How does that little 33 float those huge balls?
That boat is impressive

"So how big are these?" "Big!!!" Lol!

[QUOTE=PROWRENCH;4458200]Never knew they made jocks out of chainmail?!

The amount of boats turning around is a direct indication of the level of intelligence, competence, and responsible boaters who attend this event. These are not "beat-your-chest" boaters here. They have bad-ass equipment that does have the ability to handle the exact conditions presented on Saturday.

They have nothing to prove to anyone and are not willing to risk their crews, their equipment, or the reputation/safety record of the BT event.

I have nothing but praise for the organizers and the entire Boyne community for the event that they put forth. Our NY crew on the MTI were completely impressed and almost overwhelmed with what this event offers- the ability for us to participate in giving back to an amazing and appreciative charitable cause. We must thank all of Boyne for helping remind us that the greatest gifts are given, not received.We can't wait to bring our families next year to share this joy with them.

Plans are already in place to up our game at the street show, defend our stereo wars title by going WAYYYY over-the-top, and then get to run the full poker run coarse under safer conditions with the rest of some awesome boats overshadowed only by the quality of people and crews that truly make this event so much more than just boating.

With sincere gratitude, the CUZ I CAN MTI crew: Ken, Kelly, Mike and Nolan.

BTW.........Those that went out and ran and did so safely have all of our respect. Wish that was us too, but we did not bring the boat or the willingness to have that "fun".
Awesome pics and it is great to see offshore boats run in offshore conditions !!

Posting just to bump AJs post and video down which is being covered by a stupid web ad. What's up with that?

Nice vid fisher.... was a good run...

Just to add to.... Before we decided to continue on, I received a full thumbs up from the crew. They were hesitant at first (as you can tell from the commentary in the vid!) but once we got out and they realized it wasn't that terribly bad. They wanted to continue. At no time did I make a decision to continue on without full support and approval from the crew. If the conditions would have been beyond my driving skill level or the boats ability to navigate the waters then we would have returned to safe harbor. I/We had nothing to prove to anyone, we just wanted to play and have some fun.

"Hey!!" - LOL

About how fast were you cruising in those conditions? Just curious for my own benefit running in bumpy water, not looking to stir the pot.
