Formulas In The ROUGH!
 

I thought it would be cool to see some pics of our beloved birds in some rough water. Anyone have any photos to post?

Here's a few shots of my old 311 running in 4-6's after a GLSCS race off Mentor, Oh. Spray off a big rig rouge wave soaked the photographer hanging out on the skids of the helo:

My 382 in some really big water at the '07 Chicago Poker Run:

Great shots RedDog! Both boats are beautiful! I wish I had some Helo pics of my old 311. I've been in rough water with my old 311 and the 353 many times, but there's NOT always a Helicopter hovering overhead ready to shoot! Luckily there WAS one on the Buffalo Poker run two years ago and the photographer from torque photographic got the money shot for me...

First one Hudson river second coming out of Barnegat inlet on a poker run.

Excellent pics guys! That's what I was looking for, keep'em coming. Perfect Storm your graffics are one of my favorites.

Thanks, PS. Nice 353 you have, too! I was the Chief Physician for the Great Lakes Silver Cup Series for sevral years and ran the 311 as Pace and Med 1 for the organization as a volunteer, but they shot those shots for me at the end of one of the races as gratuity. Interesting that the very same photographer (Mike St Amand) was filming out of the blue chopper when the photos of the 382 were taken out of an overhead fixed wing at the Chicago Poker Run in '07.

Strangely I had a Boat Pix helo mysteriously appear out of nowhere at Put-In-Bay one day when I was taking a friend with pancreatic cancer for his first and only offshore ride. I was afraid I might hurt him but he insisted he go anyway. He kept the photo out in his workshop until he passed away. It's probably still hanging there ...

Great thread, Buffalo Poker Run 2011

I'll try and work on some pics this week at Desert Storm. If we get as much wind as we did last year it might be possible.

MO FO...that's Badd A$$ there!!!:evilb:

This one always impresses me

One of the best I have seen is Vic airing out the Poker Run Special at the '06 Chicago Poker Run:

was this 2006 run?

That is a very significant and historical photo.

Anyone know about the 2001 382 Desert oasis for sale in phoenix

Air. Remember, the harder you run, the more you have to fix no matter what boat. Someone long ago said, a boat is not an anvil. :thankyouthankyou::thankyouthankyou::evilb:

Let me guess Nort... does that someone work as a "deck bonding" engineer at Formula??? :lolhit:

yes there was some busted up stuff that day

LOL.....no it was posted in an old Apache thread. :evilb:

Awesome pics!

Hey Nort,

Now this photo looks familiar! Nice "flat screen" ... I can still feel that wave/landing. Thanks for the ride and the hospitality at the '07 SCOPE Poker Run!

Still screen shot off the '07 Chicago Poker Run video:

After some of the previous pictures i am now convinced even on my hardest day I have never beat on my boat:angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038:

Damn I know I was doing it all wrong! I thought it was treat it like an anvil.... Oh well there is always next year.
