I would not say that Allan thats a nice ride you have also. Bring her on down.

David

The word on the street is that Reggie is going to bring a canopied F-2 boat.

Here is one out of our club.

You can also register and get info on line at http://www.jffpr.com/

Their ducks are fearless....

I like my duck grilled and b-b-qued....:D :D

Thanks vagrant....we'll see.;)

hmmm..... That is tempting Allan ! Thats earlier in the year than i had planned on taking the boat down......I would have to find someplace to leave it in the area.
My family is all in the area {Ponte Vedra}........
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

Hey dog, it will be a few weeks before I figure out if I can go or not, but I would love to do this. Itllfli and BAJBOAT are out, I already spoke with them. I'll talk to you in a week or two about it.

Are you going to Cumberland Poker Run??

Well.........Those two are PANSIES !!!:D

I want to do Cumberland...just to watch not run....
I gotta find someone who wants to go though...
My buds are Pansies tooooooooooo

:cool: :D

Them's fightin words..:D :D

...

guys this run is the most organized one i have been too! also unlike other runs every body runs together. the water is great. boats from 20 ft to 50 every one can make this run easy. big flat 3 mile wide 10 mile long straight aways. and yes the water after downtown is 75% fresh. see you all there james 33 scarab avs.

scarabj,

Are you going to have those 800's in the boat or are you going to be a barnacle?

Well maybe i will more than likely be carbed with no blowers it looks like it will cut it to close for the efi. but does it really matter with a big gun like a 155+ 36 nor tec coming and all the other big guns i will be in the middle of the pack. oh yea i forgot its not a race!!??

Just think of how I'm gonna feel if I go......:D ;)

Guys,

I come to an event like this to enjoy myself.

Last year there were five of us that layed back an ran together all day. We made the long run all the way down.

There was 26 Velocity, 31 Cig, 35 Cig, 38 Scarab and my 36 Baja.

We were the very last group to the crab shack for lunch and the last group back to the marina.

Just a nice 55 to 60 MPH run down and back and we had a BLAST!

The big fast guys are exiting, but let them go and just enjoy your self.

This is a very well run organized event and all those that attend will have a great time.

Come on down and run with us slow guys!!

Dock great idea i think i will try your style on this run. did you run down last year with that beautiful 31 cig bullet? what a great paint job!!

31 Cig = "Bullet Proof" out of Savannah

It is a great looking boat. He has actually done some paint improvements to it over the winter and it looks awesome.

But that was us. There is nothing like being on that river five to six wide at 70 MPH. It was really a great run on the way back.

See ya there.

This crew will be there with 3 different boats this year, I can't wait.:cool:

Anyone have any info on how many boats have registered so far? And what is the cut off #.:D

The new and improved Thoroughbred is going to try to be there.

Hey Hey don't anyone touch my duck's ..or i'll have then to do a fly over you and your boat.

Scarabj,

I know what you mean I will be in the middle of the pack with you.

:D TTT

Movin on

I believe this is a picture of your boat I took in Savannah

Hey Doc,
I got the time off and Stacy and I will be there with OUR boat this time.I finally found a pair of props and we did a test run yeterday.I ran it up to 5K on the rpm and Stacy said the speedo needle was bouncing off of the bottom of the speedo which reads 80mph.I still have a ton of throttle left and these small blocks will go up to 6200 Rpm.Troy Dennis set the rev limiters at 8K but the tranny and the drives would never take that,I believe that is insurance incase of getting airborne(which I have no intentions of doing).I wish I had not left my little GPS at home to get a true reading.The cruise at 4K(which is what you want on these engines,according to the manufacturer)is a comfortable 55 to 60mph acording to the speedometer.Anyway these numbers were taken with 125 gallons of fuel and two aboard.We will be arriving Friday early afternoon and spending the night with Stacy's sister who lives on the trout river,which you cross going over I95 just past the airport.We would love to run with you guys like last year.See you and Tommie in JAX.
Mark

Mark,

That is great news!

Really looking forward to seeing the boat. The numbers you are posting seem VERY slow. I would think you should be cruising at 65 to 70 MPH at least. Probably need to do more testing with props.

Last year could not have been better, it looks like we are going to have another pack of boats taking up the rear. I plan to run a little harder this year to the first card stop just for the fun, then hang back with everyone.

See you in a couple of weeks.

Mark

Doc,
If those speeds are accurate I do not know if they are,I am looking at about 13% slip which is high.But on the cats the faster you go the more efficient they run and at 60 I am just starting to air it out and you can really feel the transition.At below 60 or so the boat has a lot of bow steer and is sloppy.I may add about an inch of pitch and some cup and that may take care of some of the slip at lower speeds.I am running again this weekend and will bring my GPS to get accurate readings.
Mark

Hey Formula Bill.....
Can I bring my little jet boat down to run some hot laps in front of the Docks?......:D

JBB,

How about your turbine boat?

Well...................That one too!..................:D

JUST FIVE DAYS LEFT BEFORE THE ENTRY FEE GOES UP FROM $250.00 TO $275.00

Come on guys, get your entry in now so they will know how mush food and beer is needed.

I just heard from Chris, our local Eliminator dealer and faxed him an entry, he will bring one cat down for sure, maybe two!

Keep them cards and letters coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are doing all three runs and look forward to seeing everyone there.

Dock Holiday & Crew

mush?

Yes...mush and sweet tea......

some sort of local flavor......:D

WE ARE JUST GOING TO CRUISE LIKE WE DID THIS LAST WEEKEND!:D

NOT OVER 60 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you please tell teeter that.:D Man you guys looked good running up the lake. I hope to open the throttles up in Jacksonville.

David:eek: :D

Hell, if you did not have them opened up we are in BIG trouble.

You sand bagging on us!!!!:D

I gotta tell you that the 42 looks AWESOME in the water.

We need to switch boats for a couple of miles this weekend so we can see our boats in action!

Well, it looks like North Carolina is going to be well represented down in the sunshine state.

I think we are going down there and bring all that Florida money back up with us agian this year!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill, just go ahead and write "North Carolina" on that big bag of money. Dee, says we got some "Ducks" to feed!

....Doc....

Was there last year and will be there again.A word to the wise if you run to Silver Glen stay within the channel markers,there is a sand bar south of Palatka.I think it is around Horseshoe point,if you get lucky there will be people out on it partying,if not well I don't think I have to go there.:cool:James

Thanks for the warning, I hope they tell us exactly where that is before the run. People from out of town like myself and several others wont have a clue.:(
