I know the topic is pictures, but would you turn down a video? Let me know because I can post a video of mine in action after I changed the plugs. She's humming!

Are you kidding!? Pics are great, but videos are 1,000,000,000 times better!

Ok the wind is kinda crazy going west but you can really hear the motor when I turn around. Hopefully more following this weekend. Going out again Saturday! I love this thing!

Fun fun fun! My female Aussie Aspen has to lick every fish. She will about knock you over to get to the fish when she hears the reel start going! Cracks me up.

I will post photos of our 88 Medalist 1600 in the next few days but wanted to share this video with everyone. The video is my nephew at his first attempt at tubing. The video was taking on my phone :facepalm: but you get the idea.

This is my first time posting a video, so please correct me if I have done something wrong. And thanks to the guys here (EZ) for getting me back in the water!!

Here is another video of last weekend.

I was hoping to go out today and get some better pictures but it's raining and our grandson looks like he will not get picked up until 1-2 this afternoon. The weather looks like scattered storms all week so I don't know if I'll be able to get her in the water until next weekend. Enjoy and my apologies if the video is screwy!!

Here's a video from last week on Shawnigan Lake BC of el toro senior taking the ship for a spin. We just freshened up the paint on it and you know what? I think that stripe makes it go a little faster!

Starcraft Desert Life....

Scared the Hell out of me! Thought that was my boat! And it's in the Dez to boot....whew!

What lake are you at? Our boats are damn near the same looks wise. My plan is to go out to Pleasant this weekend to test mine out after some work done on it. Would be cool to check out each others work

Third outing. I love this boat. Right now, my wife and I are just enjoying riding and looking at the gazillion-dollar houses on the lake (Ft. Loudon - Tennessee River). Talk about conspicuous consumption. And we're getting comfortable with boating. She still freaks and hangs on for dear life when we cross a wake. And I'm just getting my sea legs back. It's been 40+ years.

We were out from 6 to 8 pm and the osprey were out fishing in force. We must have seen 20 and almost all has fish.

Viking.. I was at Pleasant. Did you go out this weekend? It would be cool to meet up sometime and check out each others boats! I'm thinking about getting out next weekend.
