Forum guys goin out this week

[silkeysak]

Talked to Johnboy88Vegas today. We're both Savannah, Ga. guys, so we're putting in at Butterbean Park (better known as the Redneck Riviera) for a day out this week. Weather should be in the mid eighties and sunny this week. Having timing set in the morning after changing the timer base. I just had my prop worked to add more cup, and I'm anxious to see how it goes. Johnboy says he can't get any bowlift, but I think it's his prop. Gonna let him try one of mine to see what happens. Hope it warms up soon for you guys. We're already out makin' steam.

Its chilly here tryed to snow but couldnt get it done putting lower unit on my Valero this weekend well be going out mon rivers high gota watch for debris logs saw a mattress earlier this week wish people would pick there cr@p up befor spring flood .

The water temp here is only 66 deg., but the sun is pretty warm. If I go in the Savannah River, we still have some debris coming down, so you have to be careful. Me and Johnboy are going out in the marsh rivers toward the coast though. It's pretty brackish, but ther's no deadwood floating. Did you know your boat runs faster in salt water than fresh? I guess it's more dense, and the boat can get out of the water easier. Maybe we'll get some pics or a short vid for you guys. Heck, it's mid April. Winter sould be over soon for you guys. I hope so, I want to here some good stories.

Hey Rut, where do you boat? That creek by Burlington shows no sign of boats on Google Earth. It didn't even show a name. Are you going up to the big lake?

[Rut311969]

Mississippi river between lock&dam 18 -19 big old mud puddle it about a 30 -40 mile stretch .Wouldnt mind coming down that way some day. Rivers runnig high right now been using work boat to go out to much trash floating to go fast .

[silkeysak]

I'll try to check it out and see if I can spot it. You're welcome here anytime you want to come. Lots of cool marshland and rivers here. Hope you break that logjam soon! I hate people that use the water for a trash dump.

Ice ice baby before the flood and logs it was the ice thank god for plate boats.

Is that a motor I see? Were you actually out in that?

[Rut311969]

Yeah thats a motor we break ice till it gets 4-5 inches thick then we ride to cabin this is in front of my cabin its on a island and we dont like cabin fever .Hell Ive walked beside the boat as we break ice to get to cabin were a little loco river is going to crest at 21ft if you guys would shut off the northen rain & snow . My plate boat is made out of 1/4 inch sheets of aluiminum with ice brakers on bottum .We've floated down river on big sheets of ice the size of a football field before .
