Damn, sorry I missed the festivities till now.

Nice to see this turning into a great event for a great cause. If it's allowed, I'd like to make the offer for the Donzi Marine Restoration Society to sponsor the koozies for the event. We have an excellent printer here in Miamuh, or we can use yours, but if thats acceptable it's a firm offer.

Hey Parnell, can I borrow the GT-21?? :) :)

You should drive "Orthobam" boat.

I think we should get somebody with a 42' Fountain in there just for comparrison. :party-smiley-004:

If our buddy Joey gets his together for next year, it'd be contender...42 Fountain with 1300s...

Or...we have Dan Davies as a local boy, if his doesn't sell.

Or...RBH should bring his 42 with 1075s up to play..

I know you gentlemen have bigger boats and twice the power I do coupled to better then bravo drives, but boy do you guys have my respect for this even more so now.

I just went out in 3-4 footers in Ontario to burn some of the fuel left in my boat before I winterized, and boy did I pay. The rollers were enough that the boat would dip completely in the next roller and soak me before I could get on plane.
