Back home now finally. Here are some shots of the Vol Navy in action Saturday before the game. First one is Mrs. ZZ13, John (LoneRanger - facing camera) and some pals on John's 270 Sundancer.

Looks like a blast. Its probably just my jealousy showing up, but what with the newbie-style cleating on that line?
Creek wood,
These boats never sat in dock for more then 10 mins... the deck hands got tired of fighting lines towards the end of the day so this was easy on and easy off.
did you ride the Meridian ???The 510 is the only one we did not ride on.......but we rode all the others and had a blast. We took a ride in the 270SLX because the Driver looked lonely....we had a blast with him and the 8.2L running wide open!!!
THANK YOU SEA RAY. There is no doubt this company's customers are put first. This weekend was unbelievable. If a boat owner was unable to attend, look foward to next year and plan now. To all the company officers that said go ahead and do it, you made Mr. Ray's words live "...a sincere appreciation of our customers." To the employees that worked throughout the day making sure we as owners wanted for nothing, THANK YOU. I noticed as I spoke with each one and asked how long they had been with Sea Ray the least amount of time was 16 years and most answered 28 to 30 years. That is unheard of with todays business models. This Homecoming event makes me more proud to say I have a Sea Ray as if that were possible. Thank you Rusty for your devotion to your company, and there by to us the owners. Chris thanks for indulging my ideas about the 510, just goes to show you never know who you are talking to. Again THANKS to all involved.
did you ride the Meridian ???
I thought it's captain was going to kill himself.

Sorry...I know it's a Brunswick product but my 1978 is queiter and rides better than that new 341 sedan.
I think it looks like Sea Ray dropped the ball... I mean... where's the fireworks in the evening? Sheez!

Oh I forgot this story.
After the game, Ron, Angie and some other friends came back to the boat. Everyone sobering up or drowning their sorrows, when a guy tied up at the end of the dock comes by and asks to borrow a light. I first thought he wanted to light a cigarette but he needed navigation and anchor lights. His anchor light is in such a position that if you open the engine hatch with the anchor light up you bend the pole. He opened the hatch, bent the pole in two, and pulled the connectors out enough that they shorted and he blew a fuse.
He had no idea about the boat. Ron took a flashlight from my boat and found his fuse panel and he had blown a 25 amp blade fuse. Fortunately I had a replacement on board. We got his navigation lights back for him. Then we removed the socket for the stern light and striped the wires and wired it directly to the stern light and was able to secure it enough to allow him to safely get back home. When we removed the socket it was at least the second socket as there were two sets of holes drilled. Also it was held on with coarse dry wall screws. Sadly, I was not surprised.
This is one reason in a long list why I never leave a ball game to go home at night and usually not even during the day. I wait until the yahoos have gone and leave the next day.

Ya'll can keep the 510...I will gladly take a 470.... A little ride with soem fellow CSR'ers :grin: High speed turn at 38 Knots, burning 36 gal/hr, and maintained 26 Knots through the turn. FYI, if a captain says, " hang on".....DO it! I was thrown from my sea the first time....Hope I don't get anyone in trouble for posting this!
