Well I purchased a hole in the water for my money to sink in but at least it is a 2 stroke! Found a aluminum 17' bass tracker, 1 owner. Need some TLC but should serve my purposes well. The front deck is big enough to haul my bike, :laugh:

I'll gets some pics when it warms up! The lakes are actually getting back to normal after 2 years of drought. Looking forward to doing something new. I've been around boats all of my life but never owned one. Most people have told me the happiest days of boat ownership is the day you buy it & sell it. :laugh:

Back when I was single, I owned a boat. It was a lot of fun. The ladies liked it too. Too bad they liked the boat a lot more than the owner.

With the storms moving in right now, we may be looking for a hole in the ground but the lake levels sure have improved. Went riding Sunday with OKKX'r and had a great ride. A lot of mud puddles but good traction. Felt good to be on the bike.

i just read this a couple days ago: oklahoma is tops in the nation in man-made lakes. ok has more shoreline than the atlantic and gulf coasts combined.

this concludes your oklahoma trivia for today.

Got the boat out yesterday dispite the windy conditions. Stayed close to the southern shoreline and it wasn't too bad. The engine had a rich bog so we made our way back to the ramp. After loading the boat, I went to disconnect the battery and discovered I had not opened the vent on the fuel tank, DUH! All in all I'm pleased so far. I'll get some pics this afternoon after I go to the 500 and ride. ;)
BTW, my 05 YZ is still on the same spark plug that was in the bike when I finished jetting it in June of 05! Still starts 1st kick and sounds like a freshly rebuilt engine, original piston as well. Long live the two stroke!
