Went down for the races and rented a 19' Cobia to get near a turn. Got a few good shots. Water was choppy as hell and that little piece of fiberglas was bouncing all over the place -- so I might break my rule and post one or two that aren't in sharp focus... :cool-smiley-026:

a few more from the bridge... coming back under from the ocean side you had to be QUICK on the trigger- they came out from under the bridge so fast there was only a split second to get a decent shot while they were between the bridges... it was different, to say the least...

Who's bat boat is that?

Ryan Beckley 05-19-2008 08:44 AM

The bat boat belongs to Curt Watkins. He also owned "The Switch" Super Vee the bat boat is the nicest one around completely done by Rick Turmel and Steve Schmidt.

Ryan Beckley 05-19-2008 09:06 AM

Jayboat ....sorry we never caught up......you must have just missed our acrobatics on lap one right in front of you. We hit on comming out from under the bridge. Put it on it's side for 100 yards, ripped off a cowling and hatch and continued on. No trim and alot of water.....

jayboat 05-19-2008 09:19 AM

Ryan- I saw that out of the corner of my eye. There were three work boats that were blocking my view of that area coming out from under the bridge. There was a lot of stuff happening on the first lap, plus I was trying to adjust to that little cork I was on- took a few minutes to get settled into a rhythm. Sorry I missed your tricks! A lot of boats were catching big air coming out from under the bridge, but I couldn't see em because of the blockage, especially that big fat searay.

Great job as always Jay, thank you

nice boat for sure, saw it in Key West several years ago. Good to see it out an racing. Is that a Bravo or DPX boat? Nice pics Jay!

Ryan Beckley 05-19-2008 09:43 AM

It has a Bravo For Sure and a 377 I think.

jayboat 05-19-2008 07:56 PM

Here's a good sequence of the boat that gives a good idea of the day's water conditions.

Damn....Curt needed an orange flag on that bat boat so everyone can see him !!!! Dave

Ryan Beckley 05-20-2008 09:07 AM

It ran fine without the cowling but we lost trim and had a ton of water in that side of the boat too. It also lost the big hatch on that side.

Jay,
You always find the best place to shoot from. Great job again.

I saw you ride and stayed at the same hotel. I wish we could have crossed paths.

jayboat 05-21-2008 05:06 AM

Bruce- sorry, bro- didn't get a single bikini all weekend. I must be losing my grip.

Damn, Jim- sorry I missed you. We will meet down the road.
