New Year and No Points Lead
Hello Everyone, it's a new year and I hope everyone is ready for the 2009 Tournament since it is almost upon us. The January meeting is at Things and Wings on the 6th and the tourney at White Oak on the 10th. We had a great points race last year with 1st and 2nd 1.25lbs apart and 3rd and 4th a mere .16lb seperating the two. Hope we can make it as exciting next year.

Dothan Bass does well at Santee
Larry and Gill did great at the FLW Stren Tournament at Santee Cooper SC.
Larry Breckenridge led the coangler side the first 2 days, had a bad day on day 3 and came back on day 4 with a 15lb catch to secure 2nd place. He finished with 46-10 and won $3,251.
Gill Bristow was consistant everyday weighing fish and finished 8th with 30.11, winning $1,383.
I will bet they both learned some new techniques to use against us in the future.
Great going guys!

Dothan Bassmasters 2008 - Spring Two Day - Guntersville
The self proclaimed "Kings of the 2 Day" were dethroned!
Last year Chris announced after winning the second of our 2 day tournaments that he and Rex were the kings of the 2 day. Just poking a little fun.
These results are very preliminary and may be changed after computer verification. There were several math errors at the landing and all must be reviewed. We are pretty sure of the top 3 positions but the numbers may vary.
First Place team, Dick Whatley 20# Don Wright 13# Total 33#
Second place, Larry Breckenridge 14# Freddie Johnson 16# Total 30#
Third place, Rex Mathis ?? Chris Leatherwood ?? Total ??

Boat Maintenance Information
This information was sent to Leroy Turner by floridaoutboard.com. Hope it helps prevent problems. Pay special attention to the bottom part about ethanol.
When we rebuild: we put in new pistons, rings, wrist pins, wrist pin bearings, rod and main bearings, thermostat, overhaul the carburetors and a complete new engine gasket set. We do all the machine work, which includes all boring, honing, sleeving, and welding, up to a half dollar size. This comes with our FIVE YEAR WRITTEN WARRANTY. The warranty covers the short block only, not the electrical, carburetion or lower unit. We put in a new water impeller in your lower unit and check the oil. YOU DON'T PAY SALES TAX OUT OF STATE.
We can pickup your engine with our truck, crane, mechanic and rebuild it, test run it, and reinstall it back on your boat. We are 30 minutes North of Pensacola. We like our customers to come see our shop.....but, we will be happy to pickup your engine or return it to you, after you drop it off.......Please call and speak to Jim, Sr........... We bring you, a copy of our contract, five year written warranty, informative booklet, the shipping bill of laden, and the ethanol articles. If we can help you, in any way.....please don't hesitate, to call with any of your questions......... You can call our toll free 1-877-310-BOAT (2628). We answer our phones, 24 hours a day, for our internet customers. You will enjoy picking Big Jim's wisdom, of rebuilding, all makes of engines, for over 35 years.
We are the FIRST and original engine rebuilder. We have been in the marine business for 35 years. We have rebuilt over 12,000 engines.........We formerly sold our business in South Florida three years ago and moved up here.....
Ethanol gas is blowing engines up! No one is required to tell us, at the gas pumps, that ethanol is in the gas we are buying. If they put 9.8% ethanol, in the gas (below 10%), the public doesn't have to be informed. The next gas dealer can add another 9.8% and another 9.8%, when it is sold, again. Now, we have 29.6% ethanol, in the gas we are buying! Ethanol acts as a detergent agent. All the yearsof built up junk, in your fuel tank, comes off the sides of your fuel tank, from the ethanol. It acts like a degreaser inside your fuel tank. The particles and junk try to go through your carburetors, which become clogged. The reduced flow, leans out the gas supply and blows up your engine. Remove a sample of gas, out of your tank, shake it, and watch for foam and bubbles, to rise, to the top. The bubbles need to stay, on the top, to a count of ten. This would mean your ocatane is good gas. Look for a half inch of junk and water. This is the extra water, from the ethanol, which will lean out your carburetors and blow the engine. The brighter the yellow color sample, of your gas, means the stronger ethanol, in your tank.....which is melting plastic or fiberglass tanks......
Currently, we are getting late model engines blown, from ethanol. This type of repair is NOT covered by the dealer warranty or by engine rebuilders. This is why, they aren't concerned, to inform you about ethanol gas...... Imagine, spending $20,000 to $15,000, for a new engine and it blows up, from ethanol! Boat US and Marine Surveyers wrote articles concerning ethanol and these problems, back in October, 2006. The dealers are selling new engines like hot cakes, to replace the blown engines, and the public isn't being informed! Another article came out in July, 2007.
Up north, the gas stations must post signs with regard to ethanol content. Boat US recommends installing a 10 MICRON filter, to catch the particles and water from the ethanol. A MUST AND THEY SAY TO CHECK THE MICRON FILTERS EVERY BOATING TRIP! We send you a 10 Micron Filter Kit, for you to put on your fuel line. Thank you, for considering our company, to help you with your boating needs. Have a blessed day.
