airboaters around jax, fl

[scottyroll]

Mike every hull starts lookin' bad when all the pretty stuff wears off right?! lol. Heck I should have kept that pic of my hull before it was redone down in Bartow; It was a blue sheet box from 1992 beat black and blue. Now its a clean, green and mean lil river snake. Thanks for the compliments yall.

Hey everyone. Don't have an airboat yet, but going to be fixing that problem in the next few weeks. Just wanted to check in to see if any of y'all are still up in this area. And if there are any good places to ride? I live in the jax beach area, but don't mind traveling a bit to get to some good spots. I'm mainly getting a boat for running out to our camp in the glades, but want to be able to have some fun up here when i can't make the trip down south.

[scottyroll]

I still live @ the intersection of southside and JTB.

I keep my boat in Central florida now but would be glad answer any of your questions about riding around jax. Just shoot me a PM

[ffjpowell]

[digginfool]

Hey Jason. Kicking around some ideas about going up to visit my friend from the Withlacootchee area to ride with him again (the big guy on the ac boat that was riding with me ). You ever ride over there?

[ffjpowell]

Diggin, I have not BUT were always looking for another excuse to ride a new area. Let me know when u plan on heading up and give me a lil notice so Christi and I can take off work and make a weekend out of it.

[:)]

I never give up. Had a lot go on last year and just didn't have time to ride. Just putting new gearbox on the boat, maybe this afternoon. Got me one of dem purty ox boxes! gonna try to do a shake down run this weekend, I'm on call the next weekend but that next one I'll be ready. Let's plan a trip for that weekend. 14th

Diggin, dixiedog60 may be able to tell u about the withalacoochie area

[digginfool]

I have a friend that lives there. Jason met him at the Freedom Ride and thought he might like to come down when I head up for a visit. Thanks, though.

[Rich863]

[ffjpowell]

Rich863- no worries bro. My bad as well. Didn't get there till 4 on Friday so just got to hotel and chilled. Way to dang cold to ride on Friday. How the prop test go. What u decide on. Let's try to get together soon and ride. The 15th works for me. Don't know to many areas up here but can travel. Lol
Diggin - let me know when Ur planning on going and where Ur gonna stay and we will b there.

[digginfool]

Will do. Nick would like to get together the last weekend in March but not looking good for us. My son is on a school trip and gets home on the 29th. Plus, don't know what the wife's schedule is yet. If we can work it out, does that work for you?

[Rich863]

It went good I went with the cypress I just really couldn't make up my mind...I'm looking for a medium hub of you know anyone selling one I'm in the market

[ffjpowell]

Diggin - yes the will work I am on duty that day but look at taking off, if it don't work out I can cancel my leave request.

Rich863 - sounds good. We'll have to get together and ride soon when it warms up a bit. Will keep an eye out.

[tcslawnandland]

My 0540 wont prime back up aftrr it ran out of gas . Any ideas

[ffjpowell]

FI or Carb? Did u try to disconnect from the carb and fill the line that way? Or disconnect from carb and see if Ur fuel pump will prime up. Any way air could be getting in the line? Where u located in Jax.

WOOO! Finally picking up the boat this weekend down in naples, then running out to the camp in 2a for the weekend. Hopefully will have the boat back in jax on monday!

[ffjpowell]

Hell yeah. 2a is great riding with great people. Wish I was going with you. Lol. Let's all get a ride together up here when we can all get together.

u ever get Ur shack down ride? How'd it go?

[Hendog458]

Whoops meant 3A.

Picked the boat up late friday night, made the ride out to camp fine. Woke up early saturday morning to really give it a good run.

Boat runs great! It aint a showboat, but don't care. Had a blast sliding around. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. Going to do some more riding tomorrow, then pack up and trailer it all the way back to Jax.

We all need to plan a get together and do some riding soon.

[:)]

Haven't had a chance too. I have recert classes both days this weekend. And sounds like I gotta work next weekend. I may get to ride this year! Lol

[Hendog458]

Anyone know of any good freshwater places to run around Jax? Getting the itch to take the sled out for a ride tomorrow.

Yeah there's a few ponds in the town center that you could slip into. Totally illegal but at least it's not saltwater

We usually head to central Florida to ride. That's why I just keep my boat back home in ocala.
