And then you have to fill her up with fuel!

 

[RussGW270]

Lol, she is full of fuel atm, actually...heh...lucked out on that one

Maybe.........

 

[RussGW270]

Well, that is true.. heh. I want to run her out and then.. a real stickler of mine.. spend a few hundred bucks and have the fuel tanks and lines cleaned out. Too often we use 1/3 the gas onboard and over time, that builds up with old gas until things stop working.. but... I do NOT want to waste 200 gallons of fuel.. lol

So, additives, and burn it out

Ok.. not "burn".... go through most of it.. lol

Come next Thursday...I will have a date that it will be in my driveway, or I will have a new shipper, guaranteed

 

[RussGW270]

Boat will be here by the next weekend. They called and said they bumped me in front of Arkansas and so expect to pick her up tue-wed and head here

 

[Halfhitch]

Russ, Did you go look at the boat or is this a sight-unseen purchase?

 

[RussGW270]

Eh, took a live stream...but no, I did not go see it. Not worried, the guy spent 2600 rebuilding the trailer, sent a 600 dollar check, without my knowledge, because he felt bad the radio was broken and one bilge pump was acting up, so...not worried. I can fix anything else.

He is also paying a 200 fee to load it all onto a flat bed, even though I said I would pay for it. Worst case, transom jacked up... can be fixed....engines can die a week after a survey...I am not worried.

 

[Halfhitch]

Sounds like a standup guy.

 

[RussGW270]

Yea, he is. Wife and I sent him a sampler pack from Southside BBQ this week.. lol.. so he is a stand up guy, that is eating well this weekend lol
