Hey Bill
I guess you got that new 33 Outlaw SST. Man you got a grate deal on a super cool boat. You know I almost bought that Outlaw. Joan loved it and the colors but I talked her into the 36. What time are you coming down on the 20th I would love to come and see you take it out for sea trails. I will bring a camera and take some pictures of you and your new TOY so you can post them. Is your brother in law picking up his new 27 on the 20th too just let me know and I'll be their. You your brother in law and I will look good pulling three new Baja's to LOTO. Joan and I would like to go to LOTO with you and your wife and your brother in law we don't know the lake so maybe we can hook up with the LOTO gang and have them show us around. I will talk with Andy and the guys at the shop and have them go over your new boat with a fine tooth comb hell I will even go over it my self. I will go over tomorrow and climb all over it and if see about your brother in laws.CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW TOY:biggrin :biggrin :biggrin

Mercury recommends that on a new engine you bring the RPM up 200 at a time till you hit WOT for testing to see if the right props are on. I talked with Alan and he told me that he saw 5000 RPM and the boat was running ##.I bet you thought I was going to tell? I did see that one of the plastic vents was missing on the inside of the hatch but that was all I could find. I will be going on long weekend on the the 9th let me talk with Joan she has talked about wanting to go to Dale Hollow. She has got family with house boats down their but ya lets see about hooking up I will get back with you
See Ya!! Gary

Hey Bill
Joan and I hope you got to splash your boat and got it home before the ran came in. Your going to find out that keeping a 33 clean is a lot harder than your 25 was. I talked with Joan and looks like we are good to go on the Dale Hollow run if the wither hold up. Around here you never know I remember a couple times it snowed on easter and I don't like the thought of towing a 36 in the snow if you know what I mean :biggrin Good luck with your new toy

Hey Keith
If your ever up this way like for the Kentucky Derby or what ever let me know and you can stay with Joan and I. We are about 12 miles from the track. We don't go to the Derby but we do go to the Oak's. We have a little room at the house :biggrin or you can stay at the shop

The shop would be fine, nice cuddy in there!<img border=0 src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons/04.gif" /> I'll keep that in mind. Griffith is about 45 mins. from Chicago. We flew up there a few years ago to meet her folks. Went to Chicago one day. Great place. Also went to Indiana Dunes. I couldn't believe we were looking at Lake Michigan. It looked prettier than our Lake Conroe. Just couldn't swim that day because of something not right with the water.

Joan and I are going, It looks like we are going to stay in the two bedroom cabin. We are looking forward to going to Dale Hollow with you and Doug. You know if we stop on the way down for anything we are going to need a lot of room. Doug with he's 29 you with the new 33 and me with the 36. If nothing else we are going to look good going down the road. It's going to be a blast.
