Default Shogren's Fountain @ Chicago boat show

The Chicago Powerboat Club will have their setup at the exihibit of Shogren Performance Marine. And, "They've got the power"
While we were setting up last friday Scott Shogren gave me the opportunity to board his and Wyatt Fountains new race boat. Took a few pics, but remember they were in the setup stages, so it's still a little messy.

There was a faint smell of race gas that I could detect while in the cockpit. What a great natural high for any powerboater.
A view from Wyatts seat.
Very clean rigging on this ride.

The air scoops.
And Scott, NO !!! I'm not gonna pose like a model. There will be a assortment of models working the show each day, so you'll just have to come and see for yourselfs.
BTW, Scott had a hard time getting me to want to get off that boat. I kept letting him know how good I fit in those race seats.

Anyone that comes to the show from Jan 11th thru sunday the 15th, can't miis the booth. He is having a 20 some ft. wide 2 sided banner hanging from the ceiling over the display. A few pics while the crane was hanging it.
There's also a beautiful factory painted 42 with the new Merc 600's in it.

And a BIG thank you to Scott Shogren for allowing me to post these pics before the show opens this week.

Under the hatches of the 42. 600 S/C's
The colors on the dash match the colors on the sides and top of the boat. Because of all the equiptment in the main isles, I could'nt get a good pic of the side of the 42.

Just to remind everyone,

The Chicago Powerboat Club is having a big party saturday evening, starting at 7 pm, at "Dave and Busters" in downtown Chicago. Shogren Performance Marine, and Livorsi Marine are sponsoring the party.

Reggie and Wyatt Fountain will be at the booth on saturday between 11am and 3 pm to answer any questions anyone may have, take pics with the models, and sign autographs. BRING your cameras !!!
Reggie will also be the guest speaker at our party, saturday night.

We ARE gonna have a good time. Why do you think I volunteered to work everyday. I personally know all of the models that will be working with us at the show everyday.
That's the 2nd reason.
