Finally got the boat home this weekend. Today I put in the petcocks, hooked the hoses and tightened the hose clamps. The batteries were put in place and the blower turned on.<br /><br />Pumped the throttle a couple of times and turned the key. About two seconds later the beast sprung to life after about a six month nap. First turn. Smooth as a babys butt. The hoses held, the block wasn't cracked and the temp held steady.<br /><br />Last year was a bust, but things are looking great for this summer. Yep, today was a good day.

But did you blast the horn for the neighbors? :) <br /><br />Looks like the old gal is begging you to take her out.<br />Happy boating ahead.

That is a good day!!! Who else can say that nothing broke while their boat was sitting on the trailer minding it's own business? Not me :D

WOW, It was a good day. I got a promotion and didn't know it. I hope that gets me preferential seating around the fire at the Wisconsin Camp out. :)
