XXX sighted in MI
 
Just saw XXX in Livonia heading up I-275. Boat looks much better in person. Anyone know where it was headed?

The colder the water, the less friction it has, and the faster the boat goes; right, eh? :D :D

Ya, nice rig. He's a great guy. He's been towing my boat around all summer for me. He made that fiberglass bed himself. Too bad someone ripped the side of it in the parking lot at Smoke on the Water. Probably an accident, but no note.


Vandy, glad to hear. I assume your boat is back on the water. (your Cig sure is beautiful...I saw it at Keith's shop)

xXx is Jimmy Wiley's and I think it was headed for the 1000 Island Poker Run, then back to Florida for Emerald Coast Poker Run and OPBA Labor Day Weekend Poker Run in St. Petersburg / Sarasota.

Jimmy & Celeste are on the poker run tour for 2005 and having fun.

I may be wrong, but I think the canopy is removeable.

BTW, the paint on your cig is awesome!!!!

Nice. I thought I saw that boat at LCM in Kentucky back in May when we picked up our 46. It had a fresh pair of 1075s in it. Great looking machine in the shop. Even better on the water!

Tell Keith hello for Jim Lee, Take it easy in your Skater, Run it hard but not to hard!! Get to know your Skater. I'm not a mother hen but Keith will say the same thing. We've been there and back a few times over the years. Have FUN!! :D

Will do. Keith is going to the Shootout with me, we just got our helmets ordered. He has been driving with me everytime I've had my boat out. He's been holding me back. That Skater feels so comfortable and safe, it's easy to want to push her. He's teaching me all the ins and outs. I told him I was talking to you, he laughed and said "Oh yeah, I know Jim....he's a great guy".
:D :D

The boat will be at 1000 islands, as far as I know Jim still owns it.

What happened to the talk of Outerlimits building a cat? :cool: I bet it would be pretty good looking, and considering the performance from the v's, one helluvan azz kicker :evilb:

Mike is running a 39 GTX for the rest of the season. Wait untill Miami and you will see the "Cat" get let out of the bag.

Re: XXX sighted in MI
 
I was at the OL factory on Friday and saw Mike's new ride. It is one sweet looking rig, a 39 with 850's. Paul said that they are thinking it will run 125-130. Paul also said that they are still working on the design of the cat. Saw the mold of the new vee there also. Be looking for the first one something in Sept. or Oct.
