I'll be coming out just to meet all of you and enjoy the show! Too bad the boat isn't anywhere near ready for a run....maybe if I leave a good enough impression I can hitch a ride with someone? =]

Sorry man, , been sidetracked.

Not sure how many will be coming down, but I think the plan is to get together Saturday for a cruise round the bay. Deckboat style, so bring some sunscreen and comfy shoes. Dale will be in town, we may have a Minx in attendance, but right now that's all I now :) :)

Looking like a Saturday boat ride for sure. Waiting for a couple folks to verify arrival times to maybe setup a Friday dinner. Sunday wide open, but I guess some folks might go to the show?

I picked up our boat last night, building booths today. PM'd you my cel..

We'll be returning to MBM in the afternoon if you want to be dropped off there, then heading back to Matheson..

You mean more "DMRS Custom Fenders" don't ya? haha...

I've been rebuilding the carb for two weeks now....my fingers still hurt and it ain't done yet!... But once I get that back on and replace some fuel lines, I'm planning on a evening run before I tear the interior apart, nothing big, maybe just out of Matheson and around they bay for a little bit on a Sunday afternoon.... I'll keep ya posted!

Thanks Scott and Jim! We had a great time hanging out with everyone. After years of the same Miami routine (one month prep + setup + working the show five days straight) that was really, really nice!

I tried to find the thread with pics of it but couldn't. It just passed me heading to Galveston. Was that boat for sale? If so, then I wonder who bought it or if it is getting shipped overseas. Dirty and traveling with the cockpit wide open. Made me cringe.
