Correct, I am running 110 in it and a 5 shot of NoS
Oh and I labbed the prop, beefed up the stringers and blueprinted the bottom

I just realized that there are 2 time zones that could be used for this gathering. Are we using EST or Central? Don't want to be late.

We typically use the chattanooga zone (EST) just to make sure.....

Don't be late getting left at the dock sucks!!!!!!

"We" must mean the new guy on the dock.


I use the time zone where we are actually staying. It is the only way I can keep it clear. The marina now operates on central as they should. They had to do it too because folks kept showing up at wrong times. I have spent a number of years living on the edge of a time zone. There are fewer missed appointments as a result. The only way it works it to remember that and use the timezone of your physical location. I have managed crews of people that tried to use the time zone of another location just because it was a bigger place. Once I made them operate on "local time" many of the problems went away.

Georgia people that have not been around the marina for very long do it the other way. We have one or two old timers at the marina that still fight that (aka Garth).

When going to Chattanooga, you always need to remember that.

I talked to Marine Max and they agreed to let us park in the protected area on the inside of the floating docks for $10 per boat.

It is usually $1 per foot. They manage it for the city and can't really give it away (at least to 10-15 boats). For those that don't want to come off the $10, you can tie up on the concrete docks on the water front. Those are not as bad and are technically in a no wake zone. This no wake zone is often violated by folks in cruisers that like to come by waking people at half plane. For some reason most of the offenders drive Sea Rays and Meridians.

Tex and I discussed leaving a car at the Marine Max dock in case anyone needs to go to the store (or parts store). Tex came up with that one. Since Donzi Vol is coming along, I thought it was a good idea.

There is also a restaurant that has dockage. I will run down there later this week. It is decent and may be a good alternative.

It will be fun.

Robert, you should reserve at least one trip a year for boating. Biking is cool but boating.......well.....

[Donziweasel]

Since I have no boat at this gathering, I have no chit to talk. BUT, if the owner of the boat I will be riding in wants me to stir the pot, please let me know. I would be happy to trash talk my ass off.......

Well, of course I want a ride in the ZX. Jim has offered a seat in his Critter. Hoping Bill might offer a ride in the X. Spoke to Poodle this morning and he is on the fence about dragging his Critter up there. Anyone else need some ballast, I am good for 190 pounds of it.......
