Fired up the ol girl today
 

Getting tired of the rain here in Central IL, and not being able to plant corn, I dug out the earmuffs and ran it today. Sounded and idled well. The new bilge blower I put in ran fine.
We had our local "Prop Doc" rebuild the Skeg. It had been worn down pretty bad.
Waiting for it to hit 70 degrees on the weekend!

Hey easy, where are you located? And where do you boat? I have a 93 same colors. Looks like he did a good job on her.

I live in Champaign-Urbana in east central IL. I mostly boat at Clinton lake which is listed at 4,900 acres. It's only about 30 miles from where I live. Lake Shelbyville is about an hour or more south of Champaign and is listed at 11,000 acres. I think its 28 miles from one end to the other. That one we dont get to very often just because Clinton is so much closer and is free.

Our Mariah has had the decals redone because the interior is more of a royal blue and the exterior is more of a turquoise. It actually took me a few days after getting it before I noticed that.

I live just a bit east of you in Royal....we go to shellbyville mostly.


I can't plant corn either.......I can't do another 08.......

Re: Fired up the ol girl today
 

Oh yeah I know Royal. I plow snow for the state and I go up there from Ogden. I hate to think about 2008.
Didn't know there was a fellow Mariah owner so close.

Yep, and a buddy of mine has a smaller Shabah. I just got mine from a guy in Champaign last year. I've got smaller kids and I put a swim platform on from swimplatforms.com, it's a fantastic add-on if you were even thinking about one.

I did 08 by myself.....I'm never doing that again.
