Nautilus Topic Author Offline Contributing Member Posts: 1575 Karma: 87 Thank you received: 58	Finally re-launched the boat only to find that the fuel pump had quit. My wife snapped this photo as I was leading it back onto the trailer. ...At least it floats well! Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

This is the Ski Dart you restored, correct? It sure looks great in the water and I still can't believe the insanely low price you paid for that boat before you restored her. BTW, I was showing your yacht website to my wife's uncle who has been on Keowee for years. Of course he knows you and said he once raced you in your yacht and he lost!

I once dumped the throttles outside the Keowee marina next to a guy with a good-sized cabin cruiser. Matriarch will only do 20 kts wide open but those 903's did sound intimidating, I guess.
