      You can watch the video and figure out the main points and make your own route in between. Google Virginia Back of the dragon 16 (I believe) then, The Kentucky Dragon, (I have a shot of the sign 60??) and you can pick your own way there and back between them. There are only so many ways around those mountains.

      It was steep downhill so the rear braking was assist couldn't be used as heavy as I tried to apply it. All that was saving the rear by letting off, straightening up and trying to redive in the curve and because I had less time to make it, I put too much rear brake in it again. The front was holding the whole time. Just so ya know.

      Fuel Injection light on sporadically. Its a flaw in the programming that the later years solved. You used to could take in in for a reflash and fix it. Dealers have long let that equipment go, I can't find someone with the means to plug into it and the software to do it. There is also a rumored fix to reroute some wiring harness to get it away from the plug wires and coil, but that didn't seem to help this one. Its a useless light anyway.

      @Thinwater Před 4 měsíci

      Yes. Its about time for a repaint, but its ready to go as is right now. May put up a fishing pictures montage before long and you can see it again. Fishing shallow rivers with family, it draws 2.5" of water and the jet foot draws 2.5" more dead drift. Running its drawing less than 4" I'd suspect at the motor. If I was only fishing, not occasionally camping in it, I'd build it to the lower trim line and leave off the cabin. because of its low draft and high sides, its a weathervane in the wide open. I have to throw an anchor off the rear and let the front settle downwind to fish out of it in the wide open, otherwise the trolling motor on the front is in a never ending battle with the wind.
