    Joe, There is no problem replying with my cell now. I'll check the lap top a little later.
    Joe, can reply on cell, can't on computers.

        Greg,
        This sounds like fun not sure where I will start, but I plan on attending. I took the grey tarp off the motor and let all 60 horses go for a 20 minute run last week. Lowell

              Kelly, I'm happy to hear that your trying to get ready for this event. Last year we ended up with six boats and we had a good time. We launched at the ramp in Renton which is fairly expensive ($20) so I thought we would launch at Magnuson to save a little money. Some people don't like Magnuson because it is a little shallow but I've never had any problems there. People with a deep vee haul might have problems getting launched but most of our boats with there flat hauls don't have that problem. I plan on being out for as long as I can because I'm in the middle of getting break in time on my lower unit. We will decide on our float plan at the dock meeting before we leave. Hope you can make it.

                Hmm, maybe I'll put in at Seward Park and motor up to Magnuson. I'll check out the website and see.

                  Greg, I really want to make this (really I have to) cause this is about a month before opening day and it is always a great way to shakeout issues before the big parade day... I would launch at Magnuson, even though I am one of those people who has had trouble there (some might remember my copilot falling off the bow trying to get boat on trailer, that cost me a $200 smart phone!)

                    Brian, I hope to be there and in the water early so I can help people launch if they need me. Hope to see you there.

                      Chuck had a problem launching there as well. The boat wouldn't come off the trailer.

                      Sorry Chuck, I couldn't resist.

                              We've all had those days...if you haven't, you will eventually. It's kinda like motorcycle riders; there are two kinds of riders, those that have laid a bike down, and those that will.

                                Well after looking at that pic above of the launch, it doesn't look like it would be too much of a problem. I'll probably end up launching with everybody if I make it.
