Frick, on that poker run, I’m now remembering they had a chase helicopter and we know they ain’t cheap!
I would say 20+ boats still leaving the river when we got there.
Two canopied boats.
A 40-ish MTI (I think) cat and a vee!
Both w/1350’s.
A couple of the crews in matching uniforms.
BTW, we were at PIB for the British car races last yr and having lunch at the Boardwalk when a similar MTI cat w/1150’s and two quad OB center consoles pulled in together.
My Bro-in-law was w/us and loves boating w/us.
Grabbed him and headed to the boats telling him, you’re going to want to see this!
The cat had open engine hatches for us to drool!
Bro of course ask’s, “how much?”.
Answered that it depends on options and started pointing them out.
Like the matching graphics, in the gel, on the bottom of the engine hatches!
Bro stood there w/his jaw hanging open.
Owner was very nice and picked up right away who/what we were.
Coolest part was, the three boats were from Detroit and came down for lunch!
Bro (of course) asks, “how fast?”.
Owner laughs and says, we saw 135 on the way down!
Bro talked about it for wks!
Love it when it works that way!
