Yep. There were two of us in Sunnys actually. Mine was the yellow one, and my buddy's had the purple windscreen.

Right as we were pulling in to EastPort, we got the distress call from some acquaintances to come pick them up after the fuel pump died on their Crownline at IVY.

We were tied up between the bridges eariler in the day on Sunday. Saw your CC leaving the no wake headed up stream.

My peoria boating crew has really thinned out over the years...most of my go-fast buds have sold their boats...and the ones that still do have them never use them. We should tie up for a BEvERage this summer.

Yea, same guy. I would have been out with them, but decided to go to the river instead for some reason.

Ok for sure. Peoria is getting poor and tastes are moving away from "cigarette" boats.

Tell me about it. One of my buds with a blown BBC HTM would rather be on his old cruiser, and another with a 35 executioner would rather be on his womped out pontoon boat that he got for free. It's a sad state of affairs in Peoria.

Grew up in Iowa on the Mississippi and always wanted to make this journey by boat. I'm jealous.
