beautiful day to clean the V

WOW, she still looks new! where do you find the time slinger? There is no way that boat is moored 24-7.
Hey are those Etecs as good on fuel as say a 4 stroke Honda. Are they quiet as a four stroker? no smoke? smooth? Ive seen the video where they spank the Merc and yamaha on giddy up and go, but what are they not telling me in that clip? My 1990 200 merc is what it is (mostly just outdated)and Im kinda shopping and looking around and just gathering info. I really like my boat but I'm tired of the second hand smoke and the noise and the sputtering start up... I havent seen any Etecs on boats out here in Washington State yet.
 
hang belly its the real deal, my boat is moored from may til nov 15 th ,
i really like my etec its good on gas its quiet and dosent smoke at all , I had a minor set back a month ago seems the #6 cylinder wasnt gettin enough oil so the power head had to be replaced but brp stood behind it 100% and also 7 yr warranty to boot , I think if i had it to do it all over again I'd buy another one ;)
 
hey Kenny, do us a favor, just for laughs, go to the waters edge w/ a 5 gallon Spackle bucket and dig up a pile of seaweed, mussels and other assorted muck & mire....and please, just toss it right center deck of your boat. It will give it a completely different look. J/K of course.....my boat is in very good cond and very clean, but your boat is SHOWROOM nice.
 
A phrase you will never read at the beginning of an MJ post:

Lumberslinger, that is without a doubt the cleanest V I have ever seen. Absolutely bristol.
 
She was bloody last weekend, but no pix for proof. Buddy had a gill hooked rock that bled like a stuck pig ;D
 
I just realized when I took the pictures that I am a victim of this subliminal thread.

I got a lot better things to do than clean the boat but nooo, woke up this morning and that was the only thing I could think about.
Now where's the wax dammit!!
 
I looked at the entry stuff yesterday while buying boat stuff at River Services and that is bout as far as I thought of it.
Friend of mine tried to get me into it last year, just something about fishing (and hunting) contests I can't make myself do.
Last year during the redfish part I caught one with 8 spots and one class was "most spots", no I didn't enter then. :P ::)

SCRATCH ALL THAT, I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE LOCAL FISHING TOURNAMENT. ::) ::) ::) ;D
Let me look at it and see.
 
tsubaki thats one shiney hull ya got there ;D lets share cleaning tips then after that we can share recipes and beauty tips ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

phester, if your talking about mine, I still got a long way to go.
There are a lot of repainted locations above the rubrail that haven't been addressed yet.
I've had it out for a test once and the overheat horn came on (come to find out it was a faulty sensor) but did get to 42mph and 5100rpm.
I do have to idle it up some, while in the water it idles at about 500rpm.
Seems like I keep comming up with stuff to do to it but as of yesterday I think I got it fishable.
