Its not about the fastest boat like you said it"s about having a good time! And also your wife is a free spirit!! She really loves to enjoy the boat wish my wife would have enjoyed my 27 Activator with a blower motor.
its so awesome to see u back in the water!!! great job I know from my experience what you did wasn't easy you should be proud of your accomplishment I hope to see more and maybe one day Ill make it to one of those runs in the future
Since watching yalls videos it makes me wanna go. I'd like to hit this one, lake Lanier and lake Chamberlain in Kentucky. I normally do the Texas Outlaw Challenge in Seabrook, the Lonestar Thunder run on lake Travis and last year hit Lake of the Ozarks. Going back to LOTO this summer.
@@BarrowedTime Our first boat together was a frozen and broken 454 replaced it in time to blow an outdrive cruising down the Ohio, replaced with another Outdrive to be broken down at the Cumberland Poker Run, Got it fixed to Blow that outdrive, bought a new outdrive and got it wrapped up in someones boat cover, we finally bought our Cruiser and have been very fortunate since then, based on the wreck and followed by the much more expensive boat that you are working on I really do sympathize and hope your family gets the answer you are looking for, anyway I can help? I can imagine Lake Cumberland is missing you two! Drive the motor home and take out Recovered Change?
Hey man just had a quick question. If I wanted to own/operate and maintain a boat just like yours with around the same hours, how much money would you recommend that someone would have to make a year to be able to comfortably afford the payment, major or minor repairs and maintenance, fuel, insurance, slip fees and winter storage? I own a small 3 bedroom home, not married, no kids and my monthly bills are around $2,300 a month now and I currently make $80k a year at my job. I'm guessing I would need to make at least $120k a year before I even think about getting into a plus 32' go fast and not be strapped for cash. Could you please respond to that question?
Well, it really depends on how much the boat costs you. It's getting hard to get loans on boats older than 20 years. You can still finance them, but you may have to put more down or finance on shorter terms. Insurance will cost you on average $200 a month, give or take. Most all the boat we've had average 1mpg, that should give you an idea on fuel usage. Regular maintenance is basically oil changes on 2 engines once a year, raw waterpumps every other year or so, and in our case maintenance on a trailer. We're not anywhere near a lake or marina to keep it in a slip. And we enjoy not being tied down to one body of water. Our boat stays at our house all year so.we don't have to pay for winter storage and I do all the maintenance and work on it.
@@BarrowedTime I would be interested in getting a 32' twin engine go fast for around the $75k mark. For something like that, do you think making around $120k a year would be a good benchmark to be able to afford it and run it once or twice a week? I would prob only drive around 50miles per week with it.
@richr909 I would think so. Always try to buy the biggest boat you can afford, haul, and store. That way you're not losing money trying to upgrade all the time for 1 or 2 feet extra.
@@BarrowedTime Ok. Yeah 32' is prob as big as I can go. Now for a career change to see how I can make and extra $40k a year lol. Thanks alot for responding. You're the only go fast owner who ever answered that question for me either in person or online. Appreciate it because now I have a financial target to shoot for. Take care!!
We really appreciate that. Unfortunately, the reason for the oil change in the parking lot was a cracked exhaust port in the head. Looks like we'll be down again for a few weeks 😪
I pulled the plugs when we got home from the lake and found water on the #5 plug. Figured it had to be the header since I just had engine rebuilt. Pressure tested the headers with air and water, both cold and hot and no signs of leaks. Then rigged up some fittings to pressure test the block and heads. As soon as I applied air pressure I had water spraying out the #5 exhaust port. So off came the head!
Great video as always! Shane is still the highlight reel!
Great Video guys! Thanks for sharing
Thank you!

@@richr909 you're welcome. I don't know why people get so secretive when it comes to their finances and trying to help others.
Love u guys . Have to say most of us were sad when u said the boats for sale . Glad u had a great weekend
We really appreciate that. Unfortunately, the reason for the oil change in the parking lot was a cracked exhaust port in the head. Looks like we'll be down again for a few weeks 😪
@Barrowed Time how did you find the crack in the exhaust port?
I pulled the plugs when we got home from the lake and found water on the #5 plug. Figured it had to be the header since I just had engine rebuilt. Pressure tested the headers with air and water, both cold and hot and no signs of leaks. Then rigged up some fittings to pressure test the block and heads.

As always enjoyed the video, what other poker runs you doing this season?
Currently the boat is down again. Not for sure when we'll get it fixed and be back out.
How you liken the new Blue Oval?
We love it. Doesn't even know the boat is there.
Never got this stuff !?? Go race it !! 😂😂😂😂
Glad you had an uneventful, fun weekend, hope to see you guys at Thunder Run
