The two lakes we frequent are little more than streams in the winter months.

If we dont get any rain in the next week or two I will take you up on the invite.

I want to use the perfect pass and try out the new boards I picked up over the winter.
Im like a little kid that cant play with all his new toys!!!!

That sounds rough, they also do a winter draw down up here but the lakes are all back to normal summer levels. I'm headed out of town on my honeymoon a week from today but I will be back middle of the first week in June. Invite is open from then on if your situation does not improve by then. Might I suggest some reading on how to summon the rain via rain dances in the meantime?

For wheels AND tires?

Yes. They came off of a Chrysler 300. Bolt pattern is right but I was worried that the offset would be wrong. I'm sort of right. If I had inner fenders (which I don't) they would FOR SURE be in the way. I could probably space them out another 1/4" before I'd be in danger of rubbing on the outside edge of the fender but still probably wouldn't clear the inner fenders.

They are also about 1" taller than my original tire/wheel setup. This was intentional as I was hoping to gain more clearance on my prop guard. In reality, though, it's even more than 1" difference because these tires have MUCH stiffer sidewalls than my old balloon tires.

Ben, Great to see you're on the water... Must feel awesome! that extended pole really almost looks better than most towers on these comps, That's a sweet lookin set up on a calm day!!!!!

Finally took out the new (to me) Comp. Cleaned the interior, exterior, and rebuilt the raw water pump. Ran like a champ! Here's a picture from when we took it out for a cruise on the lake, and another picture of the seal that was bad on the raw water pump. It only took me about a hour to rebuild it.

I blew out the speedo tubes, but the right speedo is still dead, left one is slow. I think I need to do the pickup tubes.

Here is mine from the weekend... Ran Lake St.Claire from one side to the other. About a 30min run each way. At one point land was 15miles or greater in any direction.

Pics are from Mitchell Bay. If you are ever near this is a must stop area. Arces and arcres of sandy bottom 3.5' deep places to relax. Water temps are about 65!!

Hope your new boat house is covered against floods by insurance...
