Re: My Smoke pics
 

Thank you very much for the work, it was an honor to work on your boat. It was an awsome weekend, and it was great to see all the 41's SABERS together. I probadly slow a boat a little,and I diffently cause a list to one side or the other but I am moveable ballast. It was great to have so many freinds in our home town for a great event. Well I have to get the big dog ready for an other poker run this coming weekend, everybody have a good day. Thanks again Jim and Mary, see you in a couple weeks. Steve

HOLY CRAP !!!! That looks like a promo pic for the "Big Chuck and Little John Show" here in Cleveland !!!!!

I don't feel that short ?!???!?!?!?! :rolleyes:

Re: My Smoke pics
 

Wow, I can see the spare tire shine ! That Rig is fabulous !!!

Re: My Smoke pics
 

Is this Danny and Arnold after they made the movie Twins? :cool:

Brandon would have stayed at the Holiday Inn if he knew there was going to be movie stars. :) NK

Re: My Smoke pics
 

Ain't that the truth. Parnell's deck and hatch were only safe with a set of ice skates on. WickedWon looked like it had just been built! Steve did an EXCELLENT job cleaning those boats.

Jim I think this pic gives a little justice to Steve's detail work. See my reflection taking the picture? :cool:

Re: My Smoke pics
 

Damn !!!! I just drooled on my keyboard!! Nice hardware guys!!! (Boats are nice too!!) :D . Seriously, top notch rigs. :cool:

Re: My Smoke pics

Re: My Smoke pics
 

If that 27 Fountain is JIM VALAKEO's it only has about 750-775 HP.
But yes it does do about mid 90's.

Re: My Smoke pics
 

Well it looks like we dodged a bullet, Sterling says no real damage from the water and will have the motor off the dyno and ready for pick up today. The freak'n intercooler core simply broke :mad: I want to thank both Saber and Sterling for busting their azz's to get this taken care of QUICKLY ! We're not gonna try for PRA this weekend but should be ready for East Sides run next week :drink:

BTW the motors were both making a ton of power this year, thanks Mike D.

Tonto, don't miss next year, SOTW is all fun and WIDE OPEN WATER ( Stu won't holler at ya :D )

Brandon, I'll post this pic (thanks Corrado) just to prove you actually showed up. :D ( he's the skinny kid in the back :D :D ) Dan, sorry but I had to post this even though your hair wasn't perfect :D

See everybody next year !!

Re: My Smoke pics
 

He did have over 900 hp in it about two years ago but detuned it when he stuck his head through the side window one day. :eek:

Congrats Jim. Happy to hear about your motor. I had a feeling after I saw it on Monday that you were going to be ok. Any details on the leopa run that leaves from monroe. Who what when where? Maybe I could come over and have you kick my azz. :drink: NK

Nothing troubles me more than the day we decided to stop putting on Smoke On The Water

Mostly I miss the Make A Wish Kids and watching the fun they had going for rides all day But i also miss the entire event. We had so many great people participate and help us raise money for Make A Wish

I fear things will never be as they were (maybe it is as it should be) Offshore boating continues to change

These events are a massive amount of work but well worth it when the end result is some of the most awesome people, with the coolest hardware, attending a special event to help out less fortunate kids


Brandon, This thread was fun to go back through and remember all the fun

WS402, Thanks for bringing it back up :)
