Air time
The Fountain performed well. Only 23 boats out of 77 made the first run to Mich City. DT42 was 8th. Roughest water I've been in with small craft warnings and 6-8's.
When BobZ and me were side by side for most of the way, his boat would disappear in the waves every 10-15 seconds. I am telling the truth, no BS.
OL 47 was first to the stop. They did have an awesome display and were a pleasure to talk with.
I learned alot this weekend and gained more confidence in running hard in tough water.
The CPC crew was great, I cannot say enough about the logistics that were in order. Nice folks from all over the country, Rio ROses crew is first class.
Shogren had alot of boats and enjoyed seeing everyone from my favorite dealer.

Pic #1 Nice shot, good looking boat.
Pic #2 Lots of water flying there.
Pic #3 Priceless!!! Now that is wall poster material!!! And they try to convince us these beak boats can't run in the big stuff. I see you are making use of it already.
