane.gif

[jkpruitt]

STV_Keith

Yea we were there from 12 Noon until about 3:30. I saw you. We ran up through the narrows in the basin, and then back down to the dam, then back to the narrows.

Ken

[Rude]

jk, if you didn't know it already i was the crazy guy flashing his lights and waving at you on your way out of the park on sunday. it would have been right around 12:15 or so. as usual i was running late, but at least this time i had a good excuse. i had to apply first aid to my dog 'cause she snuffed out all 9 lives on a local tom cat. the cat tore her face up pretty good. but in the end, ares=3.....cats=0

[25nordic]

25rage, we have a 98 25 scandia same boat as yours but without the steps in the hull and i can't hit 73 either .. but i'll run 65 and get that same chine or rocking feeling when i'm trimed up.... all and all though we have had our nordic for four seasons and not one problem yet, awsome boats.. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[25 RAGE]

25nordic,
I know you guys are thinking this boat cant or wont do 70+ with stock sh#t and how every one adds a few miles to the story but this boat GPS at 73 speedo said 78, I'm running a 28/4 bravo for the top end stuff, I have ran a 26/4 but loose all top end (68) but good hole shots. This chine walking thing realy freaks me out, a total out of control feeling, so I just drop the trim and she smooths right out, but falls off in speed (70) I do love this boat, turn key and go http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/insane.gif

[Rude]

25 rage, not sure how much net surfin' you do but you might want to bring up this topic on the rrx board. there are a bunch of nordic's in that group. i've always heard that the nordic hulls are way fast! sounds like the magazines weren't kiddin'. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
