New trailer this year, we love camping and cottaging so this year we are going to try and do both.

Cottage Reno's almost done, maybe this year we can relax a bit.

Thanks Evil, yes it is going to be hard. We love the cottage but really miss camping, I am guessing this summer there will be more camping than cottaging. Plus there is not enough room in the trailer for all the company that typically is at the cottage... ;-)

I have been very busy lately. Income Taxes, Work, Sled repairs, summerizing, painting the house and here is one of the good reasons. The Summer toy is finally on its final leg of the adventure. Going to pick it up tomorrow :)

And it has landed in Lake Ontario.... Yesterday of all days with 4-8 foot waves, rain, cold and 35 km/h winds..... :banghead:

Traveled from the Burlington Skyway to Bronte. Needless to say I was the only boat on the water yesterday. Took us 1.5 hours to do the 20 minute cruise.

After all the work that you and I and 800 and Easy went to helping him sell the last boat I expect that he will lend it to us for a few days. When is good for you guyz? LemmeeNO and I'll call the Bada Bing to line up the 'hostesses'. icon_e_wink.gif

Some lovely examples of summer vehicles, folks.

Enjoy Lake Ontario, Domino.

Years ago, we had a Doral on the Lake. Fifty Points Marina was a favourite destination. Avoid the military gun range immediately to the south (they train by shooting out, over the water - the grid on the map warns you about the firing range - high towers warn you at night).

Anyhow, great looking summer toys.

Hmmm, shopping list for some serious Monkey power :)

New aluminum cylinder heads, .600" lift cam and roller lifters, intake manifold, 850 carb and a set of stainless headers and voila, 500 plus Monkey ( horse ) Power. That would get ya across the lake to the bars in Port Dalhousie or back from an illegal smoke and booze run to Wilson NY real quick :)

Oh, and some mufflers to keep ya legal ;)

Hey Sean,

I was always told the 7.4 was a lost cause because of the bottom end. I was always told that it wasnt stout enough for anymore than what it was rated at.

Anything I've ever read on the 7.4 always concludes with something like "Don't touch it ! ".

Not the standard 7.4 but the mag unit is, sort of.
