I love towing with a car instead of a truck. I don't have the cargo room, but I did average 22-23 at over 70mph.

That's exactly right. Once the iron jenny is fired up, it's a powered vessel just like any other. I sometimes motor-sail at very low power if I have passengers on board who aren't used to sailing. It lets me keep a better cruise speed at a lower heel angle. Other than that the outboard is...

Wohoo!!!!!!

Swapping just about every single part from one SJ hull to another in front of the Makai.

Too early to start talking about 2011?

Absolutely not true. Read the Coast Guard navigation rules sometime. A sailboat under sail power in open water has right of way over every powered vessels except those not under command, restricted in ability to maneuver, or engaged in fishing. So unless you're in distress, dredging, or...

If only everyone followed that rule. First on the scene claims it.

So anyone can get into a racing sailboat and make it move? I'm not saying surfing isn't hard, I'm just saying it's not as special as some surfers claim it is. And in no way is the elitist "locals only brah" attitute of so many surfers justified.

And what feeling would that be? I've surfed for over ten years and I really don't see how the unique feelings you get from surfing are in any way different from the unique feelings you get from jet skiing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, sailing, moto-x, auto racing, etc. Sorry, but being a...

Will there be any beach carts for general use like at Wavedaze, or are we on our own there?

Found what I needed at Lowes, and I was able to rig up something to attach a 12v tire pump to the engine. It passed with flying colors, so I guess the next stop is the reeds.

Planning on leaving late Thursday night and coming back Monday evening. You? I think I worked out a test system here using a tire pump and a few fuel line fittings.

Is there anyone in Central NC who can help with a leakdown test on my 61x before Daytona? I pulled the stock head this weekend to install an ADA kit and the washout on the rear cylinder definitely indicates it's running leaner than the front. I have none of the tools with me for this, so I...

Ooh shiny...

So will people still be riding on Monday?

Can't see much with the hat and shades, but I'll be the tall pale guy trying to roll a POS squarenose.

Time for a virgin sacrifice to Poseidon. Where's a 3d rider when you need one?

I used bonding fasteners. They're basically large perforated washers with a nut welded in the center. I cut holes in the turf, roughened up the deck surface, and epoxied the fasteners in place, making sure to completely coat the top of the fastener with a solid layer of epoxy. Over a season...

Leaving late Thursday night to get there Friday morning. Staying through Monday. Wanted to come down earlier but it was hard enough getting Friday off with the new job.

I've got about 8 BR8HS plugs that I can't use anymore with the new head. Found them while rummaging through my parts box. If anyone wants them I'll bring them down to trade for beer, women, etc.
