Meeting with "The Chief"
 

I had an interesting sit down last evening with an old and dear friend.... Bobby Saccenti. He and his associates, Sean Stinson and Scott Grady were in town to explain the new Chief Powerboats venture...and they were kind enough to invite me.

It was great to see the "magic throttle arm" again and we shared a bunch of memories. Most importantly, Bobby and I agreed that anything either of us is involved in will have the other's unquestioned support...so consider this my endorsement of the new venture.

Now if they would only lose the steps........;)

Best wishes to the new Chief Powerboats Team.

I thought the same thing about the "steps".......but hey if Bobby thinks there OK then they must be!

Rich,

I want to personally thank you and Dave P for taking the time to sit down and listen to what we had to say. It was a great day and Typhoon has a first class operation. Check out their website www.typhoonperformancemarine.com for all of your boating needs.

Again Dave and Rich thank you so much.

Sean

Great Meeting with you as well Rich. Thanks for sharing the stories !

T2x will wake up one day and see the performance value of oozing bubbles!!!! Otherwise, he'll be the only one holding a buggy whip! :D :D :D :D Steps rule! :D

THE CHIEF
 

Got to spend the day with the chief and crew yesterday, it's great have these guys only a couple of hours away from my house. Thanks for a great day. Steve

It was a pleasure to host Mr. Stinson, Mr. Grady and the one and only Chief who as always was a wealth of information and stories :D :D

The Chief and T2x sitting at the same table swapping stories.........it doesn't get any better than that. Maybe someone should catch it on video :eureka: hummmmm....... stay tuned :D

;)

Thank You
 

Dave P

It was very nice of you to take time out and show us your facility, Typhoon Performance Marine. It’s a first class Hi Performance operation. Also I was very impressed with the powerboat racing memorabilia in your office, brought back many fine memories.

Thank you for your hospitality, it was much appreciated. Please keep me informed on the Arneson conversion project you are working on. I'm interested on how she will turn out.

Mr. Rich Luhrs

All I can say is to have lunch with the Honorable T2X was the highlight of the trip.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon

I enjoyed having dinner with you in Crown Point Indiana, it was very interesting conversation. Don’t forget to tell Fred “Too Old” about the ketchup stains on his steering wheel.

Bob

It was a good time had by all the other night.
Thanks for the advice.
Funny stuff about the steering wheel. ;)
See you soon,
Dennis Hinkle

As long as I have to look over my shoulder to see most of you........ I'll keep on keep'n on.

"Steps Rule......... rhymes with "Stepped Fool"

T2x;)

No....you have it all wrong!

"Straight bottoms......yesterday's technology today!" :D :D :D

T2x Question
 

Would you call me sometime. I have a question.

Do you really think this would be faster with steps.....?

Remember it took the Miss Budweiser..........and almost 50 years................... to raise the propeller driven speed record....10%.

Yesterdays technology...in many ways was ahead of today's.


T2x

Of course not......but that is a small obsolete boat over trimmed!! :D :D

"Straight Bottoms..........back to the future!!!!" :D :D :D
