I might need a ride if I can't fix/get a new lower unit in time. Found a crack in mine today.

Not an issue Dave!!!! One of us in our, inferior to your Seavette, old clunker SeaCrafts with Terry's navigation prowess will pick you up!! I'm coming down Friday morning to Elrod's in Placida, we can work something out from there.

I'll be on the same route on Friday pm.

Does anyone have one of those bag toss sets they could bring to the gathering. Mel has had me on a hunt for a set but she is too picky about what is on them and I don't have time to order any.

Awesome, thanks you guys. Don you crack me up. I'm the one with the clunker as evidenced by the huge crack in the lower unit lol.

I think I may have found a replacement drive (thanks Rusty!) so hopefully I can get it going. I'll know more by the end of this week. Fingers crossed.

Donny, It aint "Elrod's" - it's "Eldred's". The are an old Commercial Fishing family from Placida and they don't cotton to no dag gone Costa del Mar, mauve colored Colombia, Sperry Topsider wear'in pseudo-fisherman. They know real fisherman wear shreadded ball caps, white boots and tee shirts what got some 5200 finger prints and bottom paint splattered on 'em.
So ease in there and sprinkle a dollop of "yes sirs" and "thank you ma'am's" around and you'll get more milage than act'in like you are from New Jersey!
(Just kidd'in Pelican)
You'll do fine - just tell 'em yur from that little fishing village, up the road a bit, that's sam-witched between Cockroach Bay and Bull Frog Creek!
If you need to, follow Conner's lead. He told 'em his mother's maiden name was Eldred and he was their long lost cousin from LA (Lower Alabama). That guy is smooth.

Hey!!!....I knew it started with an "E"!! They are NOT the friendliest folks in the world, however at "$6 per calendar day" you can't beat it to launch/park your boat, truck and trailer. Bad but true story, me and my buddy launched out of there many, many years ago and we were about an hour into fishing and I don't know why but I asked him if he remembered to put the ramp fee receipt on the dash. He said "hell no I did not even pay the fee", long story short I had to loan him $200 to get his truck and trailer back from impound!!! Dumb ass! Eldred's had the thing towed, they do not mess around!!
