2007 scope run
Well all I can say is that the 36 ran better than it ever has. This was my first time running in the ocean on my boat. I had 3 in my crew plus me. I would say an easy total of 900lbs plus a full tank of fuel 235 gallons, 1600lbs and hit 70.2 on the GPS in rough water. Oh, and we were the only Baja out of I think 111 boats. It was sweet. I know they say poker runs are not races but we ran into a few different boats like some fountains, formulas, hallets, scarabs, shockwave, and ran real hard with a Pantara who was getting big air but as the water picked up we were walking on many. This will be an event I attend every year. I will try and post some pics. They took alot of helicopter footage for a video and I think there were 5 up in the air. I could go on and on about this event it was awsome. Great people, sweet boats, beautiful women and great food. It was a perfect weekend.

AWESOME!
The boat always runs better when you are having a really good time.
I cannot wait to see the pictures.
Thanks

Next year there will be a 29 Outlaw running too. We pooled our funds and ran one boat this year.
The Pantera ran hard and pulled us for a while but backed off. We passed the Outerlimits!

Thanks for the props on our run! I wish we had 235 gallons of fuel on board! Then we wouldn't have had to back off! The fuel gauge started jumping around and the boat started feeling a bit light... I backed down from 5,300 (flat) to 4,000 and we went into Newport for fuel. We put nearly 100 gallons in the boat (110/120 gallon tank)! We only got about 65 mph with the old motor...
Great running with you guys. That was a ton of fun! Hopefully we'll see you out in our ocean again soon!
You've got to put the video up on Youtube!
Later,
Sean
