Holy crap.......Is that your boat in your profile pic? Were you docked at Bayfront Suites for the races? We stayed there planning on bringing a 38 Hustler (that wasn't ready) so one of our party got a buddy to come stay with a 35 Marlago CC that was docked beside you (if it was you).

Its got to be a boring pig to drive that thing even with 1000+ HP.
I can't believe 2 guys are on that thing while the chopper comes/goes. I understand they need guys on the "ground" to secure it/release it but one wrong move and its going to be another Vic Morrow event.
Its got to be dicey for the pilot too, landing a 6mm chopper on a floating barge! Noticed the chopper didn't even have floats!

I dunno, doesn't look to have much freeboard up front. I would think that being towed behind the yacht, at much more than idle, the prop wash would swamp it? Their whole poker run/ event operation is crazy impressive. Which boat does Derrick even drive himself ha?
