Trying to get going again

Well the VA has put me on some kind of new meds, but have to keep track of my kidney and liver function real close http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif So hopefully that will help fix some of my weight loss and lack of energy problem

Other than that towing my rig home in a down pour with out the cover, flooded my bow 102C, and it is way out of warranty. SO with bosses permission, I have ordered a 520C for the console and will move the 332C I now have there to the bow. Next step is figuring out where to mount the GPS module on the bow.

Taking Trailer next week to have all the bucks replaced and recarpeted, could not believe my trailer did not have treated lumber for the runners http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif

Truck goes back Friday for the last http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/praying.gif of the small stuff that has been driving me nuts with it.

HOPE this is the end of all this stuff that started at the first of the year http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif

So maybe I can get back to thinking of going fishing again soon. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

Sounds like you'll have everything taken care of ED! Heck you'll have a new rig!! http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif Hard to believe those bunks rotted out on you...amazing.

Bill they did not rot...someone backed into my trailer last year and broke a big chunk of the back of one of the runners. Was just going to get that fixed when I noticed it was not treated lumber. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif

Damn Ed sounds like your luck is going about how mine is. Hope Your luck gets better soon man. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

That's different then. Hard to believe that some clown hit you and at least didn't leave a note. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif Even more hard to believe that they weren't made with treated lumber. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthdown.gif At least you'll have the Toon ready to roll soon! http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

Hoping by next weekend I will be able to get it in the water http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif if not sooner

http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif I hope everything works out Ed.

I hope those new meds works good for you Ed. I think there is a black cloud hanging out over us old jarheads. My engine blew up yesterday on the way back to the launch site...second time in less than a year...this is getting old.... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif

Man that's a kick in the teeth Dave. I've heard of it happening to people, but not twice in that short of a time period. Of course you do log a lot of hours on one I guess, but you'd think it would go longer than that. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif

Ed skip treated lumber for bunks and pay a little more for the composite stuff. It won't be all that much more and you won't have to replace them again.

I feel your pain... your not the only one with a blown motor! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif

Good luck and I hope your get her fixed asap! http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

ED, if you need anything let me know... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

DAM Dave, now you got me wondering if I even want to fire mine up now. Has not been started since last year.

Is the engine still under warranty? or do you have to many hrs on it?
Either or that is a kick in the pants for sure.

Hope you got another rig you can barrow, or that is going to be a real bummer in your situation.

Good Luck with the rebuild Dave.


Billy I have looked at that composite stuff at Lowes, like the idea and all but its expensive and HEAVY. Not sure the brackets are made to handle that much more weight, so will stick with the treated lumber.

I had that powerhead put on last summer and it is still under warranty thank goodness. Dropped the boat off at Jet-A-Marina this morning and in their usual efficient manner they have already ordered me a new one. Have already arranged for a loaner boat thanks to one of my fine friends... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

Sometimes it seems life really sucks Ed, but there are still a lot of good folks in this world that will bend over backwards to help you out if you will just let them...remember that Ed...we are all on your side here at BBC... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

Ed,
Hang in there bro. Us jarheads are tough. I'm here for you if you need to talk.
Looking forward to meeting you at the rally in May and letting you try out my 199.
Semper Fi!

Thanks you two ex jar heads, and everyone else. I know about the being tough and keep going....but dam at times it just mounts up and ya want to quite....but dam USMC training does not allow that, so I bite the bullet and keep on trucking even if the gears are grinding and wheels are wobbling http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
Guess there is something else in me that Sue is always jumping on me about, I will not ask anyone to help if I can do it myself even if it takes longer http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
BUT she keeps reminding me you are not no spring chicken anymore and time is caught you http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/embarassed.gif

Ed, you tha man there good buddy, we are all behind you 100%. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

Ed, I told you before I am here if you need to discuss things. If you're up this way I will buy you some cold ones and some wings. hang in there http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif
