You will never make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, Gerald. Pigs are everywhere. It's hard to find a trash pile in flying Eagle. This is only the second time, as far as I know, than an outside concert of live music has been produced for airboaters only. First one was a year ago. Matt Farris and JB ...

Hope to see a good turnout for tomorrow -- our favorite playground needs a little spiffing up.

Lariat - I replied on PM.

The drawing will happen after everyone is fed and the auction has been completed. The winning ticket wll be the last order of business -- purely guessing - mid afternoon.

Bud's airboating woes have been a well documented and an ongoing saga for years. Most of us on here are frugal. We have to be. Bud has been told LOTS of times what will fix his stated issues and he usually works twice as hard to find a $$$ shortcut that has never worked out, so he has to chase hard ...

We are down to the wire on the drawing for KRVSA's incredible Diamondback Custom Hull and Rigging / Jurnigan Engines and Parts 0-540 AV / Ramlin Trailer / Sensenich Propeller. IF you want to buy tickets ONLINE, you only have until Thursday morning. Go to: www.KRVSA.com If you come to Shady Oaks, you...

Lots of folks pull 7'10" wide bottoms, Bud. The wider the bottom, the lower amount of power to put it on top and the higher it floats. The CHEAPEST fix is to replace your hull with a wider, flat bottom surface. I have not seen a photo of your bottom's shape -- but, I'd bet it is not flat for the ent...

Bump

Bud, You don't have an 8' wide hull. You have a 6'8" or whatever - wide hull. The width at the top has NO BEARING on hull stability in the water. 7'9 or 10" is usual on hulls that are 8' at the top. Your engine and house are very high for any airboat. If you drop the house a foot and lower your engi...

There will be an auction of miscellaneous items the Clean-Upbased out of Shady Oaks. KRVSA's regular monthly meeting is this Thursday at the restaurant at Bartow Airport. We have the place to orselves and they have very good food. You don't have to be a member to attend. All are welcomed and like ev...

One free meal for every bag of trash turned in. Trash bags will be available at Camp Mack, Port Hatchineha, and Shady Oaks y 8:...

Westgate River Ranch Resort has posted on their FB page "they will sell $50.00 rooms for the next 50 hours" -- could be a huge bagain for nearby accommodations for KRVSA's Lake Clean-Up

KRVSA's Kissimmee Lake Clean-Up is a terrific way for Florida's Students to earn Public Service credits. Bring their paperwork and we'll sign off when they bring i a bag of lake trash. One big lunch meal free for every bag turned in.

Every bag of trash turned in will get you a free meal. IF you have never visited Shady Oaks, this is a great reason. There's enough trash from Thr Ridge to The Bus to fill a hungred bags. Or you can fill a couple of bags at the fence corner at BS Hill, or a dozen at the Yacht Club, or MANY other pla...

For the latest on KRVSA's Lake Cleanup at Shady Oaks, new club marsh-front property and a host of other exciting news -- come to KRVSA's monthly club meeting tomorrow - Thursday night at Bartow Airport Restarant 6:30 eats / 7:00 meets - US 17 -

KRVSA has moved the Lake Cleanup to Shady Oaks. For several very good reasons, the anual Kissimmee Lake Cleanup has been moved from Thomas Landings to Shady Oaks. Best of those reasons is the access road into Thomas Landings is practically impassable, even for lifted 4X4 trucks. There is no real ho...

digginfool - You did the right thing when you towed him in. You have a boat with high sides, loads of power and similar weight to the man who blew a head gasket and was puking anti-freeze. I came off the Ridge as ya'll were gathered at the base. I was very low on fuel. The broke down guys waved at a...
