I just wanted to say thanks to larry and mark @ rpm racing for the terrific time we had last weekend. We launched from bullhead city around 830 or 900 am and started our trek down the river. There were 16 of us all on our own skis. I think the count was, 2-stxrs 1-sc4tech,1- polaris, 1-limited xlt1200, 1- stock xlt 1200,1- seadoo xp(not stock) 1-older xp 1-kawasaki 4 stroke, 3-stage 2 gprs, 1-stock gpr, and 1- 98 xl1200 cant think of the other 2 boats that were there but it was quite a sight see all those skis bookin down the river. I believe this was a first for h204u(steve dixon) but he did great and so did his son. Steve wish we would have had more time to hang out and talk but the schedule was tight and saturday night was my 17th wedding anniversary. So I know you understand. Everything went great with the trip until larry from rpm racing got tired and couldnt keep up with us, So I had to tow him and his stxr back to laughlin. At one point I think larry stopped breathing so I had to adminster cpr(my only regret about doing this is the fact that larry obviously had an onion packed omellete @ the avi and he really needed a breath mint).Larry in the future you really need to get into shape for this type of ride. Try working out less @ the table and more @ the gym. Thanks a million mark and larry YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

Joe, I think someone owe,s me a lot of lunches for not whipping your behind, but after passing you at Havasu you must have gotten heat stroke,only 120 degree,s, I think that was a carp you were towing, after all that was all you could keep up with . Not being able to ride with Moses, shame, shame! Had fun anyway, hope can make the races and thank your wife for letting you come and play on the river. Old Man Moses

Hey joe are you so sore that you can't even type to respond to larry,s reply.have you heard from steve h2o4u i hope he,s motoring around okay.the poor guy took a beating.coudn;t stand while riding cause the extra oil he was carrying exploded in the front tub and got in the footwells.MARK RPM RACING

Hi guys, Larry the only carp I was towing was an stxr that had ran out of fuel and I was kind enough to tow them back to their house.(wonder if their motor mount was cracked )If I hadnt have stopped for lunch and a massage I would have beat larry back to the dock, But I didnt want to get on moses bad side(I am catholic) Funny thing is I didnt see moses walking on water or should I say skipping across the water @ 70 mph All I saw was that stxr of moses behind me when we left the avi. I figured I let him slide on bye on the way back. Funny thing is I think I lost my wife on the river some where cause she is no where to be found . I havnt spoken with steve yet I think he may be so sore that he cant dial a phone. Mark as far as you snugging that impeller on that pump did you have 2 gorrillas sit on your pry bar and snug it down? I broke my vice trying to remove the prop. Yes I know its reverse threads I might have to get out the cutting torch and cut that shaft in half to remove it.

Comon larry you need to type with more than 2 fingers!!!!

mark, I heated the hub of the solas up and the d@mn thing still wont budge. I will bring the entire pump with me to havasu.I used a cheater bar and I had my fat @ss standing on it and still no budge. Im frustrated and its hot and humid and larry still is a slow typer. Where is moses anyway? He always answers the phone. He must have been typing his reply to my post and was to busy finding the h key on the key board. All BS aside I have removed quite a few impellers and this one really wont give in. I dont want to risk bending the shaft or breaking the stator so Ill just bring it back to you. See you guys in havasu take care

well i guess that will tell you how much power our boats are putting out ha ha ha.really i just snugged it up eat your wheaties.mark rpm racing

after reading your above post mark alex and I went out to give it one last try. I used heat and alex and still wouldnt budge. you must be on steroids mark or am I really that big of a wimp?
