1st trip of the year

[xpjim1]

Finally put my boat on the water Thursday, latest ever for us. Memorial Day had a seal on the oil bath hub go out and couldn't get boat to lake. Went to HAVASU on the 10th, picked up boat and drove it to my house. One of the tire treads separated from tire on the short drive. Replaced tire Thursday morning, the a mini monsoon hit HAVASU. Got on lake after the storm and it was great, very few boats, no wind, overcast and in the high 80's. the bad was my steering cable is very stiff and I think water got in my ws420 as I lost the tower speakers and crackling on the in boat speakers. By passed the 420 and all worked well. Friday got on lake earlier and another beautiful day. Very little wind and very few boats. Saturday another great day. Lots of tige's on the lake. 24V's were well represented. Overall taught a few new people how to surf, had another driver so I could surf and got a well deserved vacation. Now have to decide if I should replace steering cable myself or take to dealer.

Gotta love boat ownership. Sorry to hear about the run of bad luck, Jim.

Best wishes for more successful trips.

I would seriously consider replacing the rest of the tires if your funds allow it. Especially if they are more than a couple of years old. The others tires are probably on their way out.

Hope to see you on September 20-21 for the Lake Mead reunion.

Glad to hear you made it work despite the problems. What brand tires were they and what did you choose for the new tires?

They were towmaster's. the tire shop replaced them under warranty with the only othe brand they had Commodore's.
