Members Unite!! 2016 Fall Florida Ride

[shaun a]

Welcome aboard and thanks for joining.

Are you anywhere near where we are riding?

I'm here with y'all I'm down here with Jason. Been fun but messed my ski up

 

[snikwad003]

^ hat happened there?

No gas?

Better watch out.
Youll gulp your 40 gallons in a day?

That would be sooo bad


How are the water conditions?

Water is good, I believe it was choppy on one side yesterday, only had to put in 26 gallons today, and no body was out of gas....that was in the boat:thumbsup: .... it has been a mechanicly rough day

I take it that was [MENTION=86893]shaun a[/MENTION]

When I had my 1800 with twin 717.
40 gallons after a day I would come beeping or close to it.

Good day I came home with 1/2 tank.

I remember reading you mentioned oil consumption VS not taking skis.

Hope you got to try some out!

Hillbilly barge on that last one. Take a good look, lol.

I will be there in the morning. Anyone make it to salt springs. That is supposed to be a terrific run, especially on a ski. Silver Glenn is pretty but salt springs is reportedly great for running. Maybe we have time for both tomorrow.

 

[Spimothy Leary]

Salt Springs might be a viable option if the lake is too choppy it looks like it's just a hard right once you are at the lake and then run towards the springs. Good tip

So what were the mechanical issues?

 

[rdfish1]

In route left at 6:15 this morning should arrive by 945 at the Elm Street ramp

 

[Ankeneyou]

So what were the mechanical issues?

Spim blew up his 4 banger. JasonV and Shaun blew up all three x4s that they brought.

 

[nammer]

Whattttttt?

 

[Spimothy Leary]

Whattttttt?

Yip, not a cheap fix.
I'll know next week how bad it really is, right now just hoping there's no hole in the case.

WTF?
Was it from the SC rebuild or separate issue?

Unknown at this point, need more tools and time than a vacation trip offers. Water inside pto cyl, so its not promising.

We plan on launching at 10am. Off the Drayton Island Ferry Ramp.

 

[glsmohio]

Are we meeting at Lee's or 1of5 place. I'm getting ready to dunk the skis

 

[1of500]

Lee's as far as I know

 

[glsmohio]

That's what I thought

 

[Ankeneyou]

Were here. Dunking my spx after a slight jet change.

72 mile ride, good fun

Unfortunately, lake George was too rough, at least for the 2 smoke boys, ��, so we never made it to silver Glenn but had a great ride north up the St. John's. Absolutely beautiful day. We ran about 50mph most of the way and logged 72 miles in total before I needed to leave for home. Had fun guys.

 

[WhiskeyD]

Too rough? Rofl. That's when it's fun! 4ft swells = good air.. thats what an X4 is all about

 

[Coastiejoe]

Unfortunately, lake George was too rough, at least for the 2 stroke boys, , so we never made it to silver Glenn but had a great ride north up the St. John's. Absolutely beautiful day. We ran about 50mph most of the way and logged 72 miles in total before I needed to leave for home. Had fun guys.

Glad you made a the day-trip. It was nice to put a face to the name,,,

He fits in with Idoo

Coastie and I will take you out if you ever make it south.

I miss those days on my XP going out Government cut. Fun times.

So was there a bet who ran out of gas first?
2 VS 4 strokes
