Boat Rant

http://www.dscokc.com/ We are really excited about the show this year, it's the First Year they have invited the Classic Glastrons, we will be taking bothe the Scimitars and Barbs Stunning Intimidator .... see ya there Red

I hooked the speedo tube this time, and had the GPS on, but, like always, the vibration shut the GPS down, the speedo wraps almost all the way around to the peg @ 5800 rpm, I'm pretty sure 76 / 78 mph I came into the cove at 55 mph, then opened the throttle at 1.10 min on the video. the prop spins out on full...

Here's a link to some pictures of the parade, and if anyone else took some please post them up here. I think it was probably the best one we have had so far, there were 26 decorated boats, the fireworks display was Fantastic, an d there were Thousands of people lined up and down the shore of the river ......

Just got a call from Cindy Pickins inviting us to join in on the Holidays Boat Parade on the Oklahoma river at Bricktown the 25th, day after Thanksgiving. the Fox and I have participated in this parade the last several years, it is a lot of fun ! the parade extend about 1 1/2 miles up and back on the river,...

What a month it has been here on Lake Texoma, the weather patterns are more extreme than Ive ever witnessed with a high of 18 degrees one week and a low of 61 degrees the next. I saw the lake surface temperatures plunge to 37 degrees some places and spring back to 55 degrees in other places. The fish have j...

Winter patterns are finally setting in here on Lake Texoma. Water temperature is at 49⁰ and elevation is normal. Every year around January, the fish go through a transition as the water temperature drops into the 40s. It seems like one day after catching limits for several days straig...

Hopefully not this bad.

So a 69 Gulf Cruiser (Glastron) was listed today on CL at 12:30and I called the owner at 1:50 who said he could show me the boat but call back in 1 hr to be sure He could meet me. Impatiently I called in 45 minute after getting the cash out of the bank and started heading his way and He told me someone called af...

Anybody know where to go boating in the South Carolina upstate area ? We are used to running arround, tubing, hanging out at beach and sand bars. It won't bother us to drive a little. We live on the south side of Spartanburg in Spartanburg county right off 176. I'm trying to find good places an...

i haven't been on this forum in a while, hopefully i didn't miss too much. here is what is happening at the st augustine florida boat ramp. OUCH!

Woohoo, finally got it back from warranty stuff being done on it!!! The bad is that the dealership was broken into and everybodys props were stolen, including my last Enertia prop.........

I brought the CVX-23 home on Sunday. I think the CVX-16SS is jealous. i started cleaning her up yesterday and today. I will take more pictures on Tuesday. cannot wait to get her on the water!!!!! pdv

I don't think it's my turn but the lake needs a trim. Sad days from Lake Travis. This is why I brag about boating in winter -- Edited by BillyB on Friday 7th of August 2009 06:14:42 PM -- Edited by BillyB on Monday 10th of August 2009 07:40:00 PM

So, if you look at the pic I attached, its a snapshot of the log I keep of all of the things I have done to the boat since I bought it 4/2006. I know its not readable. What I want everyone to see is the colors. On the left column, its the year by color: '06 is blue, '07' is teal, '08 is red, and '09 is purple.The Yell...

hey Glenn, RED, Walt, Kevin and you other GlastroNuts..... I have been buried at work again and just came up for air. Started working on the CVX16SS to go to the lake and my wife was not too enthused becuase she is tired of the small size and how we have to cram everything in the boat. And my daughter wants to...

I stumbled across this today. This guy built some pretty sick stuff! His site has not been updated in a while, but here it is. http://www.turbineboat.com/index.htm

In Okc on the Oklahoma River this Frisay Saturday and Sunday. Pit entrance is at 15th & Portlans just west of I-44 behind the Dell computer complex

Thought you southern Boys and Girls might like to see a few videos from up here in the MN / WI chapter... Happy Boating!!! [URL=http://s594.photobucket.com/albums/tt24/cgoamn/Video/?action=view&current=Picture097.flv][IMG]http://i594.photobucket.com/albums/tt24/cgoamn/V...

I met Glenn and Debra down a Lake Lewisville ... thats him driving the Scimitar, he didn't like it but I did, cause I wasn't in there with him LOL [video=http://www.youtube.com/w...

I got another prop to try out today and called my buddy Mike to meet me at the lake with his GPS, the Scimitar run 68.4 in moderate chop, but when those waves from the wakeboard boats show up I've learned to slow down for them. My buddy Tom from the prop shop met us out there with a BaJa jet boat with a built up 46...

Hey all! Brian here from www.cgoamn.com up in MN. I thought that I would scour the boards to see if I could find someone that has a CVX-20 rub rail nose cap. I was out today with my new rig, and dinged up the nose cap. In fact, I broke it in half. Of course, I understand that it's going to be a pain to try and...

I took TJ out to the lake for the first time this year. She ran great! 50mph @ ~5000. The air was warm, but the water is Damn Cold! I didn't get any pictures, but I managed to shoot a short video before the batteries died. Can't prepare for everything! I thought it was set for pics, but it wasn't. I'll...

So what's the Skinny over here? Is everyone done with the boating season since its past Labor Day? If so thats weird I thought the only thing you couldn't do was wear white shoes after Labor day. Any big plans for the rule breakers? I'm a rule breaker, We actually have 2 more trips planned this month, Lake...

This is on the front page of the Washington Daily News today http://www.wdnweb.com/articles/2008/11/14/news/news01.txt

Florida Fiberglass Works is working on a design for a one piece fiberglass hatch for the CV23. No more rot and no drips on the engine. I would like to hear from owners if anyone is interested in one of these and also some suggestions for tweaking the design. My boat was missing everthing but the hinges riv...

This is the last wwekend of the Dallas Boat show, anyone plan on going? I'm taking my little brother, he has never been. This time I plan on NOT leaving with a boat! I'll take some pics and post them, any request?

Didnt make it to the big Boat party yesterday "Rockin-the-Docks". A little cool and ended up having a little too many alcoholic beverages. Way too many boat cops at those events to risk BUI. So we were rocked at the dock. :) But that morning I did go for a motorcycle ride and stumbled across th...

What type of boat engines have you run and what's been your fav? Inboard, Outboard, Stern drive etc.
