TWIN FINN's Water & Engine Test a SUCCESS!

It's A New Woody Day!!

For most of you woody boaters out there a water test is not a big deal before a June Show in Tahoe.  However, in Idaho, it IS a big deal because the ice on the lake has not "transformed" into water.......
AND it is VERY difficult to get this thru the thick skull of your commando-officer/boat-owner/best-friend!!
So.....finally, the BIG day;  the owner makes a special trip to FLY here to be WITH YOU on the test day (........ugh.......gee, THANKS)
The ice is actually off the lake (for ten days now (I think)) and the sun is actually shining;  there is intermittent rain BUT NOT snow flurries;  this is ALL good.
OKAY......here we go......
Car to storage.  Boat trailer hooked to car.  Transport to Marina.  UGHhh........Is the water even high enough NOT to scrape that BRAND NEW BRASS PROP on the cement drop into the water???.... YES!!!!!  Made it.  Boat off trailer. 
Owner happy.  All is good.
Boat floating.  This is good.
We wait, wait and wait some more........not a DROP of water thru that new 3M5200 bottom.......PERFECT!
Turn over.......come on........turn over........(engine has not been started in........almost...... two years)........Don acts teenage'ish and siphons (yes, that IS what I said) the gas (via mouth) into the line and VVVRRROOOMM!!!!!!!  The blast of the Christ Craft motor!!
Again......all is PERFECT!! This is all good.  Everyone HAPPY!
Here we go...........

SWEET!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!

Need I say More!!!!!!!?????????

See you in Tahoe!!!!!!!!!!
