Default Anybody willing to give me a ride? (Chicago) Gearhead thinking of go fast boat

Well here is the story. Getting into a powerboat is on the bucket list. Flat out I'm a gearhead. I've had fast cars, built a few engines, and basically just an adrenaline junky. I bought a boat a few years back, just an 18' ft ski boat to see if I liked being on the water. Liked it but realized hey I wanna go fast! Sold the boat a couple years ago and casually drool over powerboats. I don't have any friends with a powerboat because A they dont have the resources, B they dont have the desire. I'd like to get on the water and see if its the adrenaline rush I'd like. I realize the costs associated with going fast and it's a money pit. I'm more interested in the experience. Here are a few pics of the current go fast ride and yes its a replica and yes I built it engine and all. This should show you I'm not looking for a free ride, really am interested. (well yes Im looking for a free ride LOL). Any way, if there are some events coming up and you have an open seat I'd love the experience. Respond to the thread, or shoot me an email.

I'd be willing to entertain this idea if only to TRADE rides. I want a Cobra replica BADLY...there will be one in my future. Oh yes, it will be mine.

Where are you at?

Hey Bud-

Looks like we are relatively close neighbors. I live just across the border in northwest indiana. My wife is from New Lenox. Take you for a cruise any day.
