Long thread of conversation... and interest.
Update on cheap gas in S.W. Florida...$3.59 gallon.
Ours is hovering at $3.38 to 3.43. I could stand to pay a little less...
Price of a siphon hose...$1.25 at Walmart. :rofl:
Heck yea, I got gas to burn...if you don't use it, it evaporates or gets siponed...:rofl:
I'll have to see what the weather does. That's about a 20 gallon round trip for me. You have my toll free #, give me a shout tomorrow to confirm a meet place and time. I'll more than likely have a boat full of bikinis...

woohoo im in lmao (not in a bikini):rofl:, theres a marina fill station right near my launch point
any of those kini wearers round my age? (20ish) :cheers:
Well they all work at hooters....I'll ask tomorrow... we have a weekly Jacuzzi club meet on Saturday...
It sure is starting to get deep in here...:ack:
By the way, I am in Seal Beach, California this week, and gas is still 3.98 or so around here. Luckily, I am not driving. Just taking a shuttle bus back and forth to the airport. At this price, gas would cost more than the rental car...
Can't wait to get home so I can take my boat out again. Haven't been in the water with it for over a month, due to 2 hurricanes, rainy weather, and 2 trips to California in the last 6 weeks. Starting to jones for a boat ride...

I feel you pain Scott. I haven't been able to get out during the week after work so I start Jonesing too for the water by Thursday every week. Geeze no mention of missing the wife,,,,hhhmmmmm must be seadoo fever.:ack: :rofl:

Oh, yeah, missing the wife. But not jonesing for her. I saw her last just 3 days ago and will see her again in 3 more, but the boat has been in the garage at my work for over a month with at least another week to go before I get a chance to use it, weather permitting...
Here in Florida we are watching a Tropical Storm coming in from the Cuba area...gonna be here Tuesday I think.

If it tracks over cuba and stays over land most of the time, it should be nice and weak when it hits you...I hope
Hurricane party is a bad thing...I gotta pull my Speedster off my lift today Sunday, by 4:00 pm or it will have to ride it out, on the lift with no water! Every time in the past 10 years when a tropical storm or hurricane comes any where near our coast line the water is like 6" deep in the CENTER of channel,( normally 4' deep) because the storm sucks out the water...one delima...I have someone else's jet boat on my trailer... Doing some quick juggling now to free up my trailer...I think my NEW jet boat takes precedent. I made a ton of calls for an empty trailer...just found one to do a swap... I hate being under the gun. Looks like the storm is gonna track right in my back yard like Charlie 4 years ago... Port Charlotte is still getting back on track. Lets hope this storm is a mild one and not a Full Blown Hurricane!!!

Karl, how high is your lift getting the boat out of the water, and how does your channel rise in relation to the storm surge?
I know most of the homes on the channels here will pretty much get whatever surge the coast gets, because they are really close to the coast...just not sure where yours is, since I think you said it was fresh water
Personally, I enjoy hurricanes. It is a guaranteed day or three off of work.
They bring the family together since my folks show up at my house inland 30 miles. They live ON the beach in one of those houses on stilts about 3' above sea level, so a 4' surge, which is pretty common even with a mild storm, puts all of their property under water.
I do NOT enjoy the preparation for the storm. Everyone acts like idiots, and some of us have serious stuff to take care of, like boarding windows, moving low-lying property to higher areas (lawn mowers, washer and dryer, cars, etc.). I end up doing all of this for my parents, then loading all of their food and personal stuff into my truck to take it to my house where we have a much better chance of faring through the storm.
Prep for my house is easy. Make sure all gas tanks are full, boat is at work (inside a garage another 30 miles inland and much higher elevation), jet ski is at my house, fridge is full (of beer), etc. I have the wood cut and use plylocks to quickly snap them onto the windows if need be, but have only had to do this once. Generator is on standby so our fridge (and beer) stay cool, and we can still have lights, fans, TV, computers, fish tanks, etc. and live in relative comfort (but no A/C :ack.
Anyway, Karl and all you Florida guys, take care and stay out of harm's way :cheers:
