The Outboard Church

[lake p.a.l.]

4 of us on the C Dory at Canyon Lake yesterday in the rain. Couple of small waterfalls. On the way back to launch ramp we saw a handful of bighorn sheep with 1 very small baby. Had an incredible time, stayed dry & warm all day

These lakes in the Phoenix area are well known for DUI patrol, we took it very easy & had a fantastic day

From the Michigan Chapter let's bless Kevin with a new 2.5 and maybe with some luck after 22 years I can get back out to sperm burpistan and rum the delta.

We are starting a “ Go fund my broke shit” page for him. Donations are pouring in.

 

[Markus]

Folks, keep your eyes open for 280 blocks with smaller windows in them.

 

[War Canoe]

the resurrection has begun....
Kev has another block and is assembling the new beast. Let us pray for longevity. Kevin asked for “eternal” life for his 2.5...
“ Hey buddy, nobody gets an eternal 2.5. We all know they are buzz boxes that blow. The Church will pray for longevity.”

Sheesh, I mean we do work miracles, but driving at 10,000 rpm costs money!

2023 boating season is in full perfection mode here the Keys. Content Key today with some good friends. Everyone has fishing boats but me. I’m too old or set in my ways to go the CC route.

LOL, I try to keep my long distance motors at 8000 rpm. I'll make some phone calls tomorrow, some of my Canaderp contacts have very nice things stashed away up there.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Kev sorry it finally gave up but that was a hell of a run. Especially knowing 1st hand how you run it, amazing really.

That Florida Keys running sure looks inviting this time of year

Bring the Shadow down and do some running in the back country. I’m still learning myself but getting better. Water depth changes happen almost instantly.

[lake p.a.l.]

Had a fantastic day

 

[War Canoe]

Waterfalls and young tarts. Good as beer and pretzels.

 

[lake p.a.l.]

Waterfalls, beer, & pretzels = WAY less headaches than any tarts....

 

[War Canoe]

Can’t we have it all? Where’s my beer?

 

[War Canoe]

As a child, I let my scooter do the talking.

 

[War Canoe]

Lmao!

Hot wife & me got our 3 month old boy, Maz, out on the cruiser yesterday. It was his 1st boat ride & he loved it. He walked into the water halfway up his legs & seemed to enjoy it. Incredible lunch at Lakehouse13

Now doing temp barrier and friction coatings on heads and pistons.

Please explain this process & the benefits. Thanks, I'm dumb

 

[stoker2001]

When shit goes nuclear hot from lean fuel mixture,detonation or lack of coolant,the thermal/temp barrier coating will help keep the piston from melting (hopefully).Friction coatings are just that,usually most common area applied is to piston skirts,helps lower friction for less scuffing and less heat

My old 19’ DCB ... 1st DCB made...
James ‘ 19’ Daytona on the left. Some lucky guy now owns both!

 

[War Canoe]

It was a center steer when I owned it. Unique stepped bottom. I sold it back to Dave at DCB .
Dave sold it to Tony Chiramonte at DCB...
Still in Havasu I’m told.

 

[77 SLEEK]

I believe they are owned by a guy named Roger Sayles. He also has some really cool DCB Mach 22s Somewhere in Havasu.

 

[War Canoe]
