Let us know what you think of your new ride. We are having a Shootout at our local lake the weekend before memorial day if you interested. It is only a 3 hour drive from Laporte.

Thanks for the invite. I might have to shoot down there. How big of a Lake are you on? How did the boat run of the maiden voyage. It will be a couple weeks before I make it out, its has been real windy and the big pond is still very cold.

Clinton Lake is on a 9300 SQ recreation area with about 5800 SQ of usable boating space. The lake is fairly narrow, but about 10 miles long (shaped like a boomerang). Although the lake is small the boats are not. We hope to have these boats participate in this year's outing: 38 Powerquest Avenger 525SCs, 33 Baja Outlaw HP500s, 32 Sunsation Dominator 6.2s, 31 American Offshore 502SCs, 31-35 Awesome Cat unknown power, 30 Formula 302 SR-1 454s, 29 Powerquest Enicer 454s, 282 Rinker 6.2, and 259 Checkmate 454. The boat ran great in the maiden voyage, just needs a little more power. :D

Hey, don't forget the smallest boat in the fleet - 260 Chaparral 496 MAG! :drink: I'm sitting on the lift (barely) across from you now!

Sorry about that, and a 260 Chapparral w/ a 496MAG. Hey Jeff I talked to Jim yesterday sounds like you guys made a nice afternoon out of the lift installment. :drink: Here is a pick of a Formula heater, comes in handy while boating in April.

Is that a heater or is that where the head is at??!! :evilb:

Lift installment was entertaining to say the least. Pratt's looks good. Mine?? Well, just don't lean on the boat or the lift might go down! :eek:

Looking forward to this season on Dock 3. :drink:
