Yes it did.

Busy day. Taping everything off took forever. Painting was fun knowing the tape job was good. Still have the top portain to do but very happy with the way the side rails and front will turn out after removing the tape.

Oklahoma a few years back said do not eat the fish you catch. Now 20 years later they are dancing to a different drummer. Mainly because the local government got tired of the corporations polluting our waterways. The restrictions cost a few jobs in this state and rubbed a lot of folks the wrong...

You guys talk like two strokes are a dime a dozen. Well guess what they are not. They quit selling them years ago. Wake up and smell the coffee. You're all acting like you got one over on everybody. Oh yea am the man with my 20 year old two stroke. Your not. Granted it was a good motor during...

For the first time in a long while Oklahoma lakes got a clean bill of health for eating fish taken. Massive water management programs for the last 20 years has paid off. A few rivers are marginal for people with health conditions. Deer have never been a problem.

They have small tin boats for sale that are full of trash sacks and leaves and are asking between $750.00 to $1500. A boat exactly like mine was listed for $800.00. Same year and make but in horrible shape. Looked at a Tohatsu 6 HP that was five years old and the guy wanted $1800.00. Claimed he...

Yesterday Got nothing done on the boat. Ended up taking my sister who just moved here from California out sightseeing and lunch.

I believe they tried doing that in some of the lakes around the Kansas border. Have no clue on how it worked out.

After two hip replacements I got up to 301 LBS. Now down to 265 LBS. Sticking to diet until I hit 200 LBS. I took the metal tag off the transom and attached it to the refrigerator door. It is a big motivating factor to read the weight limit on the boat and just walk away.

Oklahoma fish and game is requesting people to keep the smaller bass and not release them. Overpopulation of 1-3 pound bass in all lakes. They even supple recipes for cooking them. Years of catch and release worked a little to well from what they reported. Minimum size limit on flathead is gone...

Got one. Heater is in the bathroom enclosed in what looks like a cabinet. Pan and drain required. Kicked my rear exchanging it out. Should be good to go for the next 7 or so years.

Not a performance upgrade. Just a few upgrades to make it last longer and run a little smoother and idle lower.

Pulled Instructions and warranty out of box. Read instruction and send warranty info off. The outboard stays in the box in the shed until next month Have a appointment for a few upgrades which will be done by a shop in Eufaula Oklahoma. They are a certified shop for repairs on Mercury / Tohatsu...

Perfect weather all day. Got the top rail lightly sanded and ready for primer. Decided to go with the touch up work on the blue paint. It was not much just a few areas were I sanded out some minor runs with 320 grit. Light wind and a low of 57 degrees throughout the night which is perfect. Laid...

As I make improvements on the outboard I will post. 👍

Paint Day :)

A running 2 stroke 9.9 runs about $3500.00 in Eastern Oklahoma. That is if you can even find one. Spent 5 months searching Oklahoma for a 2 stroke and gave up. Most of the outboards that I went out and looked at were pure basket cases not worth buying.

Zip if your talking motorcycles on the RD400 have I got a story for you. My first real bike was a RD350. Spent 3 months back in 1975 staring at a Yamaha sign overseeing M.C.R.D. San Diego California. The day I graduated took a cab over to the Yamaha dealership and bought a brand new 350 RD. Last...

Well no fresh paint on boat but did get the new water heater installed and working. Freaking thing by the time the fat lady song cost about $550.00 dollars. That is Ok. Weather for the next 5 days will be in the upper sixty's and low seventy's. No freezing temps overnight and very low humanity...
