Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

what exactly are the details of this run??? i am from new york,but was thinking of coming down with my boat the same week of the run.is this on the inside or outside?good turnout??how many miles?

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

You can run on the inside, or the outside. Not very far, maybe ten miles, if that?

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

We leave the Hyatt which is basically next door to the 10th St. boat ramps, which are just fabulous. We run from the Hyatt across Sarasota Bay and out "New Pass" then head north in the Gulf following Longboat Key. We go about 20 something, maybe 25 and cut back in at Coquina Beach. Then hang a right and go to Mar Vista for lunch and cocktails, about a mile down on the right. Then we head back down Sarasota Bay back to the Hyatt. Round trip is maybe 55 miles or so, possibly 60.

This is just a very casual get together, an excuse to go boating. No helicopters, no entry fees, no videos, just good people getting together to have some fun doing what we all love to do. EVERYONE is welcome except blowbotes.

Last year I think we had around 25 boats. It was a blast and the weather was post card perfect.

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

most take the outside i assume,any thing fast?

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Speed2lead has a 30' spectre...about 100mph or so.

The rest cruise 50-60, just a GREAT,GREAT time.

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

I just got my charts out and I make the run going outside up and inside back around 48 miles or so, Hyatt Basin back to Hyatt Basin.

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"

Thanks a bunch!!!

Rick

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

We went an extra lap of the course last year with Tim G and his bud from PA in the hustler just to put in some extra miles. Didn't we go out big pass last year?

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

We did...........I thought the same thing...............

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Your both right, it's been so long since I've been on the water I'm surprised I didn't say "the Venice Jetties":rolleyes:

And I even just got through looking at the chart too. :rolleyes:

Good thing I'm not leading the parade, besides last time I pointed someone, I got Addiction stuck up in the middle of Mudville.

sorry. :rolleyes:

I need a beer. :drink: :drink:

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

I don't remember the name of the pass, but it's the one south of the Hyatt.

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

It's Big Pass.....

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

The last I heard, he was going to finish it in one more weekend. Has he lost interest?

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

If I was in FL I'd go but we are going to Beiijing and Hong Gone for half a month! EEK!

LMAO Hong Gone.................


Y'all have fun ya hear!:)

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

"Fave Hun in Hong Gone"

Hope you're feeling better.

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Outside please !....... :D :D

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

:evilb: You can count on Lady Luck for Bloody Marys at noon and a bait burger by noon. You can count on the Hustler 50 and the Lady Luck see ya on the water..

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

I think we'll take out our Turbine flats boat that runs about 55 mph in the rough! anyone up for a race? We've got that thing so dialed in and arrow dinamic it's a joke. Ryan will back me up on this one!

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Yea here's a pic of the nasty weather and water on the outside. Last Year.

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Ugly sunset that day too

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Ryan,

CashBar and I were the 2 freezing our Nutz off in the back of Tims Boat during that "Extra Lap", the day was Beeutiful, but this year I am bringing a sweatshirt for when that beutiful sunset comes around :D :D

OH, Steves Boat is a 26 Sonic, not a Hustler :p

Rick

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Havent Lost interest, just one more weekend of this, then one more weekend of that, then we still have to clear it, and put the interior back in, and the new hatch on. It'll be a while longer, but still faster than the Engine Saga :rolleyes: :D :drink:

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

What started out as a simple fuel/wate seperator upgrade turned into a change the entire exhaust, drop the silent thunder box, new tips, relocate for the second time the new Racorp units, rewired and all new LED lighting for the trailer, new winch and strap for the trailer, two new batteries, having new 3 inch "riser" spacers custom made, and I'm finally within "feet" of the end of the tunnel.

Been a friggin long tunnel.

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Russ, I expect to see it on Lake Harris next weekend! :drink:

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

I'm feeling much better. Thank you Russ. BTW... nothing new popped up here! ;)

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Russ or anyonw else I should have a couple extra seats if you need them!

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Have you been talking to Cuda???? He doesn't really believe I'll have Outlaw ready. If it's not I'd love to ride with you but right now I'm 99.9% sure I'll finally have my own boat back in the water. I'm sure someone would take you up on your offer, thanks.



Cuda wants me to try to make the Lake Harris "Toys for Tots" run next weekend, but I don't think Outlaw will be quite ready. I'm supposed to pick the spacers up today, (been hearing that all week, Tom Rohr is good but slow) then gotta hook up with the Gusman to help me get it back together. After that I want to take it for a shake down run to be sure everything is okay. New Year's Fun Run is the important one for me. Although I would love to do the Lake Harris Run, my parents used to boat on Lake Harris when I was a kid. It would make my Dad smile, I'm sure.

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Glad to Rick & Cash.....Feel bad for Cash after the B.S. he has been Through !!
You bringing your bud Jason ?....He realy should spend some time on a Top Gun.....

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Don I think you might , I've been trying to talk paul into comming but Jen can't travel that far. Can you get Bob Russel and Caleb to come too?

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

If you have room on the boat, I'll see if he is up for it.

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
 

Formula....

That is too frikken funny, Actually, Cuda and I were discussing Jayl13's boat, but it kinda fits your saga also.

Rick

Re: New Year's Day "Fun Run"
