Chicago boat show pics
 

Managed to sneak away from our booth to snap a few pics of a few performance boats.
The 27' Magnum had all aluminum 430 cu. in. dry sumped small blocks. The graphics are all vinyl.
Tim & Denise from Bio Clean.

Formula did'nt have much in the high performance line. Here's a 357, that was their best.
Black Thunder had this triple eng. beauty.

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Donzi had a couple hot ones. A 35, and the new 38, both were powered with the 525's. Also had the 22 ftr. that I forgot to shoot a pic of. :(
Here's Chi-Town Hustler "Mark" playin with the throttles. :evilb:

Team Fountain
Scott Shogren of Shogren Performance Marine had a little power. :D A few of the factory reps were on hand, along with Wyatt and Reggie Fountain. A few of the Fountain girls were along "for the ride" and to sell the appareal.
Scott and Wyatt with their new 38' toy. :D

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

On saturday, Once Reggie showed up, there was a standing line waiting to get his autographed poster and a picture with him. The booth was wall to wall people, and I could'nt hardly get a pic without someone stepping in front of me. :mad: And it stayed like that the rest of the afternoon. :eek:

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Nice pictures Frank. Did you happen to get one of the 42 Fountain that was there?

Re: Chicago boat show pics

They got my vote. :D :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Thats only because Skip Braver didn,t show up. :D

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Do we also have a new maintenance team???

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Just one Roger, :( Cause I thought you were buying it and I was gonna get all the pics of it that I wanted once it was in your driveway !!!!!!! :eek:

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

He was invited, he did'nt show. :( That's 2 years in a row, maybe next year. :D

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

That's it...I'm buying a Fountain!!!!!!!

:evilb: :drink: :evilb: :drink:

Great pics of Hef....I mean Reggie!!!! :D

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Maybe he was at the McDonalds getting some new interior design ideas!!! :D :D

Beautiful boat, but I personally would have to get different colors in the cockpit. :)

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Frank
I was thinking that too but Scott went and sold it on me :eek:

That's OK, I would have to go home and sell Peggy on the idea and she's a tougher sell than I am :D

Do you remember what his boat show price was?

Roger

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Nice Pics thanks!

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Nice pics. Do you have any more of the Baja 275? Not sure if I really liked the windscreen or not but did like the boat. Hope to get into one later this year if my wife and I can find the right deal.

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Nice pics Frank, now I know what the rest of the show looked like. :D

Roger

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Frankie,

I'm STILL f'in laughing about that cooler and the escalator ! !

:D :D :D

man, I was in tears :drool:

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Great pics Frank! Sorry I missed everyone.

Mark, it's those Vs that make us look fat. You look skinnier when you hang out by the cats. :drink: :drink:

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Craig, that Cig was just gorgous !!! :evilb: It was a little busy with the colors, but the detail in the interior, and under the hatch was 100% custom.
I'd be afraid to own it cause I'd be worried about scratching something. :eek: The washers on the motor plate bolts were anodized !!! :eek: UNBELIEVABLE Just beautiful. :D

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Thanks for the great Pics...

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Roger, I did save some pics of the 42 from the day we set up last week. It had the new Merc 600's, and it sold for in the 260's. Scott IS getting one more with 600's in it. Should be in very soon.
But, better yet !!!!!!!!!! I just got back from Mercury Racing up in Fondulac today with Scott. He told me that he's getting the FIRST (2) 42's with the new Merc power that will be announced at Miami. We got a sneak preview of the new engine/drive combination. :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:
Don't ask, :( CAN'T talk about it till after the Miami show. :mad:

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Great pic's Frank, How did you get the cabin shots in the Cigarette? Roger was watching that boat like a hawk!!

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

:D I went over his head. :eek: There's this real cool guy that's the manager of Grand Sport, his name's Jim, do you know him? :rolleyes: Well, anyway, I asked in a real nice way if he could take a few shots of the cabin while Roger was away for a few moments,(probably chasing some skirts or something) :rolleyes: and he said sure, anything for you.
Thanks Jim, you're pretty good with my camera. :D

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Couldn't help but noticing the ratio of boat vs babes pictures. :evilb:

Great pictures!

Re: Chicago boat show pics
 

Did you look at the glass work? sorry, I don't agree. You don't get a free pass on bad glass work because you spend a lot of money on paint. Just my opinion, the rest of the boat was rock star.
