I had a date last night that went pretty awesome honestly now I'm just kind of ****ed up and doing everything necessary to not wake up hungover tomorrow. I'm chugging water like a MF right now. On weekends my sleeping schedule gets so ****ed up lol, but I adjust quickly....
Fog cleared up midway down the shore. Now sunny & getting warm here in ocean city, NJ. Feels like a summer day. Uncrowded here.. easy to get parking... no idea why more people don't come to the shore in September... no lifeguards perhaps. Nice to have relatives with a house here too.
Location: Murray River, Riverland, South Australia

Fitting the new engines as the current ones are showing their age. They are a pair of Yamaha 9.9's high thrusts, they push this 13 tonne boat quite well, I clocked in at 7km/h. However, we were on a trip to the pump-out station when one of the motors died, so were left with one. That is when I decided it's best to get new engines. Still got between 5-5.5km/h on the single motor. For anyone asking, houseboats here are big and heavy pontoon boats, they are displacement hulls, not designed to get on the plane. Mine is a 13 tonne pontoon boat.
Will be replacing the engines with a pair of Yamaha 25 high thrusts, looking forward to it, brand new engines and a 150% increase in power
My parents boat was taken out by the current owners to be slipped today, it's a smaller boat, but not much smaller, it has a 30hp Mercury onboard and I have to say it is quite possibly the fastest houseboat on the river

How many houseboats are there along the river?
Stacks and stacks. High thrust motors are designed to push heavy vessels like houseboats. For example, the Yamaha 25 high thrusts which I purchased has 60% more thrust in forward and 70% more reverse thrust than a standard 25 outboard
Today on my houseboat: I had to go and take a crap this afternoon in town because my toilet is blocked for some ****en reason, but some mongoloid coated the bowl in diahhrea and there was no toilet paper. For ****s sake. I was left with no choice but to pick up about 6 bottles of drain cleaner and ample booze to get me high, so far the drain cleaner is yet to work.
My morning **** went much better, clean dunny with ample toilet paper. Roll on tomorrow morning. Have to take a dump early before all the fully sick dickholes get a hold of the public crappers.
