So...accepted a bid to tow the boat to Heber Springs - have a SW flight up to Philly, rental car, and hotel the 4th. Meet Dave on the 5th, put the boat in the water and run it, load it back on the trailer. Mobile shrink wrap service there at 10am to wrap boat, driver meet me at noon, hook up and go. I go back to airport, catch a 5:10pm flight home and wait 36 hours for the boat to arrive. Unpack it, launch it and ski...WX permitting of course. whew!!! Been a busy morning! Thanks Dave for the assistance

Congratulations on the new boat Bret! A lot of fun to read this, you sound like a great owner for the boat! I have really enjoyed reading so many great stories here on tt!
1/4 tank of gas might be close. The boat has left the building - bittersweet as it drove off but Caleb really appreciates the boat, he was very complimentary of the condition; first time the backseat was in the boat since September of 94. The "check" is in the FedEx envelope in the morning Dave, logistics to follow
Right now, " I ain't got no boat"
Bret got to ski with Caleb yesterday behind the boat. Set a PB with [email protected] off. Boat ran great and I was shocked with the wake, read all about how great that year was for a wake, but still shocked.
I was going over the LT-1 cooling thread, saw where you did the update Dave and yes, those manifolds are newer ones, the old MC ones cracked when the block cracked. They were sent to Jet Hot in Pascagoula MS and that coating is Sterling 1200 - it will actually polish up slightly with brasso or other brass or silver polish.

Yes, this whole deal is coming together for everyone.
Tim and Bret have been great about all of this, I even gave Tim a lead on another Prostar 190 here in NJ that would fit his needs very well if he chooses. I know Bret has his heart set on owning this Limited that he already has a lot of knowledge about. It's kinda funny how it's going to end up back home again in Arkansas where it came from when I bought it.
I cannot justify keeping it any longer....as I only put 25 hours on it in the last 3 years.
I want it to be enjoyed by Bret who will no doubt treat it like the queen she is.
In the meanwhile I'll be taking my slalom runs behind my friend's sweet '05 197 but it won't be the same as my '93 prostar wake.
