I never once had to go below to move stuff around so it wouldn’t vibrate. The engine didn’t smoke and ran smoothly….even at an idle.!!
We were only out for 3 nights and traveled about 130 miles. So far, we are very happy with the rebuild. It should have been this way when we first put it in the water a few months ago…..the problem was in the way the rebuilt fuel pump had been set. They made it good…but it took Jim the better part of a day each time he had to remove it and take it to Orlando.
On our way S of Lake Monroe, we spotted these Sandhill Cranes in a backyard. He’s sure strutting his stuff.
This one must have seen the camera and wanted to pretty up.
After we checked out Mullet Lake, we headed N.
How about these for mowing your lawn….recycle the grass clippings into fertilizer for the flowers, and they eat just about anything. Cute little fellas.
It’s been very hot!! Afternoon thundershowers are the norm now. This one chased us across Lake George. Managed to dump a few sprinkles on us but didn’t cool it down much.
Once in the spring we both took time too cool off in the clean, clear water.
The otters were having a good time too.
They woke us up in the morning playing around and under our boat. This one swam right up and looked at us. Take a look at his webbed foot.
There were at least 6. Here a couple are sharing a log.
On our way home we spotted a few gators. This one was pretty good sized.
I guess it’s time to start getting the parts together for the hardtop. Bummer….and I’m ready to go boating again.
All in all, it was a great trip. The boat ran the best it has every run since we’ve had it.
