Havent seen him lately…tell me he hasnt gone back to work?? With the OI fresh and the hybrid hull chatter I thought sure we would receive some thought provoking takes on some the topics…..96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner
Hopefully next week. However, the lighted hand rails wait gets trumped waiting for upcoming VmaxSHO repower. I have one more potential PIV tricked/pimp item to add but cant comment yet. It it works out it will complete my boat. To be continued.
Your 2011 BCB!!!!! Dude, your P4 is gonna be Sick!!!! Good thing those Colors are Killer, you cant get sick of her in less than 12months though….Tom,why dont you have the Southco latches? Thats goofy, you should call BCB, I thought ALL 2010 P4s came with them?????
That is the not the latch on the Advantage Elite Owner Loyalty packages. Those are and were a great value in 2009-2010 and are only available to previous owners of a Bass Cat or a direct relative to make it easier to move up a few models, sacrificing some equipment to get a larger boat. The standard Puma is also available as a Loyalty in Advantage Elite equipment. BCB
Brannon, the Southco latches are nice but I am extremely happy with what I have. I may revisit the latches down the road. I want to get behind the wheel and go vroom vroom. I will have some testing to do with prop setups. Since I re-powered I got a free prop from Yamaha. Fury Plugs are ordered from my 25P Fury prop, I have a brand new Yamaha Vmax prop well see what shell do. Life is good. Hopefully the monsoon season will be over in Alabama in a couple of weeks. I am chompin on the bit for sure.
He is still around. I see him lurking on Facebook about daily.
Yep – I was surprised this morning that he wasnt joining in to the discussion. It was all right in his normal wheel house…
Yo, yo, yo….. JnP, thanks for query. Im lurking around. Ive been pedaling my arse off on stationary bike. I have dropped 20 plus lbs and getting leaner and meaner . Im biking 1.5 hours plus a day. I”m at a 20 year low and have to do it in evenings. Part of the cause of my mini stroke was lack of sleep. Let that be a lesson to anyone reading my post. I have tried so may things from prescription drugs to sleep aids and if I get 4 hours Im lucky. So Im peddling really hard, taking hot bath late in the day along with the sleep aid and Im now getting 6.5 yo 7.5 hours of sleep. Finally!!!!! Dont ask me why I cant sleep its sure isnt just about work. At lease I found a way to combat this issue. Side benefit Im loosing weight and my wife like. LOLJStew, man Ive been out a bit for sure. What did I miss. Now you have my interest and Im going to go poke around. LOLGary, tick, tock for you brother from Cairo to Mt. Home. Safe travels.
Glad you made it back and are doing better. You sure picked a hard area to work in.

Whaddup Tom! Puma Hybrid Demo After Action Report about 2-3 pages back is the thread I was referring to. Seems a project is underway to graft a Champ running surface under a Puma hull as an experiment to bring disenfranchised buyers in.
Ive found three great sleep aids if I need it which is rare as I can get to sleep. Sleep quality another matter but the PCP machine Im picking up Tuesday is supposed to help Sleep aids in order of preference: 1) If the wife is liking the weight lose, she might help with #1 choice! The 2nd is a vodka based drink early evening but just one or two. The 3rd Ill have to PM you on…. The 20 plus pound weight loss is very impressive and congrats to you. That is not easy at all. Hope all keeps going well, we are routing for you!
Gentlemen,I feel your pain on not sleeping well. I work a rotating shift and regularly work many nights in a row with only one day off then right back to day shift. Its not abnormal for me to get 3 or 4 hours of sleep for several days in a row lately. Im not complaining as Ive had several,opportunities to take a straight day job but I just love my days off during the week. Long story short, the best sleep aid you can possibly get is a good hard exhausting physical workout!! If you dont exercise and you are having trouble sleeping I can almost guarantee if you begin a regular exercise routine your sleep patterns will improve. I Learned that the hard way over the last 2 years. For the first time in my life I stopped exercising due to a broken forearm, 2 severely sprained ankles, and knee pain. I gained 20 pounds and my sleep has suffered along with my stamina while fishing. I am trying to right the ship as we speak but its tough. I started a little exercise again and I actually slept 8 hours 2 nights in a row this weekend. The other thing that helps me is prayer! Something about getting right with the man upstairs that puts my mind at ease and lets me rest without worry! Im no preacher but its important to be at peace with yourself and prayer helps me do that. Im saying this to you to help remind myself that I need to get better in this area.Chris CoupelPaulina, LaChris CoupelPaulina, La.
