Great event as usual.

It was really nice having some South side representation by Mike and Brian!!

Great talking with you guys and having a few drinks.

Thanks to the NIOC, Rick and Shogren for a great time.

We had a great time as well. North Point is a beautiful facility, and I only wish Racine and Milwaukee were closer...waaaaaay more better than Chicago for boating!

Lee Hogan sent me this photos. I am sure if you contact him he has more and will sell them. I counted about 80 boats at the two stops. About 50 went to Milwaukee and 30 to Racine.

SOLD, WHAT NEXT?
Great pics guys, nice looking boats as I would expect nothing less from Scott at Shogren Marine. Were hoping to try to make it up with a couple of the Chicago boys and bring up my little guys but couldn't work it out. Curious with all the big guns up there, who came out in the lead for the "fun run title", was Brad able to hold them off???? Congrats on a great day to play!!!!!

Is is not a race after all. If being the first boat to Milwaukee counts, then yes the MTI was first. Dan's race Fountain was tight on our heels. He and Wyatt Fountain were running the snot out of that hot looking boat. Amazing how well that boat runs with 525's and Sixes. The Shogren 42 Fountain with 700's was right there as well. I do not want to scare my wife so I do try to make her comfortable with the speed. You may not believe this but she was so comfortable she actually was falling asleep at one point in the run. Mission accomplished.
