Finally took some time off from the van and got busy...true ride a long with Saiger's

Got the pontoon boat out finally....no wake zone off the lake since water levels gone down.

Pontoon is 20 foot Avalon Triple toon, fully sheeted underside for air entrapment.

150hp Supercharged Mercury Verado (well maybe a 200 hp )

50 miles per hour....and crazy fun!

Last boat was as Hydrostream with 2.5 mercury efi....did 92 MPH.  Always laughed that when get rid of performance boats, would be figuring out how to make pontoons go fast!



Then, got out the supercharged Seadoo RXP (of course a few mods) that does 70 mph.  Got rid of all the race jetskis/PWC's....

First time out in 3 years.  Padded up with all the race gear (dug it out of the closet) so had race boots, 100 mph impact race lifejacket, back brace, knee brace, race gloves....I was ready!



Felt good to be back in the saddle again....well, on the PWC as I am a stand up rider to absorb all the waves and big bumps.

Had to get the jet skis up and down to the lake, so had to use the Saiger's Steam Clean Jeep  Bit of a hill in front of my house!

Good stuff Mark.

I've flipped a few classic jeeps climbing sharp inclines....can be scary. Still can't get used to a jeep with GPS screens, but I am old.

Looks like a wonderful way to spend the day, not sure where you find the motivation to work.  

Looks like lots of fun. Glad you could get away for a few hours.

Go Mark. Glad to see you guys having fun. I just thought it was a winter thing.

Thanks everyon!

Ended up having a water loss of course yesterday (Sunday) so it cut into my being off the van and being on the lake.

Still plenty booked up (this week full and next week not sure what we have for openings) and of course, we still try to squeeze in those last minute people.

The wife has surgery next week, so the way things are going, remaining summer could be cut short for fun.

I can at least say I gave it my best shot in a short time! Woo woo!

Now, it's 8:30 pm and I think I need to go to bed. Too much fun from the weekend, or too much work today
