A. I need to go on vacation with Tank - he knows what he's doing!
B. Where do we get cool Barrett Marine swag? Ya know, to advertise for him out here in the MidWest / EastCoast???

C. Post more pics!!!

I can get you some swag bro! They’re making some new stuff too.

haven’t boated again since we got here so not many more pics. But went and watched the dirtbags past two nights. Ate at Alonzo’s last night. Rented my kid a scooter today for his birthday. 😁

good trip.

Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Can't wait to get back there in November!

Where is the card players at the table at?
One of those supposed to be Hemingway?

I don’t think so. But the sculpture was awesome and every time I walked by I thought it was real for half a second. It was at the reach hotel south end of the island where we stayed.

Finally got home after nightmare travel 24 hours. But home again. Now im looking forward to getting the honey do list done on RWD and getting out there to run! 😁👍

Can you adopt me? I just want to hang out on your adventures.

To the Yard House!

Hahaha. No more dependents!! lol

definitely have to do a yardhouse lunch run for sure. Although seems since steele franchises out, all the guest slips in front went away. Good ol days of 25 bad azz offshore boats lined up was epic!

Got a great gift package from Ed and the crew at big thunder.

thanks Ed!!! I’ll drink coffee from those mugs with a smile. I do in think ill
get to enjoy the cookies with my wife and kids around. lol.

You know, I noticed that. Come to think of it there's a boat rental of some sort in those slips now.
I wish CA was as user friendly as FL!

Congrats on the badass purchase Tank!!

thanks. If you ever get up the nerve to get your boat wet after it comes out better than new from
your restore and if I ever get my ish together to drag ours to loto, be good to run em together. 😁👍

Nothing like a new to you boat, especially a Top Gun. Congratulations!

:bsflag:lol

Get it wet??? Yeaaaaa, ok. :lolhit:

That’s sweet man congrats !!!!

how’s the boat coming along? Be done for this summer??

Thanks for the kind words brother! Hopefully I'll be adding some new content here soon. Havasu is booked for Super Cat Fest West late April. Got a dock for the show and dock party. Should be a great run. Trying to get out to see the boat prior but don't know if its going to happen. May go to the River pad (that I've posted numerous pics from in this thread) in early April, hopefully the boat isn't getting work done and will be available to run if we get out there at that time. Either way, I'll post updates. :drink:

Tank what are you having done, it looks great in the pictures.I know you had some trailer work done.

First two things I want addressed asap is install seadeck. Thinking I'm going to do triple layer Grey top, white center and red bottom. I was actually going through this whole thread recently and I like how Steve did it in their gladiator he posted in this thread on page like 35ish. Diamond pattern. Would like to do Cig oval at the back seat floor like we did on the Cafe and "top gun" script in the cabin. Little Cig ovals at the foot rests. Also, AJ is supposed to be meeting with Adrenaline Trailers owner to schedule getting the trailer spruced up. Rob, buddy that towed it out had a local trailer shop in LOTO install disk brakes, yanking the old drums out and put on a new EOH control unit. replaced all hubs, etc. so that's all done but I'd like to have it torn down, painted, new bunks, all new LEDs with LED's added on the frame rails and under the boat, add a storage box and fabricate a new bow stop like they did on the Cafe, except I want the steps to not be as vertical as they were on the cafe, more offset for ease. I want to put Matching Seadeck on top of the fenders with Cigarette script and a seadeck pad on top of the storage box with "Running With The Devil" in the proper font.

Those are the two first tings I'm focused on. I don't know if it'll get done before april though frankly. but hopefully. We'll see. After that it's small stuff. Swap the GPS out for a glass flush unit. Add underwater lights, a depth finder, new head unit that's blue tooth capable, whatever else I find. Oh, and AJ will go through and do a full service top to bottom. And it's getting fully detailed including engines polished. Get it all dialed in. lol
