Here are some pics from the tournament. I'll leave the color commentary to our tournament director.



David Sikes bringing our little bag to the scales.

Melvin Davis enjoying one of the many rides at The Alabama River Amusement Park.
Actually Rick had a little engine problem and had to be towed in (notice Rick is not as amused).

Jason Phillips......Rick says this one's for you!

Now that right there is funny!

Looks like a tough day on the water. Rick, what happened with the motor?

[buzzn]

Apparently spun a hub...... WOT, 70 +/- MPH, no warnings and then ZZZZZZZZ

[fastr19]

Remember, I did the same at Martin. Maybe we're cursed. Whoops my mistake. At Martin I threw a blade. It was another tournament at Eufaula I burned a hub.

Rick, saw your post in the Evinrude forum. I hear that our lightning gearcases are pretty fragile even thought they might not acknowledge it there.
However when you do prop reworking with a hammer, this might be a factor.

[buzzn]

hey....a little hammering with a 5 lb. sledge shouldn't hurt much..... Had a new prop on it at the time.....the foot musta broke when I dragged it down the highway from Gunterville to Montgomery.....just glad it didn't start any forest fires, I think. I think it's covered under the warranty ...If not I'll tell them that the Georgia Boy is gonna loan me some $ sos I can pay for it and fish this Sat.

[fastr19]

You're so funny!!!

[kk4iz]

So thats what broke that Rub

[buzzn]

Steve at Genes said the whole foot would have to be replaced. Said that the gears were in pieces, little bity pieces

[kk4iz]

will the warranty cover the lower unit?

[buzzn]

yeah.....it will...probably cause it's internal damage...will cost me 25 bucks....Warren, can I borrow 25 bucks?

[kk4iz]

We got some copper that you might could trade in for the $25, us do a lot of trading up here

[buzzn]

I wouldn't post that Warren,...there is a LOT of copper missing from around here....someone might think that you use that extra heavy duty diesel pickup of yours to back up to houses and pull all the copper piping out at one time.... that would look funny going up the interstate........

[kk4iz]

Mine is just pennies. But we did have someone to remove our 00 welding leads about 75 feet each from our portable welder sometime in last couple of weeks

Saw your post in the lounge. If you pay $80,000 a year in taxes, how about buying this poor retired Ga. boy a new boat instead.

[buzzn]

it all goes for taxes......look what i ride in..........old and refurbed

[buzzn]

and......IRS wants MORE!.....besides....the Ga. Boy has got enough money under his mattress to burn a stack of wet mules........
