Lawn sculpture no more...
 

Today was the maiden voyage for my Tiger, her official name is "Bad Girl". While stopping and filling it up before we hit the water, we got to meet Spicy(Pat) Ted,(inspectech) and Velocity Mike were at pier 7 when we dropped, so I do have witness's:D (JC and Masher)...WOW what a day, I had my best day of boating in my life!!! I'll downlaod the pics at my shop tomorrow. I couldnt have been more pleased with the handling of the Tiger, we topped out at 71, it was rough out, we had 6 footers, a couple times I launched and had a couple/few seconds of air time..especially off the wake of a cargo ship in the bay:evilb:... I love the way my 311 handled, but hands down the length and power of the Tiger won me over, acceleration was perfect, when I first heard it run, I thought, man its quiet, but at speed its much, MUCH louder than I thought(which is a good thing). Thanks again to everyone that helped me get to this point with it. Today was more of a test and tune,I kept the tabs semi nuetral most of the time, to get a feel for the drives, then started using them, I'm still not used to left hand tab controls ,docking was a breeze, the trailer worked flawlessly... Victor, thanks for taking such good care of it, I couldnt be more pleased with my purchase...Rob

Rob, great meeting you today, glad to hear the boat was everything you were looking for. It is a beauty. Since you got back in one piece I guess the "christening" worked :D I already posted a crappy camera phone pic of you guys leaving, lo def will not do it justice, get some good pics up soon.

Thanks Russ, Ted, most of the pics we got are wake and rollers, lol..Most were prrof that it's not afraid of the water ahem, sean H...It still was a blast, we went the Kent island tour route and up the Severn, and blasted back out, met a couple guys with a warlock at pier 7, i'm still pumped at the ride, was incredible!!, pics will be up 1st thing in the AM...Rob

The christening was the key as far as I'm concerned:D

Thanks guys, I cant use the excuse that it's too rough out anymore. I know after a couple of those launches I would be in pain in a smaller boat. after the first time of smashing the throttles I knew I reaffirmed I hade made the right choice.

Re: Lawn sculpture no more...
 

Rob, nice meeting you as well, you have one beautiful boat!!!!!! I'm glad you had a successful maiden voyage. Trust me when I tell you, you are on the best river of the bay, central to everything...... Swing into Turkey Point next time you are out, there is always somebody around the marina or general area that you will recognize.

Re: Lawn sculpture no more...
 

Thanks guys, here are some of the pics, I couldnt log in from my shop this moring for some reason.

Re: Lawn sculpture no more...
 

more..here are some pics of brave souls in sailboats the size of bathtubs out in 4-6 footers:eek:

Re: Lawn sculpture no more...
 

Looks like a photoshop chop job special.... or it was when Victor owned it! :evilb:

We need real pics of you actually unloading the boat and driving it.... not ones that you found in the glove box from the previous owner.... :evilb:

Re: Lawn sculpture no more...
 

It was a fun weekend, here is a pic that shows a little more of the rough, it wasnt too bad, but I didnt want to be the guy that does stupid stuff on his first day out(like my buddy stecz). I'll get some more this weekend:D the rivers were actually nice and calm, was just an awesome first day. guess now I have to bring cans, my buddies bud bottles didnt like the waves...I hate drinkin outta cans...

Re: Lawn sculpture no more...
 

Steczy...bring it!! I like my steak medium.:evilb: :evilb: :D

Hey Rob,
Get some of those plastic bottles like they have at the Stadiums if you have to drink while boating :p :evilb: :( :drink:

Someone told me that cans are easier because you can smash them and the trash bag looks smaller!! :cool: :cool:

Re: Lawn sculpture no more...
 

Oops...Don't bash the Mrs., I was on her computer!!!!!


Stecz, are you on the weed??? You puffin the magic dragon????

:D :evilb: :drink: :evilb: :drink: :evilb:

Re: Lawn sculpture no more...
 

Have to? isnt it a pre rec? I'm a miller lite guy and mine were fine. I will check into the plastics though, beer in cans just always tasted like the can to me. it's true about the smashing, I think you know who and my friend went to the same school, he tried that logic on me on sunday, lol

He was smokin poles in Fl so I heard:evilb:

Re: Lawn sculpture no more...
 

Congrats Rob! It looks like you had a bunch of fun! That is one nice Tiger. I love orange on a boat.
