Thumbs up

When we are drag racing we wear helmets and Lif Line jackets.I always wear my jacket when playing on the lakes and rivers but rarely do I wear my helmet when under 100 mph.

My freind Ricky in that pic with the blue boat never wears any gear.I hate it but you cant make him if he doesnt want to.

Hear is a link to the speed runs I organized last year at the Suawannee river in north west Florida.Its a clip that my buddy who owns a production company is trying to scout to the networks for a television show.It features Hank Hogan going over at 135 mph.Its a 350 hp merc with a 200 shot of nitrous.Very eye opeing to say the least.We were trying to see who the top dog in the country was with these lake and river race boats with a single outboard motor.The day after the crash Michael Dixon from Georgis ran 143.2 mph.Very fast considering the power that they use.Enjoy

Great trailer "its an obsession coupled with a sickness" how good is that line

You guys run way too loose for me, at 160+ every run, if both my front sponsons are off the water, you can count on disaster.

That old boy was just flat out lucky... Gotta love it blew off his shoe

The other thing is the boat wakes, I see other boats moving and that Curtis Hydro I ran had zero tolerance for boat wake.

Yep, I really like it. Has 2 beds, kitchen and bathroom. We camp as much as we can during the summer. We have some nice shallow areas where we tie off a bunch of boats. Waist high deep water and you can walk around and visit the other boaters. One spot we go in the summer, there are usually a 100 or so boats. Good times!

Two best day in any boat owners life:
Day you buy your boat
Day you sell your boat

OR

A hole in the water for which to pour all your money
