Hi there,
if he realy thinks about repairing it ? I know the company to go to, It would be alot stronger and still run the same than it did.
The Guy there know's his $hit, had my old boat repaired there and i am racing the pi$$ out of it. NO problems what so ever.
And ya still ask him about the tabs, i only need the bottom plates not the whole thing.
Thanks.

Hey guys..what's the itinerary..where is the Capt. meeting and where is the pre party on Friday..Thanks Jeff


I also wanted to say I'm glad that no one was hurt, and a lesson was learned not only by the driver and occupants but it will teach us all to be more careful and considerate when operating a vessel with this big poker run coming this weekend. Let's all be safe out there..no alcohol till finished, no late night driving to fast...and...only thongs and no bongs on all boats, at least that should be brought up at the drivers meeting

Capt party thursday nite at 7 pm Hooters in Baton Rouge. There is 2 hooters, it is NOT the one on college drive. Forgot what the name of street its on. This is one we go to.
Capt party Friday nite at Hooters in New Orleans, have to go to web site to see address.
Friday from 2-7 PM at Sun Buns (canal at Manchac Pass) bar will be open and live band "Wasted Days" will be playing. Good local band. This will be a good pre-run and a chance to just hang out with some really down to earth good people.
Friday night will be a good time to be had at Tin Lizzies as always with all the locals. This is where Lea and I will be. Resturant is open also till around 9 pm.
Jassman hope to meet you and all others at some point over weekend. You can ask anyone behind bar at sun buns or Tin Lizzies and they will point us out.
You are right about the drinking and driving. Sunday night wildlife and fisheries had a check point at the no wake zone at Tin Lizzies. Have never seen that and I'm there most every weekend. Seen a couple of people get hauled in to the "drunk shack" under the bridge over the weekend also. Our TV coverage from the river on TRU TV was not very flattering and and we may see an increase in boat checks.

Kenny/Jass, it's the Hooters on Siegen Lane. Very easy to find. If you're coming in from the Tickfaw, take 12 to Airline Highway, go South on Airline Hwy a couple miles to Siegen Lane. The intersection is Siegen if you turn right and Sherwood Forest Blvd to the left. Turn right and Hooters is down about a mile. If you pass I-10 you've gone too far.

See you guys there.

I'm gonna try to get outta the shop around 4:30 if possible and make a run to Sun Buns. If nothing else, I've gotta get gas Friday evening.

What kind of fuel mileage does that boat get on land?

team Tickfaw

Croozin, We will get to hooters around 7 I think. Don't know if we will take boat out friday or not. Put gas in her before we left last weekend. May just drive Lea's "scooter pooter" over to sun buns and get Damon to pick us up.
Have you SEEN the water in Mauspas???? It is lime green. Never seen this before. Did the firemans run and was shocked. Heard it was from when spillway gates were open.
Talked to the people that picked up the two that were in the water from the accident. Is the boat still in the trees? Looked for the entry into the swamp and never could find it.....

team Tickfaw

Thanks for the directions. Never been to this one.

How the hell are they going to get that boat out of there?

Croozin2

Actually, got the boat out Monday. Cut a bunch of trees to get some room, used come-alongs to get it near the water's edge and lifted it with a track-hoe and set it on a barge. Rumor is insurance is picking up the tab and all they want out of the boat is engines/drives. The rest will probably be salvaged. Shame.
