35" Fountain Executioner on the Chicago River
 
I made this video last weekend at the Chicago Air and Water Show . I just thought you guys might get a kick out of it. It was filmed from a 1990 Fountain Fever 27 with twin 454's Video gets very cool at 1:56

Damn he hooks that turn hard!

Where did you guys put in? We were out at the show, launched out of East Chicago.

That was me in my 35. Wasn't as hard of a turn as it looks in video.
I was in burnham harbour for three days. Great show.

Looks like a fun place to run, is there a lot of debris?

OH YEAH. Especially after a good rain. I've seen 55 gallon drums, tires (one still on a rim!), and some huge trees in that river. Always have to keep a sharp eye out...the tug-and-barges are constantly kicking stuff up from the bottom as well.

I launched at Waukegan. I caught up with 32 vette at the show. We couldn't have asked for a nicer day on Lake Michigan. The lake was calm as could be, but there was tons-o debris on the river. No joke I some how was dragging the same branch twice and it never hit my prop... How does that happen? Certain areas are worst than others.
