We were actually at Aventura, about an hour south of Moon. Damn nice though. I drank enough rum to kill a small horse. Weather wasn't too bad, about like here. You going to be able to make our run Saturday?

I was actually referring to your "honeymoon"
I stayed at the Aventura about 3 years ago. It was really nice. Prob. going to go back next year.
I wanted to make the run but my family is having a birthday party at the "Beach" on the south shore of Lake Pont. behind UNO.
I am being forced to take the boat to the party so we can "give rides".

Gotcha. Honeymoon was great.
Let us know when y'all plan a trip down there, we could probably be convinced to tag along. Sucks you'll miss our run but as long as you're getting that thing in the water and burning gas its ok. We need to plan something for the 4th of July weekend.

One suggestion would be to make sure they get you a room on the south side of the resort. There are seperate pools, lobby's, etc for north and south. The south is where all the partying is, and the better resteraunts. They play bingo and trivia at the north pool.
Hope you enjoy it, let me know if you need any other info.

Several months ago I was at Joey Griffins outside of Washington NC, he had a Cig. in the paint shop and I noticed the bottom of the boat from mid ship back had little to no strakes to hold the boat in a turn. Several years ago Raul Boisel (spelling) spun out his cig in a turn, looked like he was running about 30 MPH. If the strakes do not hold the rear of the boat and you turn fast or hook the bow, you know what happens, round she goes, riders go out ect. I really like the boats and the rigging is second to none, but there is a lot of them going that have spun out.

Joey has only had 2 Cigs. Mine and Rogman's.
A TG TS is just like any other twin step boat. If you are turning while slowing down, the bow may drop and spinning out is a possibility. Spinning out is ALWAYS driver error. That error is one reason alone for taking Tres' class.
