Look at the boats in the background and the cruiser wake

Not the biggest water, but a great running 47 none the less.

The funnest thing about this thread is that with the run being dated June 22...the lake will most likely be smooth as glass.

You're right Mike!!!!! and it will be 90. Then it will turn into a Gentleman's cruise to St. Joe for onion rings, then boaters, then back to Hammond or East Chicago. Nothing over 55 so i can keep up.

Hey Dan this was taken 30 miles offshore middle of Lake Michigan late 90's
we know the tie up drill and that will be fine as well.
Beer and onions I just hope the after party is well ventalated :lolhit:

Disclamer I already took a bunch o sh!t back in the day for doing it case closed. It was concluded I'm :crazy::drool1:

However if you dont trust you wheel throttle man/woman with your life well than you better not race or run in the rough
PERIOD!
We have been running boats for over 25 years together:thankyouthankyou:

Looking forward to this!

Been in WW, ran next to it (actually got passed by it!) during Boyne Thunder, What a WICKED boat!

Love them Skaters also. IF I see a cat run better then a V on Lake Michigan I will be in the market for a new boat!

Lake Michigan is no joke, and video never does it justice.

See you all there!
