First trip out for 2022!

#1 Post by curtiscapk » Tue Jun 07, 2022 9:53 am

Well we finally made it out! Just the admiral and I and mascot. Ran great with new plugs. The floor was water logged from 10" of rain we've gotten lately (lake was 6 ft high) we actually hit 20! Almost shot the new flare gun for fun... JK Momma wasn't having it!

Seats are holding up well! Enjoy the pics! Hope everyone is good!

Cool! :biggrin2

Nothing like getting out on the water. Always good to see pictures!

Craig.. good to see y'all getting back out on the water. Man, I need to get my boat serviced and back on Caddo Lake. Haven't touched it in 2 years... But before I can take her out need to get it serviced, including draining that 2 year old fuel out first.

Yep ROLAND I was worried about my old 5 -10 gallons. I treated it last year but it was still pretty stinky. Added 10 gallons and besides taking a bit to start (normal for first due of the year) She ran great. Just do it! Hopefully you catch more fish than I did. :? :?

Always great to get out.
But looking at all those old breadcrumb trails clogging up your Striker screen gives me OCD and want to break a window to delete them. :hammer

We've put 88 hours on ours since I changed the upper oil and lower oil in November. A bunch of family members (kids, grandkids, BIL, nephews, and more) are arriving here starting tonight for an extra-long weekend. The next few days will be way, waaay hotter than normal: 100F, 101F, 102F, 104F, 103F - but the lake is currently 78F so that works!

I will add: "God bless Willis Carrier!" :lol3 :lol3

Right! I'm too busy! it's starting to bother me too. I'll get to it eventually. Then when I'm lost on our 20 mile lake I'll blame you! :rofl :rofl :devillol

I try to delete my active track as soon as I get back to my dock.
I do gave one track that I saved, along with @ 70-80 waypoints that I’ve saved over the years.

Looks like it was a good time. Sometimes it's just so peaceful to cruise along under a cloudy sky.
