Default 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!

    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.

    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.
