I showed the transom ripped out earlier in the post. Basically rebuilt to new now, almost identical to a Magnum. Picture from Mercury catalog. Just got power and steering straightened out, a 150 with hydraulic steering. Looks like the boat will make it. Love that black/grey Magnum, saw it headed for the back bay in Wolfeboro, very nice indeed. Working on a gathering at Opechee mid August on a Saturday. Pros - calm lake, world water ski championships were held there, good launch, park and anchor/beaching potential. Cons - Can't "let 'em rip" or actually have a race demo which might be possible on Winnisquam (Winnisquam Laconia would have to close Bartlett Beach for the day which is not generally done). Weirs Bay is too rough for these small boats on any given Saturday after about 10 am.
No idea how many boats might come (I'll bring 2) so maybe for a first event it's best to think small. Would love to see any boats that were in the ski races and anyone who participated in them. Would appreciate any feedback and suggestions on the best place to stage this event, it's time to make concrete plans. Thanks. MM
