She's finally home!! Rickk's 230

[JimCt]

The mechanics of how Classicaquasport.com works, and sometimes doesn't,  is a mystery...  

[John Jones]

How badly do you want to learn the internal workings?

Picking up the 230 tomorrow.  I had decided on painting the bottom as you might remember and after explaining what I wanted, the guy found a white hard ablative. I saw it Saturday and it looked pretty good - a little off color to the gelcoat but not ghastly like the paint that was on it.  The 6 carbs have been gone through too - so she should be ready to go. I have to put a new boot stripe on - pix to follow.

Moving right along!

Expect to see some "glamor shots" of her when she's back home.

I guess we need to get together sometimes so we can make some running shots on the water.  I don't have anyone to make pics but me.  The wife is lousy with a camera.

[RickK]

I'm a little old to be running in the water (at least that's what I tell myself) but if that's what you want... might be a little ugly



Oh, you mean showing the boats on plane - I'm game.

     (gotcha)

[John Jones]

I had to steal that smiley.

[JimCt]

Maybe try to get some video shots of your two boats underway?

[John Jones]

I have an old super8 but no digital video.  My camera will take movies but the quality isn't there.

[JimCt]

How 'bout that fancy new phone of yours?

[JimCt]

On this thread of Rick's I've noticed that the page count shows one more page than is actually there.  Anybody else see that?  Says there's sixteen pages but there's actually fifteen.

[John Jones]

I have the page count issue also.

I can take up to a 4 minute video with my phone but due to Verizon crippling the phone, there is no way of getting it off without hacking the phone software.  

[JimCt]

Ok, now we have sixteen pages.

The problem with transferring video from your phone begs the question why they even left the movie capability on the phone at all.  Only way to see the films is to watch them on the phone screen?

RickK, sorry for the extreme de-rail.

[John Jones]

Actually Verizon has a website you can send the pics or videos to, then download to your computer.  The 'gotcha' is that they force you to burn your minutes transferring them.  Quality is greatly reduced with that type of transfer also.

[RickK]

I've been seeing the extra page for about 3 pages now - thought it was just me.  Don't see that on any other long threads - so maybe this one is cursed.
