And finally, the crowning touch. (Yes, I must be a bit fanatical but I'm okay with that ;) )

My three favorite things: my girlfriend, my dog, and my boat :)

Taking my buddy's family out for a ride, hoping to see one of the bald eagles that nest up on the ridge. No luck seeing them that day.

Re: 1963 75hp Starflite Rebuild

I thought I would ask you since you pretty much have the same engine. I took my boat to the lake yesterday and when I was running it I felt the block and it was hotter than the cylinder head. Is that normal? I mean it wasn't HOT. I could hold my finger there for like 10 seconds. Im not sure if that temp light even works. How did you set yours up? Also do you know if you could put an automotive temp sender in that same spot, would that even work?Thank You

...I thought "something was up" with all that yellow and black.

After STS-134, NASA won't need Endeavor anymore. Maybe I coud rebuild it and do it up in Black & Gold ;)

Hell, fuel consumption would be about the same as my Evinrude ;) ;)

Glad to see you still have your sense of humor! I used to complain about fuel consumption too and then I would get my reality check by shopping for a new motor. Suddenly, it would become clear about where my $$$ should go. Enjoy your accomplishment this summer.

I'd say you've got yourself a boat! Nice work. Makes me wish I didn't sell my '64 90hp starflite years back.

Well, I'm off to Singpapore at the end of the week, so I won't be able to enjoy the boat this summer. I'll store it and have something to look forward to when I get back.

Just tried to send you a PM but got the mailbox "FULL" response. Must be the time zone thing because I know you would never let that happen!

Oops! I'll blame this one on too much Tiger beer and laksa. Problem corrected.
