Ron (the original owner who commissioned the boat) kept it up like it was new, always. James (Safa1) bought it and ran it at Lake Havasu mostly and kept it in great shape too. I don't know the new owner, only know he ran it on LOTO. From the pics it does seem to have lost some of its "luster", but still a sick ride!

Our little tug boat isn't anything compared to these machines, but we love it and it works great for us. Not the fastest out there but it handles well the big water the Pacific Ocean wips up. Merc 525SC's and SSM 3A's. Bought it from Phil who took it in on trade from the original owner who rarely used it.

Powerboat Mag did a few articles on some install stuff on it (the vinyl wrap, the stereo, the swim step, the gauges/throttles/steering wheel upgrades). and like I said, things go well, another little article on some other stuff will be in there soon.

Default Lucky Strike with Attitude

Attitude is everything when you want to go fast in the rough.

Thanks Steve...When you get them layed up just right, they run like raped apes!

However, I decided to "loosen it up a bit" to catch some air for the helicopter and this was the result!

Agreed....Speaking of your old boat, I haven't seen it since the poker run the year Steve drove it. It's been MIA!

Someday Rob, when you actually put your boat in the water again maybe we can get up to the 'ol sand bar and I can show you how we roll!
