As far as I know, my little 35 Fountain is all good...just looks like a bomb went off below deck! Crap all over the place!
I wasn't wearing a shirt (but I WAS wearing a lanyard and a vest), and the spot on my lower back that comes in contact with the bolster is literally rubbed raw...looks like turf-burn!

Inferno split between deck and hull for the second time. Mike drives the snot out of that boat, and Formula puts it back together for him EVERY time, no $$. Heck, he got the cover of Powerboat mag last year at the Chicago run.
The 40 Skater with the hole delaminated right in front of me just as we got to the Chicago card stop. Everybody was ok, they took the boat out at Burnham harbor in the city...11'6" beam, 11'8" ramp!!
On Friday I was out in a 38 Gun (Kool-Aid Man) and he ripped the front bolster in half!! Thanks to DeWalt and some heavier screws, he was in business again soon!

You sure did rip it up Mike, can not believe that some of the boats were able to run as hard as they did. The Baja 25 was running balls out having a heck of a good time, probably until he woke up the next day!!!!!! Great fun, and you guys did a great job, must of been the safety coordinator with the little wrench during the meeting......

Heck after reading OSO I would be more afraid on boating on LOTO from all the cruiser wakes swamping boats. If you sign up for ANY poker run you are not guaranteed water or weather conditions, Lake Erie, Lake MI, The Atlantic Ocean from NY to FL could all change from one day to the next. Plus any poker run might be a wash out because of rain. You can't really make any decisions on what poker run to sign up for based on the conditions from the year before.
