Headed to OKC tomorrow if all goes well with #2 on the dyno today. Ran #1 yesterday with good results. We'll start installing Friday and hope the tailpipes get finished in time for LOTO.

Who would’a Thunk? Top gun F2 boat cover fits like a glove on a cafe! :D

i just didn’t tuck the bow over the tow eye so it’s a bit wrinkly in the front. Otherwise. Perfect fit, like it was made for it.

thanks brotha. We’re getting some hours on her. I’m
actually enjoying doing the little stuff that it needs. It’s been a great boat so far. My 10y/o already knows how to start her up get the drives in gear and run it up slow (to ease those bravos on plane). He can run it 55-60 no sweat, navigate traffic, etc. my 5 y/o can steer at idle like a champ. Wife and I were having drinks while he was cruising out of the narrows at lake today. Lol

That F2 cover will make it faster.........:champs:.......congrats on the new ride, we missed ya @ LOTO

I'm sure nearly everyone on here can recall the first time they saw and heard an offshore powerboat the first time and the immediate affect it had on them. Exposure to these boats is rare for small ones and can last a lifetime. If figure if my boats can turn out like the Burk boys after exposing them to these boats like Steve did, then they'll be juuuuuuuuuuust fine. ;) It worked for our 25 y/o daughter. She loves fast boats so much she got engaged to a performance boat shop owner! LOL

Prudent decisions. Congratulations.

Really cool pic. Tank, let's shoot for a meet up this fall when I'm out there. Sept/Oct.

Do you have a motorcycle?

Have had a bunch of Harleys over the years. Again, little ones - the wife was like, "sell your bike please, I don't want to raise these kids alone". So, I sold my Street Glide a few years back. Haven't bought another bike. Don't really have the jones for it right now either. May build up a chopper to cruise around again but don't know.

And yes, hopefully this fall we can make it work out. You can always crash at our little beach hut if you need to.

thisistank 06-25-2019 12:14 PM

Had a great weekend running around one of the local lakes. Boys had an absolute blast! Even towed them on a tube behind the Café. It worked but needs some fine tuning to get it right (longer line) lol. Both boys love driving the boat. Absolutely great weekend.
