Here's a few pics I took when we raced him a few weeks ago in Chicago.

Sorry Frankie..I transposed my letters! And to answer for him HotKnots, Frank was in Rick Dugo's 46 Cig when they "raced"...not that Frankie's boat couldn't run with him up to the triple digits...

LOL, no, hell no, but not that I would'nt try it. We were in a friends 46 Cig, like Mike said. It was blowin pretty hard out of the west, just before a big storm rolled in. Along the lakefront it was kinda calm, we went straight east, about 10 miles, and we had some 4-5 rollers out there. We ran to about a buck ten thinkin the cat could'nt run that bigger water, 
but he was right there at our side the whole time, then he pulled away. Sorry I did'nt get any pics of that, but I could'nt hold on with one hand any longer, stuffed the camera in my pocket, and did the "white knuckle death grip" on the grap rails just to stay in the boat. 
Austin said that he's run to about 130 ish, so that he gets the feel for the boat. I think he's finally getting used to it by now.
Another pic of Austin coming out of the harbor with Strip Poker at his side, then a couple of us heading out to play.

I really enjoyed Spring Lake; great time and all you who live there are lucky. boating is so much easier and "boater friendly" than it is in Chicago. Ano no, I'm not a gambler (poker player in vegas) or the CEO of Enron. Anyways hope to be back to Michigan soon. The boat is louder on board; i dont think it is a concern with the DNR or Sheriff because it does not make much noise from a distance.
