So Cal Speed and Marine

[havasu5150]

Did they move? drove by today and their facility looked oddly quiet. No boats outside that I could see.

 

[Jefftowz]

Yes. They moved across the highway to a bigger facility

1505 Countryshire
Unit A
Lake havasu

 

[FlyByWire]

Yes. They’re in Connolly’s building.

 

[RVRKID]

Yes. They’re in Connolly’s building.

So this picture popped up on my phone today and thought I would share with @FlyByWire , not the best since phone cameras weren’t that good, but from October 2015 we were at the Nautical and Mike was driving by or just left us can't remember now, HAHA.

It’s like seeing your wife when she was with another guy before you.

 

[JFMFG]

Yes they moved to a bigger and better facility.

 

[Bigbore500r]

[FlyByWire]

Ahhh yeah. The cuck chair.

I hope she (the boat) knows that while I may not have as much money as the last guy, I still appreciate how she lets me and my friends do whatever we want to her.

 

[attitude]

 

[FlyByWire]

I also wonder if she looks over in the channel when we pass her ex and gets jealous that he upgraded to a new bitch with a bigger set of twins.

 

[Rayson1971]

I wonder if she likes how you drive her on the trailer vs. The previous owner. How many times you have to slide her on and off.

I’m a one-shot kind of guy.

Sometimes I have to put a little power behind my entry if she isn’t set up just the right way.

She’s an expensive ass hoe though.

 

[Rayson1971]

Keep her belly full she'll keep you happy.

Jeeeesus.

The previous owner ran 100LL, but I switched to 91 non ethanol after they stopped letting me go to the airport.

I don’t want to imagine having to run race gas.

 

[Tank]

Parker oil still sells 100 non ethanol. It’s 8.25 ish a gallon.

I’ll usually do 50/50 91 and 100 or 110. I just like the thought of the 100 burning cleaner and better for the motor. Plus. High octane sitting between uses shouldn’t pose too much of a problem. I didn’t realize I was almost empty though when I filled up for DS 110 gallons a side. Then on the water after a couple days I put another 25 gal a side in just to be safe. So, actually 270 gallons. it was an expensive weekend.

 

[FlyByWire]

Funny you say that. I wanted to see how accurate my gauge is.. 2 40 gallon tanks and I put 42.6 in the right, and the balance in the left, with a little room to spare.

Oops… guess I know where E “REALLY” is on my gauge.

I don’t know why they won’t let you fill up at the airport? Parker literally advertises it?

 

[RiverDave]

On the so cal speed and marine side they bought Connolly marine so they are offering v drive parts etc now!

I was supposed to go there on Monday to talk to Mario but I got sick as shit this week and now in phx for Stacy’s surgery deal.. be over on upcoming Monday

I am sure that would be in your favor. Those less fortunate gals like to work harder to satisfy their man.

And generally fuel is really only ~10% of boating expenses

That’s a different level of big dickin right there.

I can’t go by my fuel gauge it’s completely wrong I think because how bow high the boat sits at idle. Also on plane it isn’t very reliable either. I have to go to my fuel used screen on the dash to look and see what each motor has burned since I re set it each fill up.

What was this thread about again?

Yeah see I lost my baller screen when I went from the luxury toon to this pile of shit

ALTHOUGH!! It does have the vessel view Bluetooth app thingy that’ll show me fuel used (I think) .. I need to play with it more.

I think there’s a rule that once the original question gets answered, all bets are off and it becomes a free for all / general shit posting / shit show. But we’d have to ask the boss man about the rules.

So cal speed and marine is a class act is what it’s about. Then we took a hard right turn like always. I was starstruck. When I found out tank spends 2500$ a day in fuel lol

Do you change tunes with the octane changes?

 

[n2otoofast4u]

LOL…… you know it would run on 87…… This is just to make sure no major efforts stop next weekends fun.

Not a day. That’s was for the weekend.

Do you change tunes with the octane changes?

No. Not at all. Matter of fact it’ll run on straight 91 I’ve been told. No problem. But I like to mix it and just like the safety of the higher octane.

I usually run 100 not 110 in it. And like I said second day I put lower grade in it on the water. But all in all. It was an expensive fuel weekend for sure. Didn’t help we were hot roddin around from pirates to 3-dunes

Its not saving anything, actually not better for it as people would think. But it does smell great 91/100 mix no problem but straight 110 not real good for it. JMO but I'll go be poor somewhere else

According to Parker Oil, they don't (not at the pump at least). They have Sunoco SS 100 at the pump, which according to Sunoco, has about 10% ethanol.

@Tank, here, if your gonna use my Sundance Mobil Race Gas pump pic you can use the Parker Oil AvGas pic too
Ooooops I mean 100 octane Unleaded Fuel

Not a call out post

I can get away with 91 Octane if it's a true 91, but I just love the smell of the AV or RaceGas and blend it to get a little extra protection especially if I have older gas in the tanks.

I know it all has different cost and benefits.

I will normally mix it 50/50 with 91 and actually did mix 100, a bit 110 and some 91 I like the higher octane there to potentially reduce the chance of pre detonation and to stabilize the fuel a little better between runs.

And FUCK YEAH it smells amazing!!

lol. Not your pic brother. that pic was actually from last year out there though.

But I was over at Parker oil as well. It’s my preferred fueling spot. I’m getting to know the attendant quite well over desert storm and super cat. And it’s not that 100LL anymore. They now carry 100 non ethanol unleaded or some shit? Supposidly good shit. It worked well for us this trip.

Yes sir.....Parker Oil is a lot easier in/out and has slightly longer hoses too

Nothing solid. Going to
Try and get out there in June before it gets too hot for us to go in July and Aug.

We’ll see. In the meantime, boats detailed and waxed and tucked away.

You guys headed back out?

 

[Fastdadtsmith]

I bought 100LL in Parker, 6.35 a gallon with taxes and credit card fees. Easy peezy.

May go to pend orielle and check on our land and hang out. Undecided yet but havasu will be too hot for us by then. Where’s your wife’s grandparents place?

Ya man it’s a different life up there. I love it for the short time every year I get to go. Her grandpa has a wakeboard boat and a 21 Daytona that @JLG614 and @goshen82 just had re done for him. Let me know if your dates up there cross with mine.
