RiverRunner Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Randy, nice boat. One of these days I need to drag my tub up there and do some exploring. Looked like a great day to be on the water. I spend most of my weekends boating and fishing. Not much time for the Shelby but I guess that is why the car is the wife's. We spent last week in Hells Canyon camping and relaxing. Fun stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent last week in Hells Canyon camping and relaxing. Fun stuff! Thanks man! I hear you I missed all autocrosses this season so far due to "boat fever". It is like nothing else...I love the feeling of being on the water. Cheers man! Your boat looks like a whole lot of fun man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slabo Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hey Randy cool video. It brought back some great memories for me. I have made that same trip many many times. Have you seen the whales out there yet? We used to have a Bayliner 3988 motor yacht moored at Elliott Bay Marina. I can’t recall the slip but I think it was on C dock. Your slip looks real close to where we were. We sold that boat and bought a place on Lake Chelan. We are lake boaters now. I just went out wakeboarding this morning. Hot here today. Thanks for the memories. -- Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got into jetboats that was it for me, I was lost forever. Probably why I'm also migrating towards fast and sporty cars. Nothing like having big horsepower and running through big rapids or running a boat through narrow channels that are ankle deep and sliding across a gravel bar. What a rush! I get the same feeling when the wife lets me drive her car. :wacko: Guess I'm a closet adrenaline junky and why I'm really considering dumping my practical commuter truck (4cyl,5spd) for a Bullitt. :burnout: Take care.

Thanks for the memories. -- Bob Haha Cool! I love 3988's those are great boats...Whales on Haro Straight are awesome. We saw a bunch of porposes last trip no whales. Lake Chelan is a great spot, I have done a bunch of lake boating as well, nothing like an early am waterskiing adventure! Glad you enjoied the time lapse. An older friend and I were talking and the cool thing about boating is that its timeless, the same coves we visit were someones experience in the 20's and earlier...crabs and beer...not a bad combo. The history of the Sound is amazing. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the sound of a GM 8.1L FI - 390hp. I love that sound too but alas it's no more. Last year I repowered her with 4.2L turbo charged diesel. Fuel burn went from 12 gph to 6. B) Now I can chase those pesky tuna with out carrying a bunch of gas cans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
