Need help at loto!
 

I need help at Loto. I was unable to make it due to my Grandma passed away and we just had the funeral. The Mercedes Boat is at Loto and Larry Goldman and Brad Zastro are going to run it in the speed trial.
It's been a tough few days and need to be with my family but It's still killing me that I'm not there. I need photos and videos. Please, if your there record what you can for me. I'm sitting here in my living room watching it rain outside!

Gino......Sorry to here of your loss...Grandmas are very special people.

I'm in the office watching it rain also. Maybe tomorrow we will take the Sutphen for a ride, weather permitting.

Gino,
Sorry for your Loss, I just spoke with John Cosker, and all I know is that Callan ran 203. That's the best run of the day, but there's still tomorrow.

We will take nice care of your beautiful mercedes. Sunday we will call you after we run. We are sorting out some setup issues with mine, think we have it.

I know you will! I have complete trust in you. Brad, Don't let Larry make me look bad! I want a BIG Number! If the speed dosen't start with at least a 17?, tell him not to come home!:blaster: :D :D
Good luck with both boats!!

I had a few running issues with my boat today but hoping to have it fixed tomorrow morning. If I get it done I'll be there. If you can post up a few pics of your boat so I know what to look for and I'll get some pics and a video for you. Sorry for the loss.
Brandon

1st sorry for your loss GINO god bless, and with this quote about not coming home you crack me up:D .you are one cool dude:D I how they run in the 180s for yah. art

146 just heard on the radio feed

gINO, JUST SAW your boat run, ran 146, looked very smooth and trimmed nice, hopefully Larry can get it to 150-152mph, stay tuned, sounded bad ass at the finish line

Well man, our group of boats just kept blowing out past the bouy's so we left and just as we were pulling out you boat comes idleing in to head to run I believe so I didn't get a vid or pics of it running but did get you a few pics and a vid of it idleing through. Sorry bud, I'll get what I got posted up this evening for you. Getting ready to head out to shooters by land now. If their still there I'll get lots of up close pics from the dock too. BTW... That is one AWESOME looking boat you got there my friend! You have to be proud.
Brandon

Got quite a few pics of the good ol' OSO boat puttin around also.

So the MTI is a family boat and Skater is when you want to be on top? :angry-smiley-044:

Gino, your boat was the last boat to run and it just hit 153mph, awesome looked great, the boys did good for you gino

Sorry for your loss Gino

Well, I think if you want to be on TOP, you need a Mystic 50:D

Gino, Brad looked good geting your award with the Hawaiin Tropic girls hanging on him at the award ceremony.

Gino,

sorry to hear about your loss, boat looked great.

My condolences Gino on the loss of your Grandmother.

I'm visiting mine in Chicago on Tuesday. She turns 99 next month. The old bird is actually cooking a full-on Spaghetti dinner for me! Nothin like it

As for the boat; number doesn't start with 17.......... but you shouldn't be to disappointed. A 44' boat that seats four and does 153 is nothing to sneeze at!

Good luck man

Sorry I didn't get any of them running it for ya.

Boat looks and runs great Gino!! Sorry about your Grandma.

Thank you for all the condolenses and the beautiful pictures! Believe me, it was killing me not being there. I didn't really expect it to run in the 170's under the circumstances, they did a great job running it and a 153 is actually better then I expected. Up until yesterday afternoon, the boat wasn't going to run. Late yesterday I decided to Let Larry Goldman and Brad Zastro run it for fun. Due to the fact I couldn't make it up there we never set the boat up for a speed run. It was still set up from running in Destin last weekend. We still had approx 90 gal of fuel in each side, the drives were turning out instead of turning in, and last but not least, they used a set of borrowed props that were too small of a pitch.
SOOOO, Larry dosen't have to worry, he can come home, I'm proud of the run they did!

Thank you very much for all the pictures!!!, From the looks of them Allen from Xtreme Marine had a nice day!!
